Growing up in North America, I’d always heard stories about how they drank bottle upon bottle of wine and had a diet centred around baguette, butter, and croissants yet remained lithe. To preface this book review, I want to reiterate that I’ve always found French eating habits very fascinating. Years later, as a twentysomething who’s spent three and a half years and counting living in Paris, yet who still enjoys reading books on how to become more French, I decided to revisit this book when I found someone selling it for pennies on Facebook Marketplace. But I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t always been fascinated by the myth of the naturally thin French woman, and frequently flipped through French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano in bookstores as a diet-obsessed teenager and university student, hoping I could absorb their secrets through it. I have to admit, I’m a bit embarrassed to review this book.
