The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

5.0

I don’t think I’ve cried this hard while reading a book in a long time. Ernest Hemingway is my favorite author, ever since I was 14. He’s the person who got me into reading and the joy of literature. This book just proves that everyone is human, everyone is imperfect. Through this book I learned a dark side of Hemingway and the horrible troubles and struggles that he and Hadley endured. It made me hate him, and if I wrote this review three hours ago, that would be my final verdict, I would never pick up another one of his books. But now, letting the steam roll off, I will read more, because he is human, and me or anyone else’s will never know the TRUE story of Ernest Hemingway, we will never know every detail. So I will continue to love Hemingway. Nonetheless this book is brilliant, and beautifully written. 5 out of 5 baby!
