After calling off her engagement, Mira escapes on an all-expense paid business trip to Paris. Despite the delicious food and flowing wine, she can’t forget the ache of leaving her fiancé behind or the fact that she’s just blown up her personal life. And messing up simply isn’t Mira.
She’s used to being in control. Meticulously planning. But now she’s at the mercy of the travel gods, and they are not acting in her favor. Subways are missed. Trains don’t run. Flights are overbooked. And by the time she arrives at the airport to go home, there are no new flights to NYC until the next day. The worst part? She’s now stuck in Paris for twenty-four hours with her arrogant and insufferable co-worker Jake whose constant flirting and annoying optimism is more than she can handle.
But as they spend the next twenty-four hours in Paris, exploring the city in all its beauty, Mira realizes that she and Jake have more in common than they thought, and he may turn out to be the best thing she discovers in the City of Love.

Having read and enjoyed Romi Moondi's writing for years, I was excited to read 24 Hours in Paris. I won an advance copy from the author and sat down with it as soon as it arrived. The highest praise I can give any book is that I read it straight through and don't put it aside for something else. I couldn't stop reading 24 Hours in Paris and it didn't disappoint! The novel both is both a love letter to Paris (the food, the sights, the food!) and it pays homage to the "Before" movies. Mira was relatable - someone with whom I would want to hang out - and I loved her smarts and snark. Jake was more than just the eye candy co-worker we meet early on and I enjoyed the Paris travelogue as we worked through Mira's bucket list as the 24 hours progressed. More, please!
