I got this one because of the great cover and the reasonable price even though I had never read this author before.  Eliza Jane is a good writer and creates a good story that includes a sweet love story and a moral that not everything is as it seems.Zoey has a very tough life being the mother to her siblings as her father works a lot and her mother is unable to function correctly.  Her responsibilities keep her from sharing her life with others and she tries to exist in the back ground - invisible.  The one bright light in her future is her class trip to Paris for a week of freedom.Matt is the star football player, dating the head cheerleader and drives a great car.  He seems to have everything but he is tired of the charade called his life.  He is hoping the trip to Paris will allow him some time to himself and to stop the merry-go-round that is his life.  Having just broke-up with his cheating girlfriend, he is excited to concentrate on himself - until he starts hanging out with Zoey in Paris.Zoey and Matt find mutual solace in each other's presence in Paris and can relax from their hectic lives and just be themselves.  I laughed at their game of dirty words Scrabble and found their time in Paris romantic. Both found that their preconceived ideas of each other were so far off the truth that they started to have feelings for each other.  Unfortunately, they both have different ideas of where their relationship should go when they return home.I was frustrated by Zoey's insecurities about her home life and her inability to see that Matt was good for her, but I did like the overall story.Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again?  MaybeWould I recommend it to friends? Sure
