Maybe not what you're looking for, but I love The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion. Takes place in London, and there's stint in Derbyshire. 19th century diary format, with wit and literary quotations.

My Oxford Year

I loved this too

I just started Guncle Abroad. Set, so far, in London and Italy (with mostly American characters)

I loved You Are Here by David Nicholls. It's about a man and a woman who meet on a walking trip in the English countryside.

It’s a memoir, and from 2009, but “I’ll Never Be French (no matter what I do)” by Mark Greenside was an enjoyable read about moving to Brittany despite knowing nothing about the language or culture.

I really liked A Year in the Merde (set in Paris, clearly.) Really funny.

A Year in Provence Peter Mayle and the sequel, Toujours Provence.

Kevin Kwans newest (?) book is partially set in England btw! Main characters are named Rufus and Eden. Actually a fun remake of Trollope’s Dr Thorne

I like the Scottish bookshop series by Jenny Colgan

I also enjoy all books by Kate Morton, she tends to set hers in castles and historic houses in the UK.

A fun romance set in Paris is Anna and the French Kiss.

There are a bunch set in Paris and France. Google novels set in Paris.

But CRA is so much about getting a peek into an insider world. A Roman a clef.

Maybe you'd like Bringing Home the Birkin. Starts in Barcelona and then he flies all over Europe.

The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle

Fredrick Bachman books are fun. I like Sophie Cousens but they are romance.

Hi! Please help recommend a book for me. I'm looking for a fun book you know sort of like the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, but that takes place in Europe. Thank you!
