The official authorized companion to the much-loved Netflix show
Emily in Paris. Paris, J'Adore! is Emily Cooper's diary about her
life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to
starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the
thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her
new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace
etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined
reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest
chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like
why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second
floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by,
Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre
for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But
more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and
how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this
beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook
to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where
to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in
Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections: 1. Emily's
Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers -
from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the
beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a
Parisian; 2. Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and
break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the
most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower
twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in
love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing
along to; 3. Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the
real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquee de Paris to the Atelier
des Lumieres, and from small independent French cinemas to
delightful neighbourhood restaurants; 4. Emily's Workplace Paris -
how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch
and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee
Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media; 5.
Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the
Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the
opulence of the Chateau de Versailles. Packed with four-colour
photographs, exquisite illustrations and beautiful shots of Paris,
Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift book for all the fans of
the show.

change lives' - Tracey Cox 'Possibly the best book on relationships
I have ever read' - Jess Megan
_____________________________________________________________ Have
you ever been on a disastrous date and vowed never to use apps
again? Are you blaming yourself for the things going wrong in your
love life? Do you always seem to become attached to people who
treat you badly? The sad truth is that when it comes to modern
dating, there are a whole host of challenges and hurdles to
overcome. From ghosting and negging to gaslighting and abuse, this
book teaches you what to look out for, to make sure that you're not
accidentally dating men with toxic traits who secretly hate women,
or who just want to have sex and run. It will empower you to use
your voice and walk away if you spot warning signs in
relationships, by highlighting the red flags and the types of
fuckboy that you might run into when dating, as well as the green
flags and signs that indicate a healthy partnership. This is not a
dating book that promises to find you a person to love; instead, it
will help you spot the troublesome ones before it is too late. It
will help you to recognise that you possess spectacular buff ting
energy and that it's perfectly possible to be contentedly single.
Most importantly, this book will give you the power to BLOCK,
DELETE and MOVE ON with living your best life.
