    About this audiobook

    When Amy loses her best friend, Kat, to cancer, she knows their dream of a secret trip to Paris will never come true. Yet Kat's words haunt her, urging her to embark on the Paris trip alone and shed the dissatisfaction of her life in Phoenix.

    Little by little, Amy, grappling with a failing marriage and struggling with painful childhood memories, lets herself be swayed. Guided by Kat's bold voice, Amy sneaks off to Paris while her husband is away on a business trip. Once there, however, she finds that her problems have come right along with her.

    Through her adventures, laced with luscious descriptions of food and Paris, Amy learns that often in life, love, and friendship, nothing is exactly as it seems. Will Amy choose the life she's discovered in Paris or decide to revive the one she left behind?

      Now The Leaves Are Falling Fast

      I watched my wife leave our neighbor’s house, her empty hands shoved deep in the pockets of her red anorak. She came inside through our carport. I met her in our kitchen. “Beverly was really happy for the soup,” she said. “Honestly, it was a little s

      The Paris Effect was a good read. She is all about diet rules, until her friend dies and she takes a trip that she was planning with her friend before she got sick. She ditches her diet rules, and has a little fun along the way! I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

      I truly enjoyed this story. I won a free kindle book as a giveaway through Goodreads. I was expecting light reading and although it was to a degree, it included adventure, self awareness, love, loss and sadness. There was never a dull moment and many surprises along the way. I can't wait to read the sequel Paris Ever After.

      I received a copy of The Paris Effect in a giveaway from Library Thing. I found the book a bit off-putting at first - the main character, Amy, is obsessed with food rules, and she wasn't particularly likable. However, given the fact that Amy's best friend had just died three weeks prior to the opening of the book (after a long bout with cancer), and Amy was unemployed, living with a perfectionist of a husband, and ambivalent about starting a family, I decided to give her a chance and keep reading. The book got better, taking a few surprising detours along the way!Amy decides to follow through on "The Plan," which was a plan formulated by her and her late best friend Kat to sneak off to Paris. She has a number of experiences during her trip which force her to leave her comfort zone & really think about what she wants from her life and her relationships.Overall I enjoyed the book - it was gratifying to see Amy break out of her rut, learn from her experiences, and take control of her life. It definitely makes sense that Burns is planning a sequel - it seems that Amy is just coming into her own in the last few chapters.The 3.5 star review reflects the fact that this book is definitely BETTER than okay, but not really a four-star read for me.

      I was asked to review by Librarything.com Loved this the descriptions of Paris accurate the author has either done their homework or been there. The character Amy has an obsession with diets and Paris know the two very well. Lovely book - we all have had experiences of dramatic weight loss for me when my world was ripped apart. Well written book, fast paced - and so very different but hey that is what I loved about it.A great read for the sunbed

      William and Amy are made for each other. William is ruled by numbers. Amy is ruled by her diet rules. When her best friend Kat dies, she decides to take the trip to Paris the two had been planning during Kat's illness. There she finally breaks some rules and realizes there is more to life than following rules. I was going to throw the book at the wall if I had to hear more about Amy's diet rules. They were boring and messing up her life. I loved it when, in Paris, nothing went as she expected. She lived spontaneously and found out it was fun. Though Kat was dead, her presence was felt throughout the book. She was able to persuade Amy to go to Paris. William was a jerk. He was so similar to Amy it was hard to tell them apart. The book ending much better than it began and I am looking forward to the sequel.
