How to Behave in a Crowd by Camille Bordas
3.0
I'm finding it quite difficult to put into words how I feel about "How to Behave in a Crowd" by Camille Bordas. This is one of those books that I didn't necessarily like, but I didn't hate either.
There was 319 pages of nothing really happening in a family in France and how a boy was emotionally smart and his siblings were intellectually smart. Life happens. Death happens. And sometimes you read a book that is "meh".
It was well written, and the translation from French to English was good. I got slightly invested in the main character Dory, but for the most part, this novel left me wanting.
I don't always need a happy ending. I know life doesn't work out that way. But for me, I need something to actually happen to hold my interest. Either way, easy read. It seems unlikely I'll seek out Bordas' other novels in the future.
Happily moving on, happy reading!
