Third, his neighbors are… interesting… and want absolutely nothing to do with Jess. He’s nowhere to be found and has left his wallet, keys, and Vespa behind. First of all, the apartment building he’s been living in is stunning and huge: how could Ben possibly have afforded this on his journalist salary!? Second, he seems to have gone missing. She flees to Paris to crash with her half brother Ben for a bit, only to find that maybe he’s got some secrets of his own. And the plot felt really creative and fresh to me! I don’t want to tell you too much about it for fear of giving things away so I am going to keep the plot summary light.Ī young woman (Jess) is in need of a fresh start. People either really loved it or just… hated it? I was of the camp of really loving it! I thought it was twisty and well written. I’m glad I finally picked it up and read it! Based on my DMs, this was a polarizing one.

This book sat in my TBR pile for wayyyyy too long.

Overall Score A- The Paris Apartment, by Lucy Foley I guessed part of the ending but tore through this in 24 hours… I needed to know what happened! Absolutely loved it. But as we see throughout the book, Kaavi has made some other enemies and Amaya (as unlikeable as she is throughout a large chunk of the book) may not be to blame after all. Kaavi is presumed dead and Amaya is the man suspect. The book alternates between past, present, plus police transcripts. Things take a turn when Kaavi goes missing. We have it all: an unreliable narrator, a glamorous locale, best friends turned enemies… I could go on.

Amaya becomes consumed with one thought: she must stop the wedding from happening. Kaavi is now a social media influencer (and the founder of a charity that helps underprivileged girls). Amaya and Kaavi haven’t spoken in years (we don’t know why but we know something bad happened) and the groom is Amaya’s ex-boyfriend. The book opens with Amaya being invited to her ex-best friend Kaavi’s over-the-top wedding in Sri Lanka. Tell me what you are reading in the comments – I love love love your recommendations! Everything I Read in August 2022 Seven Thrillers… You’re Invited, by Amanda Jayatissa But truly, everything on the list is worth reading… it is a rare month where everything receives an A- or above!Īs always, I also put these reviews in The Library, where you can easily search and filter (by “grade” or genre!). I really loved everything I read this month but if I had to really edit down the list, I would say (if you love thrillers/suspense as much as I do) that When We Were Bright and Beautiful and Hidden Pictures were the two can’t miss reads of the month. 7 of which are thrillers (the heart wants what the heart wants), plus a historical fiction gem. It was a solid month of reading! 8 books.
