Central Park by Guillaume Musso
Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

This was written by a middle aged white man and it shows. The inability to write an accurate female character is disappointing for someone who wanted to see what the most read contemporary french author wrote like. The misuse and overuse of slang gave me the ick.
