This novel is set in Paris and follows lead character Aurélie who is a student doing an art project. She decides to throw a stone in a public place to hit a random person to spend a week with for her art project - it hits a baby. After a bit of explaining herself remarkably she is given the baby to look after for a whole unsupervised week. And the book follows that week where her world changes, as does that of the characters around her.
Also at this time an artist is in town presenting his remarkable work of art "Life".
So that is the plot but what the book really is about the characters, and the romance. The characters are well-formed. Some traits may be there for comic affect but that is fine by me. The book is pretty light-hearted throughout bar one moment with a gun. And there is a fair amount of romance in the novel too.
Thoroughly recommended.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed HERE.)
