Picture Love (Good Bad Idea #6)

I stumbled across Ariella Zoelle's books on K.M. Neuhold's Facebook fanpage. She promises sweet, fluff, low/no angst, lots of humor, and no slow burn. This is her Good Bad Idea series (which kicks off her Sunnyside universe). The sixth book is titled "Picture Love." 

["Felix Murphy
My friend’s hot older brother agrees to play tour guide for me in Paris, so I know I’m in for the trip of a lifetime. The best part is that Arsène is a shameless flirt who gives my vivid imagination all kinds of naughty ideas. My lack of a filter always gets me into trouble, but at least this time it’s the fun kind.
Going home alone with a broken heart as a souvenir would suck. I’d rather return to America with a gorgeous French boyfriend instead.

Arsène Devereaux
When I agreed to babysit my younger brother’s American friend, he warned me not to break Felix’s heart. I never expected to be the one in danger of falling in love. But Felix is a cute and charming smart-ass, which is an irresistible combination to me.

If he offers to play tour guide next, I just might follow him across the ocean in search of a happily ever after."]

I've been waiting for this book since I started the series. Nothing is more fun than a best-friends-brother trope (okay, so a lot of tropes are my favorite--deal).

GOOD. GOD. D: This book was an arrow straight through my heart. Like, just straight through it, straight through me. Dead. I'm dead. The first chapter alone?!?! God, if I could erase my memory and reread that first chapter??? I'd be double dead (yes, that was a rhetorical question, and I answered it anyway).

For the first chapter alone, you need to read this book. For the french and the heart-eyes and jealousy of my 2020 Paris/London trip being canceled because of covid flaring again? Yes to all of that. Yes to the possessiveness and the minx-ness and the haughtiness and the pure joy and happily ever afters. 

And all of the talk of being an author and having a dirty mind and writing your dream? Yeah, universe, I hear you, okay? Very subtle.
