17yo Whitney Curry has just arrived in Paris for her senior year semester abroad to study theater. She has carefully created a color-coded map and a variety of lists outlining how she plans to see and experience Paris, but things don't start as planned. Her roommates are not interested in being friends, her assigned French tutor is grumpy, and her first time in the city on her own she gets lost. But slowly Whitney makes friends, falls in love, and starts to experience the real Paris without her map. Before she heads home, however, she has a few lessons to learn about love and life.

This was a fun romance in which Whitney learns a lot about herself during her first experience away from home. She falls in love with chocolate, Paris, and a great guy. It dragged a little in the middle but over all, a good read.

Whitney Curry and Thierry Magnon are black. Nora is white and Sophie is described as light brown.
