Story begins
with Chrisna boarding a plane to Paris. And just how it begins, story slowly
tumbles along at the start, moving in a sluggish pace, building interest little
by little, before finally ascending to a high-flying leap.
Chrisna has
just gotten divorced, and she’s going to Paris to throw her ring off from the
Eifel Tower. So this trip was her “divorce present.” Cool! I thought the whole
idea of taking separate vacations as a “marital sabbatical” was an excellent
idea. Most people should try that.
“Never be afraid to be afraid of what
you‘re afraid of. Embrace the fear, and release the crazy.” (19)
But how much fun can you have in
Paris in five days? Chrisna is definitely about to find out.
Soulful, fun, and well-written, Lost in Chance is a story of taking
risks and living life. Certain parts lagged here and there, which slowed the
plot dramatically. I mean, if this was supposed to be a wild trip through the
Parisian streets, then it should’ve read in a fast, non-stop way. Instead we
spent too much time on trivial scenes detailing mundane tasks. Still, the
message was there.
Paris is definitely on my Must-Go list.
My rating: 3 stars
