I had to read this for school. It is old, very old, and I tend to not like old things, for some reason. The only thing that kept me reading was the obvious (to me) fact that Tiberge and Des Grieux are in love. Don't worry, this isn't a spoiler, because, like I said, it's an old book and a new interpretation that few people will share. It might solely be the way authors used to describe friendliness, but it definitely felt VERY friendly.
I had fun though, picking it apart with my modern gaze, in a way that it was DEFINITELY not meant to be.

read it for school but honestly not bad.

Had to read it for French exam... Interesting but a little cheesy...

j’aurais fait comme Manon si mon partenaire était si stupide et insupportable que Des Grieux
