French Exit by Patrick deWitt

haileypassmoree's review against another edition

3.0

2.5 stars

this book was fun, despite the unexpected darker ending, but fun it was. not written too thick, but in a way that you can easily follow along in the lives of the characters. following their day to day interactions as well as few stories from their past. the events of the book nicely lead up together to the grand finale.

not a strong novel, but a fun and eventful one to say the least.

A complicated portrait of a woman I can't help but hate and admire, French Exit  
Is breezy and sad in equal measure
