I’m reading this in French. Reading and translating one chapter at a time. Current novels like this can be difficult for French language learners because of the amount of slang in the writing. This one has typical phrases and idioms for each chapter title so that’s educational for me. Eg Je file un mauvais coton (im in a tight spot) and C’est le bouquet! (That’s the last straw!)
