This was fine. Not what I was expecting. I enjoyed the first hundred pages(except the writing style). Then we lose a narrative part that I was enjoying way more. We started just focusing on Julie and how she felt about the things that happened and her stupid husband. Honestly while I was reading I had plot points that would have made this better and when they didn’t happen and it was just about Julia I was disappointed. That being said I am happy I read this because I honestly didn’t really know that these events took place in France.
