A charming second-chance love story for fans of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Does first love deserve a second chance?
During her first week at art college, Rosie Jackson, almost seventeen, locks eyes with the charismatic Peter from across the room of their nude figure drawing class, and the course of her life is changed forever.
Now, on the cusp of sixty-five and recently widowed, Rosie is slowly coming to terms with a new future. And after a chance encounter with Peter forty-seven years later, she is brought back to that summer of 1968, when she gave her heart away to love, pain, and loss, and when she dared to dream boldly of a life in Paris. As Rosie and Peter pick up where they had left off, they both begin to wonder what if . . .
Told with warmth, wit, and humor, We'll Always Have Paris is a moving and uplifting novel about two people giving love a second chance in later life--the choices they make, the lives they lead, and the love they share.
So I adored and loved We’ll Always have Paris. It was funny, sweet and down-right entertaining. In a way this book could do no wrong.
I like that this was from a different perspective. An older couple who have already found love and missed they chance.
This tugged at my heartstrings as Rosie has to deal with grief and maintaining family dynamics all while rediscovering her first love. Rosie was a vibrant, cheeky and had brilliant one liners. She proves that you are only as young as you feel.
I like that this is split into two parts, one part about 17 year old Rosie and Peter and the other part as their older self. It was great to discover their love for each other and how it had changed over the years.
We’ll Always Have Paris is proof you are never too old for love!
