The Paris Trip: A feel-good, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy
A wonderfully funny and romantic novel for 2024, from popular author Beth Good.
'I love Beth Good's quirky style!' - Katie Fforde, Sunday Times bestselling novelist
Schoolteacher Maeve is a self-confessed control freak. She needs an orderly life or she can't function. So when she stops to comfort a weeping Frenchwoman in Paris and ends up stranded without a passport, everything starts to unravel.
She's soon embroiled in the messy dynamics of the Remy family, with suspicious siblings, chaotic cousins and eccentric elders. Worse, infamous artist Leo Remy somehow persuades her - her, sensible Maeve! - to sit for a portrait.
But when her past collides with the present, and a shocking secret is uncovered, Maeve can't help wondering if Fate has trapped her in Paris for a reason. Is she brave enough to follow her heart?
* Escape to Paris with Maeve this summer... and fall in love.

About the author
Beth Good
36 books45 followersI write quirky, romantic fiction, mostly with a comic twist, sometimes a little magical too. My Cornish romance series set in Pethporro starts with WINTER WITHOUT YOU, then ALL SUMMER WITH YOU, concluding with A VERY CORNISH CHRISTMAS.
The wondrous bestselling author Katie Fforde has said of my books, 'I love Beth Good's quirky style! A thoroughly enjoyable read.'
My stories are always romantic, sweet to a little spicy, and tend to feature either gloriously sunny Cornish beaches or snowy festive scenes, with heroes and heroines falling over each other in a futile effort not to fall in love.
I have too many children and not enough money, so need all the readers I can get. If you love talking to authors in real time, please chat with me on Twitter at @BethGoodWriter ... I'm there most days!

Fun for a weekend but nothing special
I’m shocked by the number of misplaced and misspelled words in this book. I keep wondering if it was written in another language and translated to English because of the poor grammar.
It’s cute enough and has a happy ending, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to read it again.

This was a fun read! It reminded me a lot of the movie French Kiss.
