" I have enjoyed other books by Diane Johnson (Le Divorce). I love the integration of French language into the story. Amy, the American who has made her money from the dot com industry finds herself embroiled in difficult life situations for which she is a suspect. I am curious to see how Diane manipulates the story. "

" one of the only books i've never finished. it was boring and didn't seem like anything was happening. "

Alexia | 2/5/2014
" it's no le divorce - but it was charming in a sappy chick lit kind of way. "
-




Bookshop | 2/4/2014
" A pleasant beach read: simple storyline with engaging pace throughout. I was initially attracted by the illustration, as with all D. Johnson's books. "
-




Rae | 2/3/2014
" I didn't enjoy this as much as Le Divorce or Le Marriage but if you enjoyed either of these you will not be wasting you time here. "
-




Sharon | 1/22/2014
" This was my least favorite of the three Paris-based books that she wrote. I'm just not a fan of affair stories. I don't care how debonair and French the guy is - if he's married, he's off limits. Johnson does give a wonderful vision of Paris, though, so I cut her some slack. "

" A great read for the homeward bound leg of a business trip! Just for fun. "

patience | 1/20/2014
" Diane Johnson is kind of like a modern-day Jane Austen. Very clever observations of relationships. Plus, it's in Paris, which is always wonderful. "

Laura Spencer | 1/19/2014
" horrible book but i have to finish it. "

Lisa Currier | 1/17/2014
" The last her "L'" books. I felt that this was the best of the group, but not great. The characters were a little more engaging this time around, and the story moved faster. But they are all total fluff reading! "

Judith | 1/12/2014
" I didn't enjoy this as much as the other Johnson book that I read,k Persian Nights. A little slow, and not much happening. Disappointing. "
-




Anita | 12/30/2013
" Another great novel by Diane Johnson. A mix of cultures, romance, and insights into French and American culture. She has a style all her own. "
-




Lynne | 11/23/2013
" recommended only if you've read Le Divorce and Le Mariage; otherwise skip it. "
-




Maureen Miller | 11/20/2013
" Interesting book but tends to be a bit too introspective. "
-




Lizzie | 11/13/2013
" Maybe my favorite Johnson novel. "
-




Jbowman | 10/10/2013
" Similar in theme to other books by Johnson (tension between Americans and members of other cultures). I do like how she mines the intricate rules and habits of different cultures to illustrate that tension. "
-




Mary | 10/7/2013
" An intriguing study of modern manners among Europeans, in the style of Jane Austen. "
-




Anastasia | 9/4/2013
" I'm going to be honest, I couldn't finish it. It was very boring to me. "
-




Heather | 12/2/2012
" one of my favorite diane johnson's novels. "
-




Michelle | 11/30/2012
" Definitely better than Le Divorce, but still just ok. I don't think I will read any more of Diane Johnson's books even if they take place in France... "
-




Laura | 10/21/2012
" This book was somewhat entertaining, and it was fun reading some of the perceptions of the main character, a young American in Europe for the first time. But the characters didn't really come to life for me, and so I didn't care much about them. "
-




Alix | 8/13/2012
" Awesome book...especially if you can appreciate how it makes fun of the French...totally hilarious book. Loved it. "
-




Jennifer | 5/26/2012
" Again, I felt like this book lacked a great ending and I would have liked more about the main character. Of the series, L'Divorce is the best. "
-




Liz Wrobel | 10/25/2011
" I actually only got through half of this before becoming too unmotivated to pick it up and finish it...enough said. "
-




Hazel | 4/15/2011
" This book was engaging and kept me interested, though it seems like something that would be turned into a Lifetime Movie. If you are interested in getting a sense of life in Paris, this is an decent read. "

" trying to finish this book...about 100 pages left to go. I am finding this book not too great, don't like the plot.
