Praise for French Like Moi

A delightful read...essays filled with levity and grace. A winning and witty collection offering humor and insight into the French way of life.

Kirkus Reviews

Carpenter captures the ironies, oddities, and attractions of the French capital in a way few writers have achievedwhich is saying a lot, considering how many have tried their hand at conjuring the City of Light. French Like Moi is a delightful romp through French life and Midwestern sensibilities, all combined in one compelling story.

Midwest Book Review

Sit back with a croissant and an espressoor better yet, du vin et du fromage and treat yourself to the delights and dilemmas of being a Midwesterner in Paris. Scott Carpenters tales of life in the French capital will make you laugh, marvel, and daydream about amping up the adventure in your own life. Merci Monsieur Carpenter!

Lorna Landvik, author of Chronicles of a Radical Hag

Deeply French but also deeply Midwesternand thus rather perfect.

Alethea Black, author of Youve Been So Lucky Already

French Like Moi is not only full of spot-on cultural observations and the laugh-out-loud-yet-self-deprecating humor Minnesotans do so well, its also beautifully written with a timeless literary flair.

Heather Stimmler-Hall, author of Naughty Paris ,
editor of Secrets of Paris

I laughed until my sides hurt at Carpenters lighthearted and self- deprecating take on living in lHexagone . For loyal lovers of Paris and France, and anyone whos moved abroad or is thinking about it, French Like Moi is a jovial reminder to pack your patience and your dictionary, and gobble up every single, butter-soaked morsel of the journey.

Kimberley Lovato, author of Walnut Wine & Truffle Groves

Carpenter greets the language, cuisine, culture, and daily details of life with a wit and honesty that makes for a rollicking read. We encounter vivid characters, impossible scenarios, and such hilarious tableaus that soon we all feel French like lui !

Erin Byrne, author of Wings: Gifts of Art, Life, and Travel in France

A hilarious look atfiguring out life.
