A review by leighkayne
Idéal Standard by Aude Picault

2.0

I was so glad to find this book at the library. I read an excerpt when it was published and I don't know why I really wanted to read it all.

I really don't understand why. I was a bit bored.

There were some interesting parts, about premature kids and the difficulties their parents have with them ; the "charge mentale" aka when all the chores and responsibilities are on one person of the couple only.

But the part about the protagonist's relationship didn't reall click with me. I thought it would be about physical appearances not settling or thinking to do so with someone you don't belong with.

And I don't like the art that much.

Not a book for me.
