I want you to read me like one of your French girls. |
But seriously, I'm loving this book and so I'm reading it very, very slowly. It's my Saturday morning treat to myself as, though I've been out of the retail game for a few years now, sleeping in and lolling about on Saturday mornings still feels very special to me.
I like this book because it is an opportunity to see the world, the very same world that I see, through someone else's perspective. I suppose one could argue that ANY book could accomplish that, but this book is written so candidly, so honestly, that you could easily be having this conversation with Alexa Chung, your BFF, as you two sat eating pizza and jalapeno poppers without plates over your heat-stained second-hand coffee table. It's a book that, and I mean this in a good way, doesn't require you to think. You look at pictures, read a few words, and are reminded of things in the world that are pretty, cool, and pretty cool.
I highly recommend checking it out! You can even borrow my copy, if you like. And, if I may be so bold, readers of the great unknown...what should be my next Saturday morning treat? I mean bookwise, not just going back to sleep for the day, since it's Saturday after all.
Love and Literature,
