Confessions of a
Paris Party
Girl
by Vicki Lesage
Release Date: January 12. 2014
Valentine’s Day is the
holiday of love, and what’s more romantic than Paris? The City of Lights,
strolling along the Seine, toasting with a glass of Bordeaux
as the Eiffel Tower twinkles in the background.
But let’s get real for
a minute.
While that can happen in Paris, it usually doesn’t. Instead you’re
likely to be hit on by gross French guys (most of whom are married) or be stuck
waiting in some eternal “line” (if you can even call those meandering queues at
the check-out a line) on your way to get where you really want to be.
Life in Paris is a roller coaster
of ups and downs, so much so that I was able to fill a whole book about it.
Check it out below! Oh, and Joyeuse Saint
Valentin!

Wine, romance, and French
bureaucracy - the ups and downs of an American's life in Paris. This laugh-out-loud memoir is almost
too funny to be true!
Drinking too much bubbly. Meeting sappy Frenchmen who have girlfriends
or are creeps or both. Encountering problème
after problème with French
bureaucracy. When newly-single party girl Vicki moved to Paris, she was hoping to taste wine, stuff
her face with croissants, and maybe fall in love.
In her first book, this long-time blogger and semi-professional drinker
recounts the ups and downs of her life in Paris.
Full of sass, shamefully honest admissions, and situations that seem too absurd
to be true, Vicki makes you feel as if you're stumbling along the cobblestones
with her.
Will she find love? Will she learn to consume reasonable amounts of
alcohol? Will the French administration ever cut her a
break?
“Her writing brings the characters she meets to life, her friends,
boyfriends, fellow Metro travellers and French officials, and the stories she
tells are full of humour, even the truly frustrating ones.”
- Jaqui, French
Village Diaries
“Her struggles with French men, love, work and bureaucracy made me laugh
out loud, I could not put it down!”
- Sissi de Beauregard, Chick-lit
