First love: first heartbreak. First job: first nightmare boss. A
seductive coming-of-age tale set in the most romantic city on earth.
Fresh out of university and determined to dream big, Kate can hardly believe her luck when she lands a job as a ‘little-bit-of-everything’ to the world famous photo-journalist Lydia Schell. Better still, the job is in Paris, and her guide to the most romantic city on earth is the handsome Olivier. The Berlin Wall is about to come tumbling down, and the world feels full of possibility.
But the oh-so-charming Lydia turns out to be the boss from hell. The ‘little-bit-of-everything’ includes collecting under-the-counter diet pills and walking a flatulent dog round the rainy streets of the sixth arrondissement. And the gorgeous Olivier? He happens to be dating Lydia’s daughter…
As the two worlds of her disastrous job and exciting flirtation look set to collide, Kate is about to get a fast education in the French approach to having it all.

Whoopee! Another book set in France. I love the city and I am super duper excited to read Hilary Reyl's debut novel, Lessons in French. Though the book is set in the 1990s, I reckon it should be a really fabulous read! The blurb has reeled me in and I'm dying to read this! Lessons in French is out on 23rd May 2013.
Pre-order a copy now!
Oh what a PRETTY cover! I've been having a French craving recently too.
