MY THOUGHTS: This was a very interesting book. Full of the insights of a French girl's visit to New York that turns into her living there. The book is written in log or diary form. There are interviews with people, poems and illustrations. It is sometimes funny and sometimes very truthful as to what is happening and going on in this girl's life.
MY RATING: 5
My name is Florencia and I am Virginie Sommet's assistant and she is the author of "Only in New York, Darling!". I am writing on her behalf to inquire about getting her book reviewed on your blog. I was referred to you through J. Kaye’s Book Blog that kindly sent me a list of bloggers interested in reviewing books.
"Only in New York, Darling! " a book that serves as a "log book" but is also a look into the life of a underground french artist moving to New York and how she experiences the city. The book also includes illustrations and interviews.

Product Description

**English version** Edgier than the Lonely Planet, hipper than the Village Voice, more intellectual than the New York Times... I've found my Bible to carry me through the funkiest city on the planet! A trippy "logbook" written by a French girl from Normandy landing in Manhattan and slowly making it on her own as an uderground artist, this chronicle plunged me into the maze of New York City's daily life, its pleasures, risks, hassles, encounters and wonders. The language is incomparable, the narration fluid, the tone incisive, at times hilarious, and at times intimate and moving. Reflection of the New Yorkers'psychology, the necessary melting pot of cultures, and the virtues of immigration. The question of identity is featured at he heart of the rhetoric developped. It is New York that possesses us, never the opposite! The writer, she knows it by heart! Bravo! Catherine Vachon
