Paul by Daisy Lafarge

khrysta's review

3.0

I liked how we got to see the relationship and Paul's personality slowly change.  I couldn't stand Paul from the beginning so sadly I had to just watch and wait for Frances to come to a complete realization of the situation she is in and run.

The energy of the book is very hard to explain, it felt suffocating but at the same time there were moments of peace and relaxation.

Just an okay book. Im not a big fan of the writing style. 
It was a little boring at the beginning. But I liked the little signs and hints of Paul’s toxicity thru the whole story. 
Maybe this book will save a girl or two from their toxic partners by showing early signs of gaslighting etc.

If I had a nickel for every time I read a book about a girl named Frances who has an affair with an older man in the European countryside, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
