In Paris with You A Novel Clémentine Beauvais Books

Gosh, I really expected to love this book. I kept hearing good things about it. It just left me so confused though. I can’t get past the fact that it was narrated like a play by some character that was never given a name. It didn’t seem to be anyone’s conscience because I think both of the main characters were connected to it. And sometimes it was hard to tell who “me” was in the story. When someone was talking and they said “me” was it the mystery narrator or one of the characters?

I found the writing style unique. It was basically written like a poem or prose. It was long and without punctuation. It was unique but not necessarily something I loved.

About the characters, Tatiana and Eugene met when she was 14 and he was 17. She fell in love with him and he broke her heart by declaring that they could never be together.
Of course that makes sense given their age difference but you can tell that it was more about him being jaded than his age. He thought he knew the way the world worked and that Tatiana was foolish for believing in love.

They meet again ten years later and they are given a second chance. And this time, Eugene pursues Tatiana. I definitely appreciated the karma there, that suddenly he couldn’t stop thinking about her.

That said, I always liked Tatiana more than Eugene. He’s not the most likable guy in the world.

I got to read an early e book edition from NetGalley. I would call this book unique but I wouldn’t say I understood it.

In Paris with You A Novel Clémentine Beauvais Books Reviews

Who said narrative rhyming poetry is dead? Apparently, this classical tradition is alive and well... in France… as this French best-seller gets an English translation (major kudos to the translator this cannot have been easy), telling the story of teens Eugene and Tatiana, who meet ten years later on a train and explore what might have been. For anyone not well versed (sorry) in the poetical form, reading the book might be a small adjustment. Just think of it as Dr. Seuss, but for grownups, and with a total dick of a leading man. (So, The Cat in the Hat for grownups.) For all its flaws – the dickish Eugene being the worst of them – this book is nevertheless an incredible accomplishment, and there is enough wit, beauty and elegant turn of phrase to keep you reading long into the night. And the ending? It is very, very French. Indeed, the whole book is very possibly one of the Frenchest things you will read this year—in the best kind of way. – Rachel Hyland

This review appears in Romantic Intentions Quarterly #4.
What if fate brought you and the one-you-threw-away back together, a decade after that bad decision?

Eugene and Tatiana were serendipitously reunited on the Metro after ten years apart. The meeting reawakened old feelings for both - some good, some bad. Beauvais beautifully explored these emotions, as well as inviting us back to the summer they spent together.

I thought the way Beauvais used verse to tell the story had a great impact on the delivery, and quickly created a blanket of emotions over me. The writing was lovely and lyrical, and I was impressed with how well she captured and created certain feelings for me.

One of my favorite characters was Lesky. He was the embodiment of all those heightened teen feelings you have. A teen Tatiana complemented him quite well, though she brought more of a youthful, starry-eyed exuberance to the tale.

This book was listed under YA, but for me, it's an adult novel. There are flashbacks to that summer, when the characters were 14 and 17, but the summer was viewed and the commentary attached was from that of adults.

It was about second chances and taking chances. It's about realizing you were young and wrong and made mistakes. It's about getting an opportunity to fix those mistakes, and it made me both smile and cry.

Though I was a little disappointed with the ending, I did enjoy the journey I took with Eugene and Tatiana, and I can imagine what came next.
In Paris with You is a translated story, it was originally published in French back in 2016 and now is coming to us all in English next year!

Yes, I said next year and I happen to have read this story already because I got an E-ARC thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press.

This story was so compelling and at times confusing, that you just want to keep reading until you understand what's happening and it breaks your heart and then... ugh! There are just so many emotions when it comes to this book!

In Paris With You is such a sweet, yet bizarre story.

This story follows Eugene and Tatiana in 2016 and 2006. Yes, two different decades and two different beings.

We get the story through a narrator who sometimes feels like someone watching the story as a bystander and other times it feels like a friend of both Eugene and Tatiana and the narration feels like a conversation, like Eugene or Tatiana are talking to this narrator person and just telling this being what is happening in their lives, back in 2006 and 2016.

Sort of a good weird thing, because is a new format for me, I'm used to reading stories told by the main character's point of view or a narrator, but this narrator is the kind of narrator that feels like is also living what the characters are living. Such a weird concept, yet a fantastic one.

The story follows Eugene and Tatiana and it starts when they see each other after ten years while Eugene is on his way to a funeral and Tatiana is on her way to the library. They instantly recognize each other and both start recalling what when wrong ten years ago and that is when we also get the events that transpired in the summer of 2006 when they first met.

We learn how Eugene came to meet Tatiana and how nothing matter to him and how the complete opposite was true for Tatiana. She fell for Eugene and every single little thing matter to her.

We also get to met Tatiana's sister Olga, and Eugene's friend who happens to be Olga's boyfriend Lensky. Every relationship in this story is weird and sort of codependent, Lensky is madly in love with Olga and there is this kind of dependency he's got toward the idea of their love that ultimately ends horribly.

Then there is Eugene's dependency on Lensky and the sisters. He doesn't want to admit that he cares about anything and that he has any emotions at all, but deep down we can tell that he cares and though he sort of sabotages anything and everything that might bring him any sort of happiness, he is still dependent of that facade.

Then we have Tatiana who just feels everything and is hopeful about everything in the world until Eugene breaks her heart, she doesn't become an angry person per say, but she does realize that love is not what her novels make it out to be and that having feelings for someone else is a bit more complicated.

In Paris With You takes us through the painful memories of two individuals that have been deeply hurt by their past and the way they behavided and dealt with tragedy.

Eugine and Tatiana take us through their history and to what could become their future in this amazing story that you won't want to miss.

Beware though, this book does not follow the normal form of most books, it is read in verse almost and though there are a lot of details in the story, while reading it you still feel like you might be missing some information, just because it is not filled with a lot of description of location or even actions, it is filled with description of feelings and only telling you what you need to know to know where the characters are and what is happening around them.

Like I said before, it is a complicated story to get into, but it is something completely worth reading.

Love, tragedy and second chances is what this story is all about and it literally ends in one of the most open and hopeful ways that the story just toward the end really reflects reality and that is what made me love it this story just the way it is.
