The Paris Apartment

Author: Lucy Foley

Genre: thriller, mystery, suspense

My ratings : 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐

My reviews

"The Paris Apartment" by Lucy Foley is a book that got me excited to read because of all the mixed reviews I heard about it. It was my first time reading a book with different characters telling the story, but I found it easy to keep track of who was who. The start was a bit slow, but it kept me interested. Jess goes to stay with her half-brother Ben in Paris, but when she gets there, he's nowhere to be found. The story unfolds with Jess trying to figure out what happened to him in the strange apartment building. I liked how the story switched between characters, and the short chapters made it easy to keep reading. Although it took a while to build up, it was a quick read. The setting of the apartment building was atmospheric, but I wished there was more of Paris in the story. While there were some surprising twists, I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending. Overall, it might appeal to many readers, but it wasn't exactly my cup of tea.

Favorite dialogue

★"It’s not about where you came from. What kind of shit might have happened to you in the past. It’s about who you are. What you do with the opportunities life presents to you."★

5 SECOND REVIEW

* started off strong, dragged for like 2/4 and then it picked up again

* tbh, the saving grace was the writing, Lucy's prose is quite enthralling and it hooks you in, no matter what

* petition for writers to pls pls not have many povs 🥲

* i get the reason for so many in this book, the way the narrative went made the distinct voices necessary, but for me personally... i hate multiple povs, okay? 😌

* in the end it was... not great not terrible 🫡

* 3/5⭐️

I'm currently reading The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley, I'm still half way through but this is honestly a great thriller didn't expect it to be this good, the character building isn't that great but who gives a shit when the suspense is carrying the whole book.

I honestly wish at the end of this I'd find out someone is making a movie about this.

the paris apartment by lucy foley (mystery thriller, adult fiction, suspense) my rating: ★★★☆☆ one-liner: bisexual boy toy moves to bourgeois building

In a beautiful old apartment block, deep in the backstreets of Paris, secrets are stirring behind every resident's door. The lonely wife. The party animal. The curtain-twitcher. The secret lover. The watchful caretaker. The unwanted guest. There was a murder here last night. Who holds the key to the mystery of apartment three?

I participated in a year long Buzzword Readathon for the first time, courtesy of the YouTube channel, BooksandLala (Instagram: @booksandlala). Readers can participate in the challenge however they want, and I decided to read at least one book each month that matched the theme. 

I just finished the reading challenge today and felt so accomplished with myself that I had to post about it. (Lala didn’t have a 2022 book cover template, so I took the one she made for 2023 and edited it a bit.) I also used the star emoji to indicate the books that I gave 4 or 5 stars, but I fairly enjoyed all 12 books.  Out of all 12 books, though, my top 3 favorites are Burn Our Bodies Down, My Dark Vanessa, and Marriage of a Thousand Lies.

I’m very much an erratic mood reader, so it was a new experience to pick my books based on a specific theme, but I enjoyed it. It got me to explore authors and titles that I wouldn’t have picked up otherwise and gave me the opportunity to finally read some books that have been on my TBR for awhile. I’m definitely planning on participating in 2023′s Buzzword challenge.

Toby and Adelaide talk about Rachel Skarsten and Anna Popplewell!

Toby’s description of Catherine’s lethal decorating skills is hilarious.😅 And then the rejection of Francis’ talents by Adelaide, in favor of Narcisse😲, as poor Toby’s pleas, listing Francis’ boat-making accomplishments & descriptions of a future house, are ignored just makes me love Regbo’s charming personality even more.😍😂

4.25/5

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley is not my usual taste but I quite enjoyed this one. It was a good introduction to the mystery genre but it wasn’t mind-bending.

Jess is the main character who goes to crash at her brother’s apartment in Paris, but he’s gone when she gets there. No one in the apartment seems to want to help.

Jess is a good character but is also a good person. I’m not always in the mood to read about bad people solving mysteries but Jess seems so nice :) I was half expecting the characters to seem a bit flat because of the book being a mystery, but I liked how the characters were fleshed out a lot. Even though it only happens in the span of three or four days, the backstory interactions between characters made them quite interesting. There’s no point where you know who is dangerous or not.

It suited my needs well because I wanted a good summer read and I got it
