Mia is an English actress who has fled from her cheating husband and wants to try and put her life back together on her own. She's staying with her friend in Paris. She ends up messing around on a dating site and makes a profile.
Paul is an American who moved to Paris after his first book was published. Now, his books are big in Korea, and he has a long-distance "relationship" with his translator that he sees twice a year. When Paul's friends visit from America, they set him up a profile on the same website and then a blind date with Mia - without his knowledge.
I put this one down about 1/3 of the way through. There was some language in there, but that wasn't why I stopped reading. I disliked these characters. Paul was just plain boring, and Mia was whiny and her thought process was annoying.
I also wasn't a fan of the writing style. I dislike when a character is introduced and the author feels a need to devote paragraphs to their backstory. It disrupts the flow of the story, and most times, these introductions aren't relevant to the actual story. In addition, the dialogue would run on so long without a break that sometimes I would lose track of who was actually talking.
I really need to stop feeling like I need to pick up one of the Kindle First books. They might be free, but that doesn't mean they're going to be something I enjoy. Major pass for me.
