“A Certain Smile”
Novel by Françoise Sagan

They say people don’t read books anymore, but honestly, humans have never consumed this much daily text in all of history.

Still, I love the vibe of a physical book. Just holding one feels cool, and there’s something genuinely stylish about the classics. Sagan’s books always have great cover art, and this copy of A Certain Smile is so clean and sharp.

Her writing is pleasantly dry, watching human nature with a cool, detached eye. Sounds like the perfect summer plan,
taking this book to a park, a beach, or a café.
