antidietleah 's review for:

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

4.0

---

I'm surprised - I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I'm generally not huge on historic novels but I found this interesting and very well written. I felt what Hadley felt - the love, the need, the pain, the agony, the awkwardness of another woman in your marriage bed. I'm not entirely sure what would have made this a 5-star read for me... maybe the fact that I think part of the reason I enjoyed it so much had largely to do with the celebrity of Hemingway and knowing how it all ends and that isn't reason enough for me to give it an A+.
