Three women take the same Eurostar to Paris for a girls' trip, but take separate trains back. What happened that weekend? A thought-provoking and gripping novel about trying to hold on to friendships when you start to grow apart. Three best friends. A weekend away. And a whole lot of baggage. Alice, Nina and Jules have been best friends for twenty years. They met in Paris and return there once a year, to relive their youth, leave the troubles of home behind, and indulge in each other' s friendship and warmth. But this year, aged thirty-nine, the cracks in their relationships are starting to show. . . After their weekend together in Paris, the three women never speak again. Each claims the other two ghosted them. But is there more to the story? Praise for After Paris:' An insightful, keenly observed story about friendship and motherhood, the internal struggles we all face and our flaws and fallibility as humans. Gripping yet tender, it' s a thoughtful look at the truths we choose to face and those we turn away from. I think every reader will find a version of themselves somewhere in this book, and this is what Nicole Kennedy does so brilliantly' Holly Miller, author of What Might Have Been' A refreshing and authentic take on female friendship. Complex, flawed and so real, I loved spending time with these three women' Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City' Nicole Kennedy writes beautifully about female friendship, family dramas, relationships, parenting, and the city of Paris. Moving, funny, and hugely relatable' Andrea Mara, author of All Her Fault' A perfect holiday read, compulsively readable but also intriguing, thought-provoking and so good on female friendship' Laura Marshall, author of Friend RequestPraise for Nicole Kennedy:' Thought-provoking, fluid, vivid. . . and a reminder to us all that our inside lives rarely reflect what we show on the outside. I loved it' Lia Louis' I couldn' t put it down. . . Nicole Kennedy writes so brilliantly about the weird world we live in' Lucy Vine, author of Bad Choices
