Older, But Better, But Older: From the Authors of How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are by Sophie Mas, Caroline De Maigret
3.0
Well, for starters, I would encourage anyone unfamiliar w CDM to find a YouTube clip of, or interview with her and decide about reading this from there. She’s a model, born in 1975, with a record label and a musician boyfriend, 1M IG followers and countless Pinterest boards dedicated to her style.
Secondly, this is a step up from a Cosmo mag and many, many below any kind of substantive discussion of midlife (go read Midlife: A Philosophical Guide by Kieran Setiya instead!). Still, there are tender, legit truths that will resonate with some and there’s a tie that binds here for me! I had some chuckles and more than a few nods.
I’m sick in bed, needed a one-sitting-read-literature-reprieve, and this was it. For personal reasons, I loved it for what it was (and would probably get along famously with anyone else who did!).
