Mon Cheri is a novel about a rare friendship and an even rarer love. Spare Time Novels wrote this novella. It documents the crazy antics of two friends whose connection to each other is a thing to be studied. Saying that I liked this book is an understatement of the century. Sometimes, I got scared of how things would end, seeing as they were reckless in their dealings with alcohol and guns. Other times, I caught myself rooting for them to hook up and take things to the next level. Mon Cheri made me laugh and cry simultaneously. It made me wish for Charlie’s and Le Femme’s kind of love.
Each chapter was short, but they each affected me. Each chapter focuses on a couple of minutes or hours in these friends’ lives on their journey to Honey Hill. I liked the way Spare Time Novels chose to write this book. The writing style was indeed refreshing.
Mon Cheri gave me a lot to ponder on. One of the lessons that stood out to me is to live life to the fullest. It teaches me not to be afraid of taking a leap when I have to. It made me understand that life is to be lived and enjoyed, not survived. Like Charlie, I should live more. This lesson is what I liked most in this superb novella.
I recommend this to you if you love short books about rare kinds of adventure. If you love books about friends on a journey, Mon Cheri is a must-read.
