Paris My Sweet
I've recently finished the book Paris My Sweet. This is an autobiography about Amy Thomas, the author. It focuses on her decision of leaving her hometown, New York City, to live in her dream city, Paris. When she's offered to leave Manhattan to write ads for Louis Vuitton in Paris, she faces hard choices in this switch. Although she has always absolutely loved everything French, including pastries and the wonderful difference cultures between NYC and Paris, she also loves her hometown, and she doesn't want to turn her back on it. This book really showed me that there's always two sides to every situation in life. I learned how by exploring different places in the world, you can find who you truly are and what is important to you in life. I recommend this book to anyone. Amy Thomas's passion for life is incredible, and makes you want to keep reading about her adventurous journeys between Manhattan and Paris.

It would be really hard to choose between living in New York vs. living in Paris! It sounds like it really describes how you have to make decisions by weighing out the pros and cons of each options
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really cool because I'm researching about Louis Vuitton for a french project right now. It would be interesting to read about working for ads for Louis Vuitton. Sounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a book that I would love. I agree with the main character that it would be really hard to choose between two places that you are attatched to and love. I think it's really interesting how there are sort of two sides to this book.
