What's your most memorable class trip? The class trip I remember best is when my entire high school batch went to Cebu (another big city in the Philippines) together. It was fun to be able to bunk with my best friends, and to get to explore all these different sites and shops we'd never been to before.
Four Days of You and Me was released May 5, 2020 by Sourcebooks Fire.
I received an ARC from the author for review. All opinions stated here are my own.
I honestly went into The Paper Girl of Paris without any knowledge of what the actual plot was, and was pleasantly surprised! The tale begins in the present, where readers follow Alice as she spends the summer in Paris uncovering her grandmother's secret history, starting with the abandoned apartment that's been left to her. But as the plot unfolds, readers are treated to chapters set in the past, following Adalyn, who lives in a Nazi-occupied Paris and gets involved in the dangerous work that comes with being part of a resistance group. I'll leave off further details, but I will say that this is a really compelling story! While the presence of two timelines doesn't always work in books, it suited this particular narrative (though it would get frustrating when one timeline ended on a pivotal moment and we'd skip back to the other). I really loved being immersed in the two different versions of Paris, and also really liked the fact that it felt like I was learning more about a piece of history in a way that felt extremely personal to these characters. While I didn't necessarily feel a strong personal connection to either of our main gals (though I will say I enjoyed Adalyn more than Alice), I did feel moved by what they both went through. I definitely enjoyed getting swept up in this story!
What do you miss most about Paris? I miss going to different cafes and just indulging in delicious coffee and pastries. You can 100% bet that the next time I'm in Paris, I will be revisiting some of my favorite spots (and hopefully finding new ones to love too)!
The Paper Girl of Paris will be released on May 26, 2020 by HarperTeen.
