3 stars 
 I had a challenging time getting into this book and be absorbed by the story. 
 The "one day" in Paris just didn't seem that great. And though there was some chemistry between the characters, it didn't charm me. I couldn't really get into it but I hung on and hoped that the story would pick up. 
 It did pick up a little as the story progressed. I enjoyed the last 2/3 of the book more than the first. Other than a few memorable things here and there, it just didn't move me. (view spoiler)[ It made me sad that she was falling into depression and had no one there for support. (hide spoiler)] 
 I did, however, enjoy seeing Allyson start to make things turn around for herself. If anything, this book made me care about her. (view spoiler)[So in the end, I wanted to her to find Willem. I would read the sequel simply because I want to find out what exactly happened with him, even though he wasn't very appealing to me. I think Allyson deserves to know what happened, no? (hide spoiler)] For that, I'm giving this 3 stars (1 more star than what I would initially give it).
