Title: Jacqueline in Paris
Author: Ann Mah
Pages: 352
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Thoughts:
This book was a lovely, historical fiction/romance! It is loosely based on Jacqueline Bouvier’s time that she spent in France (as well as other parts in Europe) during her junior year in college in 1949/1950.
This book truly took me back in time and while at times it was hard to keep up with some of the French names of places she went or people she encountered, it was a great story beneath it all! It was very moving - especially when Jacqueline visited all of the places of destruction from the war (the concentration camp for example).
I really enjoyed learning more about her life when she was in Paris and how it helped mold the person she became. The people that she met and the bonds that lasted over the years were endearing. I absolutely loved her host family and the friendship that she had with Claude!
Obviously I know how her life turned out but I was really rooting for the romance between Jacqueline and Jack! The romance that they shared was lovely (minus the secrets)...I wish she had the opportunity to live the future she dreamed of with him! I could feel Jacqueline’s happiness and heartache in this novel!
If you are a Jackie O. fan or love historical Paris as a setting, I definitely recommend this book!
