Publisher's summary
Where Moulin Rouge meets The Paris Wife lies The Paris Apartment, a rich and colorful work by debut author Michelle Gable. When her boss tells her about the discoveries in a cramped, decrepit apartment in the ninth arrondissement, Sotheby' s continental furniture specialist April Vaught does not hear "dust" or "rats" or "shuttered for 70 years". She hears Paris. She hears escape. She cannot board the plane fast enough.
When she arrives, April quickly learns the apartment is more than just some rich hoarder' s repository. Beneath the dust and cobwebs and stale perfumed air is a literal goldmine - and not just in terms of actual dollars. First, there' s a portrait painted by one of the masters of the Belle Epoque. Then there are letters and diaries and a thousand indications the woman who lived there was more than a renowned courtesan with enviable décolletage. Suddenly it's no longer about the bureau plats and Louis-style armchairs that will fetch millions at auction. It' s about a life.
Two lives, actually. With the help of a salty Parisian solicitor and hundreds of private documents, April tries to uncover the secrets buried in the apartment. As she digs her fingers into one woman' s life, April can' t help but take a deeper look into her own. When two things she left bubbling back in the states begin to boil over, the problems she thought she had suddenly look quaint, more ancient than the shuttered flat. April starts to wonder if in this apartment, in this life, she' ll ever find what she' s looking for.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Not Bad Overall
There are two parallel stories that touch each other. I didn’t care for the 19th century diaries because I didn’t find the characters likable. The present day story is not bad. As others have said, the narrator’s fake French accent was annoying, but not so bad as to make me abandon the book.

Lovely, but disappointing to me.
April stayed with her husband who is mostly absent from the book, except to be an asshole. It is unrealistic that the protagonist should find herself in love with a man one day and then not in love a few days later. It cheapened the emotions that the author took 60 chapters to build. Disappointing.

At first it was hard to capture,but it all came
At first it was hard to capture but it all came out and it was definitely not what I was expecting. I won't give it away but, I do love the storyline and content. It is definitely worth the credit. It does leave you lacking for more storyline with these characters that is now established. Come on Novel #2, there is more story to tell.

Story of relationships past and present
Slow beginning but got better as the character development unfolded. I particularly liked the relationship between Luke and April. It had sizzle and wit. Luke, as a handsome Frenchman, could of been a shallow character but the author bucked the stereotype and gave him a witty and caring personality. April's story is set in the present but alternates with the woman who lived in the apartment a hundred years earlier. Both stories were engaging and worth the read.

Great read unless you've had a cheating husband.
The author makes the main character incredibly relatable. The story will draw you in and keep you there until the last word spoken. Again, my warning, if you've had a cheating husband, you may revert to some past anger as you listen to the main character navigate through her struggling marriage. Otherwise, enjoy this easy and entertaining read.

Couldn't stand voice

What was most disappointing about Michelle Gable’s story?
I wish it was narrated by someone else, the voice was not easy to listen to.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
sounded high class bitch who think she speaks french.
