Paris for One & Other Stories by Jojo Moyes

Summary (via the book jacket)
Nell is twenty-six and has never been to Paris. She's never even been on a romantic weekend away - to anywhere - before. Traveling abroad isn't really her thing. But when Nell's boyfriend fails to show up for their mini-vacation, she has the chance to prove everyone - including herself - wrong. Alone in Paris, Nell finds a version of herself she never knew existed: independent and intrepid. Could this turn out to be the most adventurous weekend of her life?
In the eight other stories, Jojo Moyes gives us a cast of strong, relatable women in the midst of their everyday lives. In "Crocodile Shoes," a businesswoman's blossoming confidence emerges from a fateful locker-room mix-up. A desperate holiday shopper strikes up an unexpected friendship just in the nick of time in "The Christmas List." And in both "Love in the Afternoon" and "A Bird in the Hand," two couples dance around the trickiness of longtime marriage. 
In this irresistible new collection, readers will be whisked from elegant perfume shops to taxis to five-star hotel rooms and more. 

My Opinion
The title story, Paris for One, was the longest and the strongest.  As for the other stories, Between the Tweets was my favorite and the rest didn't seem to be as fleshed out.  It's almost like she put all her effort into Paris for One, decided it wasn't long enough to put out on its own (it's 151 pages, it would've been fine), and came up with a few other stories to add on. 

Rated squarely in the middle because it was fine while I was reading it and it was fine when it was over.
