I did like the premise of a more realistic French woman than recent books describe. But, now I am glad I did not waste my time.

On a side note I have a friend from London and sometimes we'd get her stirred up we'd ask her her opinion about Parisians.

To some extent if someone only does positive reviews they lose their credibility a bit. I do really try to keep in mind that this is someone's work and that reading is completely subjective. What works for me may not work you and vice versa.

This will help others make informed decisions about the book.
