Modern Update of a Russian Classic

With You in Paris by Clementine Beauvais
Publication Date – January 8, 2019
🌟🌟🌟🌟


Told in verse, this retelling of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, tells the story of the relationship between Tatiana and Eugene as teenagers and a decade later as young adults.  Eugene is the best friend of Tatiana’s sister’s boyfriend who lives next door.  Tatiana falls in love with him but Eugene is selfishly bored and slightly obnoxious and rejects her advances.  I have not read Pushkin’s classic but am familiar with the story and I felt this was a fairly good modernization.  I will say that the title and the cover are really not indicative of what you are getting into, so don’t be fooled into thinking this is a light, contemporary romance.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
