About this audiobook
It all started with Paris. At the top of the Eiffel Tower, a young man proposes to his girlfriend. In that second, everything changes, not just for the happy couple, but for the family and friends awaiting their return in Ireland.
Leila's been nursing a broken heart since her husband suddenly left her, but she's determined to put on a brave face for the bride. Vonnie, a widow, has finally dared to let love back into her life, but a curveball arises that puts another's safety at risk. And Grace, a school principal, finds that her son's impending union brings her ex-husband back into her daily life, and starts to ponder past decisions and wonder if her divorce was in fact a mistake.
As these three women gather around the young couple to prepare for the wedding, they'll each have to address their own demons and find a way to move forward, whatever the cost.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really expected to be swept away by this book. First off, it starts in Paris with a proposal made atop the Eiffel Tower! Instead of the story being about the up-coming nuptials, it lolled on broken hearted, guilt-ridden, bitter women who are somehow related to the bride & groom-to-be. It Started With Paris, written by Cathy Kelley, was pleasant... if I'd wanted to read about every day, boring lives! It was dull and I found myself forgetting who people were, due to so many introduced! I wasn't sure who I was supposed to care about for a while. One time, I started an entire chapter over, just to make sure it was about who and what I thought it was about. I love romance and especially in a book that takes place in Europe, but this one was not my cup of tea. Other than the prologue, there wasn't much romance. It was nicely written and I loved imagining the shoppes and homes of Brookside and the areas named in the book, but as for the story, it just wasn't good. And though there is a lot of sadness, anger, frustration, cheating and divorcing going on, there was resolution, solutions and even a couple of happy couples in the end. It may have started with Paris, but it ended with my disappointment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In one of the most romantic opening chapters ever, a young couple gets engaged on the Eiffel Tower. Their families and friends back in Ireland are thrilled for them because these two have been in love since childhood. But as everyone prepares for their wedding they begin to examine their own love stories—some with those not-so-happy endings.There are a bunch of interesting characters, and it did take me awhile to connect who knew who, and where they fit in the story, but I really enjoyed the way their stories came together. I found myself thinking about my own relationship and those of my extended family, and felt many of the same emotions they were going through. This is a great read for anyone getting married, married, and divorced, or a single mother. I am giving It Started in Paris 4 stars.
