Kenzie Williams feels like she has it all; wealth, friends, popularity and talent. But when her father tells her that he has declared bankruptcy, her whole world in New York City turns upside down. Her parents' solution while they sort through their financial and marital problems is to send Kenzie to live with her relatives in Paris . . . Idaho!
Feeling like she's been sentenced to three months in Hickville Prison, Kenzie arrives in Idaho feeling like a square peg, with name brand clothes, in a round, horribly podunk, hole.
Leaving everything she loves behind, Kenzie is forced to get up at the crack of dawn, do chores, and hang out with her cousin's loser friends. She feels like she's about to die until she meets Adam White, the town outcast, whose been accused of killing his best friend and is being blamed for some trouble that's been happening around town.
Not only is Adam the best-looking guy she's ever seen, but he's also the most fascinating guy she's ever met and Kenzie is determined to get to know him and find out his secret. But, the longer she stays in Paris, the more she realizes, Adam isn't the only one keeping secrets.

Summer in Paris is a YA Coming of Age/Romance novel, and therefore certainly not the type of book I normally read. But I was intrigued by the title and the back cover copy. And I think as an author it's a good thing for me to read different types of books. It keeps the saw sharp.I can say without hesitation that I really liked the book. The setting of the story is in Paris, Idaho and much of the action takes place around the small towns which line the shores of Bear Lake, a clear, ice-cold body of water which lies right on the Utah and Idaho border. In my opinion, Bear Lake is one of the prettiest places in the Mountain West region.
I have been there. I've gone swimming in the lake. I've had the raspberry shakes for which Bear Lake is famous. Michele's descriptions were spot on. So much so that I wish I could go right now and have one of those shakes.
I also really liked the characterizations in the book. In fact, because of the setting, and the laid-back wholesome lifestyle which is represented by the Williams family, the book made me feel a little homesick. My mother is a lot like Frankie Williams. I grew up on a small chunk of paradise in Cody, Wyoming. The property has a fish pond, a huge garden, lots of yard to care for... my parents even have chickens. But I digress...
Kenzie Williams, a spoiled and selfish teen at the beginning, blossoms into very nice young lady who is not afraid to work. I was very impressed by the transformation. In fact, I think this book would make a fantastic gift for any young person who feels... ENTITLED. My own teens are pretty good kids. But a little nudge toward working harder and appreciating what they have, definitely wouldn't hurt them at all. I plan on having them read the book. Sneaky, aren't I?
The book is fun. It's a clean read. And Michele is a very good writer. I highly recommend it!
DISCLAIMER: I received a PDF copy of this book from Valor Publishing, the same publisher who carries my novel. Since reading a PDF version of a novel on a computer is not easy on the eyes, I can honestly say that no bribes were taken in exchange for this review. FOLLOW-UP: On Tuesday, March 16th, Michelle joined me at my table where we signed books together, and my wife bought a copy. I want my daughters to read it. I think they will like it a lot.

Summer In Paris by Michele Ashman Bell
This new offering by Michele, and with a new publisher, hits a home run. Kenzie Williams has it all a carefree life in New York with lots of friends, wealth, and talent. She also seems to do things she knows aren't right. When her parents tell her they are losing everything, due to bankruptcy, Kenzie is even more upset, when her world goes topsy-turvy, by being sent to her Aunt & Uncle's in Paris, not the french place, but little hickville Paris, Idaho, for the summer. When she finds out her parents have separated, Kenzie feels her life is crumbling down around her.
When Kenzie first arrives in Paris, she is met at the airport by her cousin, Calvin, and when he gets stopped by a policeman for speeding, she wonders how much worse her summer could be. When she arrives at their sprawling ranch near Bear Lake, she is surprised by all the beauty of the mountains and the crystal clear lake. She feels put upon when she has to rise at dawn with the roosters, eat gross looking oatmeal, make her bed, pull weeds, gather eggs and hang sheets out to dry. She's not even used to eating breakfast. She comes to learn how to make bread and rolls.
When there are a rash of fires in the community, they accuse Adam White, a young man who mysteriously disappears when Kenzie first sees him. She becomes intrigued by his quiet and compassionate ways when he saves her from an accident near his mountain cabin during a storm. When it looks m ore and more like Adam is behind the fires, it takes Kenzie and Allison to thwart out the surprising and guilty person.
You can never go wrong with a Michele Ashman Bell novel. She knows her characters well and has a great sense of humor and adventure in her stories. I look forward to her upcoming new book in July, her sequel to A Modest Proposal in her Butterfly Box series.
