What Is Paris Is Always a Good Idea about?

Chelsea Martin is a career-driven nonprofit executive who travels to Paris to secure a major donor, and she soon realizes that her rival-turned-ally, Jason Knightly, is joining her. During her time in Paris, Chelsea receives an unexpected message from her late mother, sending her on a journey to reconnect with three loves she left behind in Europe. In addition to Paris, this life-changing adventure takes Chelsea to Ireland and Spain, as she looks back at her life and past romances while trying to move forward.
