"Looking for a book to take to the beach? Or headed to Paris for a summer vacay? Then pick up The Paris Widow for an entertaining read!<br/><br/>The Paris Widow is about a jet-setting couple who is vacationing across Europe until sudden tragedy disrupts their lives entirely. The story is told from two POVs (although it mostly centers on the FMC's POV) and different timelines.<br/><br/>The book definitely starts off with a captivating prologue that makes you wonder what's about to unfold. But for the most part, this is more of a slow burn than I expected. For a good portion of the book, there is a lot of "What's happening?" without getting any substantial answers until the second half of the book, and then all the reveals just start barreling out like a stampede.<br/><br/>Had the pacing been a little quicker/more consistent, it would've been closer to 4 stars. But with that being said, I really did enjoy the story. I think it would make for a great movie, especially since it takes place in so many beautiful European cities.<br/><br/>Special thanks to NetGalley and Park Row for sharing this digital ARC with me in exchange for my honest thoughts.<br/><br/>The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle is available now wherever books are sold."
