If you didn't like Twilight's Bella, then you'll hate the main character in this book, Angela.
I picked it up while waiting at Paris' Airport, the only English chicklit book in their selection. I regret it.
Never before I had wished the main character would be better off rotten and failed. I didn't think she had any redeeming quality... unless a love of designer stuff and total clumsiness/ignorance are passable as redeeming.
This book was advertised as "If you like Sex and the City..." so maybe, just maybe if you like Sex and the City, you'd like this too. I love chicklits but I can't stand Sex and the City (the movie).
For me, the only good thing about this book was the setting. It has a decent portrayal of Paris, and it made me want to go there again.

I know I say it every time but I really really love this series. I am so emotionally invested in Angela and the central relationship in this series. I did not really quite how emotionally invested I was until this book. I laughed, I cried and felt like I was truly living along side Angela Clark. Very well written and I will be forcing this book on my friends.

Poor. Weak main character, and found the 'your bag was destroyed' scene quite pathetic.
Totally entertaining chick lit. A quick and funny read.
I didn't realize this book was a part of a series when I bought it (or at least I thought the series wasn't about the same characters) and only found out once I finished the book. But it was still quite easy to follow as the major plot points were mentioned there several times and I assume it was all there was to it.
But while the book was fairly easy to read, which I appreciated, I wouldn't mind a bit more drama and maybe some sort of plot twist or surprises. Also I'm glad this book didn't go too far in making the main character being a complete idiot as it happens in a lot of chick lits.
Overall I enjoyed this book, but I most likely won't be reading the rest of the series.

I actually fell in love with Paris
I have been to Paris a bunch of times, and I hate it. I've always found it cold, dirty, and over expensive. However Kelk writes Paris in a way that really makes me want to go back.
Angela is the embodiment of most women's worries and you can't help but love her. Alex needs a slap sometimes but blimey he's hot!

Het boek heb ik al vaker zien liggen in de winkel en in de bieb. Aangezien ik wel weer eens toe was aan een 'even tussen de soep en aardappelen door' boek heb ik het maar eens meegenomen. En ik ben blij dat ik het gedaan heb. Wat is het een leuk boek.
Het boek gaat over de Engelse Angela Clark. Zij woont in New York, waar ze werkt voor een tijdschrift. Ze heeft een leuke vriend, Alex, die een rasechte rockster is. Ze denken er zelfs over om te gaan samenwonen. Omdat Alex een optreden heeft in Parijs, besluiten ze eerst een weekendje samen naar Parijs te gaan. Maar voordat ze gaan, krijgt Angela een opdracht aangeboden bij modetijdschrift Belle. Omdat ze toch al naar Parijs gaat, krijgt ze de opdracht om een artikel te schrijven over de hippe kant van Parijs. Eenmaal in Parijs gaat het toch niet zoals gepland. Het begint al op het vliegveld, wanneer haar bagage zoek schijnt te zijn. Dan komt ook nog eens de ex van Alex opdraven, waar hij veel te veel tijd aan besteedt. En dan moet Angela ook nog eens een goed artikel schrijven. Ze krijgt daarbij wel enige hulp van een franse assistente, maar of ze daar nu zo blij mee moet zijn.
'Ik hou van Parijs' is het vervolg op de boeken 'Ik hou van Hollywood' en 'Ik hou van New York'. Eerlijk gezegd kwam ik daar pas achter toch ik halverwege het boek was. Het is dan ook niet zo heel erg als je de eerste twee delen niet hebt gelezen. Dit boek is goed afzonderlijk te lezen. Ik heb af en toe hardop moeten lachen. Het is een standaard chicklit en leest dus als een trein. Het heeft me er in ieder geval wel toe aangezet om deel 1 en 2 ook te gaan lezen. 'Ik hou van New York' heb ik ook inmiddels aangeschaft.
