can‘t believe it was my final read for #12Littens12Books! I really enjoyed reading it because the 18 snippets into rich white french bourgeoisie were so well written you got swept along by the skill alone. This is obviously destined to be adapted to screen. Also: do not read if you‘re planning on getting married soon. Ending up as unhappy, frustrated, and unlikeable as ANY of these 18 characters would be my biggest fear for silver- and old age!
