From Booklist Scott spent six months in Paris in 2001 as part of a foreign-exchange program. What she observed and learned fills this book.

The author talks to you like a peer and interjects her personal experience with tips. This book is about a lifestyle change. Since I read it, I have gotten rid of most of the items in my closet, and started to clear the extra clutter. I am more mindful of what I purchase (no more 15 minute Target frenzy shopping). I believe that this is a great book and am really . Marvelous I have read many how to "be French". However this book incorporated examples and aspects of lifestyles that have never been answered. Appreciating quality of clothes has never been new to me but understand what the space is like in their closets was new to me. I never understood the value of respect in the French culture by giving yourself the treatment of a guest and not ever reserving dishes, fine dining experiences, special outfits and rituals only for guests.
