About this listen

When newly-single party girl Vicki moves to Paris, she hopes to indulge in wine, stuff her face with croissants, and fall in love. It proves to be much more difficile than she imagined. In this laugh-out-loud memoir, this cheeky storyteller recounts the highs and lows of her life in the City of Light. Sassy and shamelessly honest, Vicki makes you feel as if you're right there in Paris stumbling along the cobblestones with her.

Will she find love? Will she learn to consume reasonable amounts of alcohol? Will French bureaucracy ever cut her a break?

Confessions of a Paris Party Girl is a delicious cocktail of the humor of Tina Fey, the candor of Amy Poehler, and the self-deprecating charm of Mindy Kaling. You'll feel as if you're chatting over a bottle of wine with your new best friend, one who drinks as much as Chelsea Handler and makes you laugh as much as Sophie Kinsella.

I will start by saying that this type of book is not my normal genre (more mysteries and thrillers), but having said this I quite enjoyed the book. I was impressed on how well the author coped with everything that was thrown out, especially having to handle all the French bureaucracy !!
The book was well narrated and the story keeps you engaged and entertained.

An enjoyable listen ‘a la francaise’

I recognise this is someone’s story, but the amount of descriptions about being drunk became monotonous. For someone living in Paris, then meeting their husband, landing their dream job, the story lacked any excitement of their new life. I expected more interest in Paris itself, more characterisations, more sense of place and events. Overall the book just lacked sparkle.

Not the most interesting of stories
