While this novel unfortunately was not my cup of tea, it does fit the 2021 reading challenge category of "a book from your TBR list you associate with a favorite person, place, or thing" perfectly: I associate it with a favorite person (my sister) because she gave it to me as a gift, and a favorite place (France) because, well, it's set in France, evidemment.

This was a fun book!!

Good, but not as good as Le Divorce.

Bad chick lit. Not fun. Meh. Not enough Parisianity, stupid "plot," and man, were the characters vacuous, irritating, self-absorbed, stupid... I really have nothing against "chick lit," but this? Yick. Maybe if it had more French in it. That wouldn't have fixed her *abysmal* prose, however, her constant switchings of POV (in the same paragraph, even). L'avoid!
