Paris, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down by Rosecrans Baldwin

2.0

SpoilerI suppose this wasn't as bad as a lot of the trite narratives of Americans living in Paris. This book had some genuinely funny moments, and arguably one moment of honest and novel insight, but fell short of actually providing any connection to what it's really like for an American to live in France. As most in this genre do, the book ends with him deciding he can't take France any more, and returning to the States where he gets a book deal for his troubles.

I'd like to see more books from permanent or long-term French expats, but I accept that that's not what this was trying to be.
