I read this half a century ago, but I do remember understanding that it was unlike anything I had read before. Isn't it just the best to find "new" stories and authors to love?

[@1book1review]

yes, and probably the reason I so rarely read new releases - there are too many older books I still haven't read!

[@BLUENECK]

Great review! I enjoyed it’s character driven writing, while still following the classic 3 act structure underneath (punctuated by their 2 nights out on the town) - before Anne’s conquer of Raymond - Life Under Anne - Cecile’s plot to conquer Anne

[@BLUENECK]

I also enjoyed Cecile’s introspection and constant change of emotion, a hallmark of her age. The end wasn’t pleasant, but we knew this from the title and opening.

[@1book1review]

Now that you mention it, yes that was enjoyable.

OK, gotta read it! Sounds right up my alley. Apparently she wrote it when she was 18(!). btw, I read over half of murderbot#1 last night ... you were right (as always!).

[@1book1review]

Yes :D To be fair I got so many people to pick it up and since noone disliked it I knew you would to :)

[@Fortheloveofclassics]

I finished reading the book yesterday. This was a great review 👍

[@1book1review]

Thank you. Hope you liked the book as well.

[@Leila-ui2ci]

I just finished this book and i loved it as well. you could feel by the retrospective writing that something was to happen at the end of the book and i loved this tension

[@1book1review]

Yes, a nice level of suspense that wasn't at the center but hovering in the background. I liked that, too.

[@louloureads3953]

I bought this a couple of months ago but haven’t picked it up yet - now I think I will make it my next book. I’m really looking forward to it :-)

[@1book1review]

Let me know what you think of the book once read.

[@lorenzoperrone760]

I think this book is very misunderstood.

[@1book1review]

In what way?

[@lorenzoperrone760]

@@1book1review I've seen reviews mentioning how the characters lacked development and were annoying. I think they missed the whole point of the book, how it's narrated in a certain way. 🙂

[@1book1review]

@@lorenzoperrone760 Ah yes, thanks for elaborating.

[@ofbooksandtrees]

I've heard such mixed things on this one. yet I had no idea what it was actually about.. Sounds like something I might really like!

[@1book1review]

Same, I only knew the title, but nothing else and it was such a wonderful surprise how much I ended up liking it.

[@starvedoldsoul757]

I loved your review. Françoise Sagan wrote this book when she was 19! She was an incredible talent. I also loved her other book Dear Sarah Bernhardt.

[@1book1review]

I need to pick up more by her in the future.

[@neina4484]

[@1book1review]

Oh you're welcome.

[@thekaleidoscopesky6374]

[@1book1review]

Thank you.

[@arevkirokian26]

is this an easy read!?

[@1book1review]

I think so. It's rather short and hard to put down.
