I didn't expect to enjoy this YA novel, but I was most pleasantly surprised. I'd expected a run-of-the-mill romance, cute love at first sight in Paris, yadda yadda yadda. Instead, the love story is a framework for an engaging look at a young woman's journey of self-discovery, as she moves from heartbreak to strength to freedom. By the end, I was thoroughly wrapped up in the story and couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more by this author.
