About this listen

'I'm telling you now: I'm never having another boyfriend - ever!'

Libby is on a man-fast: no more romance, no more cheating men, no more heartbreak. After all, she has her three best girlfriends and two cats to keep her company at night and her high-powered job at the National Aboriginal Gallery in Canberra to occupy her day - isn't that enough?

But when fate takes Libby to work in Paris at the Musée du Quai Branly, she's suddenly thrown out of her comfort zone and into a city full of culture, fashion and love. Surrounded by thousands of attentive men, nude poets, flirtatious baristas and smooth-tongued lotharios, romance has suddenly become a lot more tempting.

On top of it all, there's a chauvinist colleague at the Musée who challenges Libby's professional ability and diplomatic skills. Then there's Libby's new friend, Sorina, a young Roma gypsy, desperate to escape deportation.

Libby must protect her work record and her friend, but can she protect herself from a broken heart?

I’m loving the writing and the storytelling. I did not enjoy the narrator. She struggled with a French accent and the pronunciation of French words and that was painful to listen to. It spoiled a lovely story

Love

Another great story with incredible insight into contemporary First Australian women set amongst a culture we need to learn more about. Strong, driven role models with great characters, warm friendships with a knowledgeable setting within the modern art world. The story is enhanced even more by the narration.

This book kept me interested and hanging most of the way through. I loved the story, I felt like I was with her every step of the way, talked about places I had been to and knew well. I loved the way the narrator spoke (Miah Madden) I wanted to meet her and go hang out with her.

I'm listening to it again now. I love the art work on the cover, very fitting for the story indeed.

Absolutely love it!

This was a great read! The only thing I didn't like was how the main character would overreact and no one pulled her up for it, seemed a bit narcissistic. Otherwise the story was super fun, especially when travel is limited at the moment 😊

Fun and light-hearted
