Book Review: Sawyer

 

International Bestseller Ava Miles delivers another flirty and feel good romantic comedy à la Emily in Paris and Friends about a struggling artist who finds confidence—and love—with the help of his found family.

There has only ever been one thing Dr. Sawyer Jackson to live in Paris and be an artist. But he bombed on his first brave attempt as an awkward youth with big dreams—a fact his parents remind him of every chance they get. Pushed by their fiery ambitions, he teaches instead, living a half-life as an art professor.

Until he’s offered a second chance to return to Paris and realize his dreams. Clutching a paintbrush and a dream, he returns to the City of Light hoping to turn this love/hate relationship around.

It’s absolutely wonderful—in his atelier surrounded by canvases, he’s living his best life.

It’s absolute hell—he can’t drown out his parents’ criticism that he’s not good enough, despite how much his roommates assure him.

And then there’s this girl… She loves that he’s a throwback to another time with his love for old books, romantic gestures, and linen handkerchiefs. Even better, she’s in the art world and knows good work. She says she believes in him, but will she still if he doesn’t make it? Is this happily ever after, or just another prelude to heartbreak?

But this is Paris, and if there were ever a place for a miracle, it’d be here.

Reinvention, rediscovery, and romance… Fall in love with THE PARIS ROOMMATES.
The good-girl baker Thea Rogers.
The restless dreamer Dean Harris.
The driven fashion writer Brooke Adams.
The charismatic professor Dr. Sawyer Jackson.
The rebel Chef Madison Garcia.
The disillusioned golden boy restaurateur Kyle Taylor.

My Review

Each time I get to come back and visit with the Paris Roommates, I fall even harder in love with them all. It is a rare thing in today's world to have such close friends. To be honest, they are more than friends, as they are more family. 

It is not more evident than in this book with Sawyer and his parents. They are unsupportive. I felt for Sawyer but with his friends he was able to find that inner strength and stand up to his parents and pursue what truly makes him happy. 

The moment that Thea and Sawyer shared about their families was very touching. These two were not really that different in what they were dealing with. 

I loved every moment of this book. Sawyer is a true artist in my mind and deserves all the accolades he received. Ava, you and the Paris Roommates have my heart forever. This book is a must read. I would give it more than five stars if I could.
