Undeniably talented, Françoise Sagan had a beautifully succinct way with words.
I envy her.
Oh, how much she conveys in short descriptions, whether it's about summer heat or the fiery passion. Her characters are fascinating to follow, and without overdoing it, you can't help but read just one more page, until it's 5 am and you definitely shouldn't have done that, but it's too late and you can only regret your choices and deal with the consequences. Oddly appropriate.
