This has been such a beautiful, moving trilogy, and I’m a little sad to have reached the end. It’s like leaving behind good friends, I’ve come to know them so well. Ron is honoring Michael’s wishes, “exiling” himself to the heart of Paris, but Michael is rarely far from him, at least in spirit. Ambrosio did an excellent job of transporting the reader to Paris, right along Ron and Rhonda. You can see, heart, and feel the city around you. The story is one that will spark self-reflection, focusing on trying to find yourself in a world that has become so busy and tumultuous. Each character Ron meets during his personal journey is unique, and they all feel like real people, something Ambrosio has proven time and again is a strength of his. If you enjoy literary fiction with an epic personal journey woven through the pages, then you need to read this trilogy.
The novel, the last installment in this engrossing trilogy, takes readers to the heart of Paris, where the protagonist Ron, at his friend Michael's suggestion, sets out on a journey of self-exile. Ron's story develops with depth and resonance against the backdrop of the city's lively culture and passionate protests, providing a complex examination of identity, friendship, and the search for purpose.
Much like its predecessors, this novel makes me feel a variety of things, including laughter, anxiety, excitement, wonder, and loss. Ambrosio's skill in incorporating these emotions into the story is what gives the trilogy its unique quality. While there is room for improvement in the book, overall the story is heartwarming and well worth reading.
Ambrosio shows a wonderful capacity to add levels of intellectual insight and emotional depth to her storytelling throughout the story. Every page exudes a feeling of urgency and poignancy that drive readers to reflect on life's most important issues in tandem with the characters.

Excerpt As evening approached and Ron and Julia got ready, she suggested they call a taxi.Ron firmly said, “Not our last night in Paris together. We will walk through the streets, and I will hold your hand as we did on our first date. What a wonderful time that was.”The young couple approached the restaurant they ate at often when the family came into town. They didn't have to pay during these visits, which made the soaring prices much easier to manage.The owner moved them to the back where a wonderful table was set up for all the guests. Julia had written each of her friends a farewell note.They sat at the table waiting for their friends who slowly came into the restaurant one by one, and all had gifts for her. The wine flowed as well as the congratulations.
