A review by oddmara
French Milk by Lucy Knisley
1.0
Y'all idk what the hell is up with this reading month but between DNFing 2 books and not managing to read anything above 2 stars (besides that one romance book) is actually making me feel insane.
I wanted to read a graphic novel as a palette cleanser but this was the most boring and irrelevant book I have ever read. At the beginning it says so and I really should have taken its word for it because it disclaims that it's the author's personal diary during the month she was in Paris and that's exactly what it felt like. Reading a random stranger's diary about their boring life whilst visiting paris. There was NOTHING of interest here. NOTHING. Half of it was what she ate for gods sake. And the other half was her NOT wanting to be in Paris. I cannot even bring myself to explain how little I cared. I could have gone on ebay and bought a strangers diary, read it, and gotten a story to the same effect, which is to say, I have absolutely no fucking clue how this got published. I hate being mean in reviews but this one I truly just did not get.
