A review by danae_leu
Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know by Samira Ahmed
2.0
Snore.
This book was drudgery.
I can appricate the author's ambitions, using a duel narrative to tie different historical works of art together with a feminist message. And perhaps it would have been more readable if she had just stuck to the historical story. Instead were forced to dither about Paris as our boring heroine conviently uncovers hiddens messages and treasure in awkwardly contrived moments. The romances are so shallowly protrayed, even the historical one, it was hard to stay invested.
