Het verhaal is een beetje voorspelbaar, maar ik kan me wel inbeelden dat het destijds een schandaal was. Dit boek beschrijft uitstekend dat typische jonge egocentrisme. Moeilijk in te beelden dat Françoise Sagan maar 18 jaar oud was toen ze dit schreef, want de taal is prachtig.

A really well done and well rounded novella - you can read it in one or two sittings if you wish. For all the good girls out there - dreaming about their “bad” side.
Also for everone who LOVES summer, france and the meditarrenean sea.
It’s romantic, it’s sexy, it’s young and it’s evil. Perfect summer read, if you ask me

Je HAIS la couverture du livre sur Goodreads, pourquoi ils ont choisi ça ?


C'est bien écrit et c'était court mais ça ne m'a pas particulièrement touché. Il y a de très jolies images de l'été, de la plage et de la mer qui contribuent à une atmosphère enivrante. On ressent bien le coup de la chaleur, de l'alcool et des manipulations.

I already knew, like, three chapters in that I’d give this book a high rating. I heavily relate to Cecile in almost every single way possible except for her disdain for academics. She’s conniving, only interested in herself, she reminds me of Blair Waldorf, who’s my favorite character in my favorite TV show, “Gossip Girl”, & I agree with almost all of her personal views, philosophies, & personal politics. It’s so French, & it’s so me.
