A review by amyspag
The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The constant French phrases with the English straight after felt like she was bulking the word count up. Like the French characters would be talking to each other, presumably in French, but then there would be a French phrase with its English translation after. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much lol but I think without it the book would of been 4 star but it just irritated me too much, when there was high tension and we would get the same sentence twice in two languages it felt like it broke the tension
