Ever read a book that made you fall in love with the person who wrote it AND an entire culture that is not your own (and you never had any leanings toward previously)? Me either, until I read this book. I admit, I was sort of pre-disposed to love it for several reasons. First, the author, Laura Florand, has an obssession with chocolate that rivals EVEN MINE. My husband (and anyone who has ever met me, really) will tell you that this is a pretty tall order. BUT - and I am extraordinarily jea...more

This book was absolutely hilarious. It's a true story about an American PhD student who is for one year in Paris and falls in love with a French man. In order to finish their studies they alternatively live in Paris and America and the author describes how they deal with the sheer insurmountable problems of each country's bureaucracy.

When I first started reading this book, I loved it. Fresh, funny, and fast-paced. Then about one-third of the way through, she succumbs to the guy's interest in her and agrees to marry him, and I said, "Whaaaa? This is chick-lit, that's supposed to be the end of the book." The rest of the story is their attempt to get married four times on two continents. There wasn't anything WRONG with it, but it didn't stand up to the first third. Also, no guy is as perfect as the love interest (who...more

recommends it for: Women with an interest in Paris and/or inter-cultural relationships
Well, I'm planning a trip to France, so I've been reading books set there. This is definitely Chick Lit, but I enjoyed it for the most part. It is a memoir, and the main character (author) is a little annoyingly neurotic at times.

I think I loved it because it was so unexpected. I thought it was going to be a pretty typical chick lit book. But it went deeper than that and brought in their families and cultures. It's a great ride.

I actually finished this a while ago. It is a fun, quick read. Also, for anyone who has been to France it is pretty accurate!
