Fashion designer/painter Klein is fed up with her life. So, indulging in her childhood fantasy of moving to Paris, she finds herself on a plane with her deranged cat - and no real plan. After getting to Paris and without speaking the language, Klein lies and cheats her way to get a fabulous apartment with hardly any furniture.

Klein's main goal is to settle down with a gorgeous man and have many French babies. She meets the English-language- challenged Gilles, Chef Nico, the gorgeous Le Creep Alexandre and the famous ex-boyfriend Thierry. Each man helps her to find friends and shows her the beautiful landscapes of France.

Along with her manhunt, Klein focuses on her painting and displays one in a gallery. She learns a new medium and somehow, during her two years in Paris, she finally finds her place and realizes that men aren't necessary, but they are good company.

This is a great story of love and adversity and shows that everyone should follow his or her dreams. Though Klein goes through many hardships, her story always seems believable. Ms. Lobe's descriptions of Paris made me want to drop everything and live just like Klein. I enjoyed how this book was set up with a look at Klein's relationships. This is a great novel with a lot of heart.
