I struggled to get through this book and even wondered several times why I kept reading. All the characters are self-absorbed, which is part of the point and challenging because they never seem to evolve or grow. It felt like when someone starts a telling a story not sure what their point is and then keeps going and you keep waiting for the reason they are talking and it never comes.
I kept reading this work even though nothing much happens, the characters don't really evolve and I am not even sure everyone ends up semi-happy. Frances and Bobbi are university students, not even 25 yet, and struggling with what to do with their futures. They end up involved with a group of artists, writers, older people and spend time in France with them. Frances becomes infatuated with Nick, a married/older man, and most of the book is about them and how their relationship effects Frances's relationship with Bobbi. I kept waiting for something extraordinary to happen and was disappointed. I did think this was very well written, which is probably even with the lack of action or even character growth, I kept picking it up to read.
Thank you First to Read.
