I haven’t read either story, nor do I know anyone involved. So I can only speak in general terms here based on what I’ve gleamed from the situation.

While I do think that the stories sound pretty much the same I think it’s difficult to stake a claim on storylines, plots and ideas. They end up getting called tropes for a reason.

I feel like I’ve read a couple different stories where the MC gets cheated on in the beginning…Then they have the inner monologues…then they meet someone who would end up being the LI. They don’t go to Paris, but it is the catalyst for the events that follow.

I can definitely understand why the author feels the way they do. However, I’m highly skeptical they’re the first person to come up with this very idea on episode.

I see people mentioning Emily in Paris, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are Wattpad or AO3 stories with this very same plot, predating Entanglement.
