Helena,

I have done some reviews on your books in fishpond.com.au so don’t worry about the silly comment ! – I mean how can you take someone who critiques with the words, “crapness in journalists” seriously? A message to you, Onion: sweat, sear, and saute your smelly self elsewhere! You obviously have the literary taste of someone who would prefer to read “Walter the Farting Dog”, hmmn sweetie?

Helena,

Love your work!

Helena,
That woman is absolutely nuts! My friends and I all love your book. Wish it were longer in fact.

Keep writing and doing what you do!

Loved your book (2 lippies & a luvvver!) I am the grand age of 48 & my 17 year old daughter loved the the book also…good messages for her to follow. Don’t feel down over negative stuff…can’t please everyone and some people are terribly puritanical & uptight…or just plain jealous!
Keep up the good work!

I haven’t read your book so can’t comment on it. But surely it’s one of these facts of live that you hear more of people who are unhappy about something?

Just learn to ignore unfounded criticsm.

I loved the book and reread it after I moved away from Paris, so as not to forget my french habits!

I have not had the pleasure to read your book. English print being very difficult to come by here, but I have you on my list when next I go west. I read your blog and find it difficult to believe that you could write anything such as described in that review.

Helena,

I LOVED “All You Need to Be Impossibly French” (the U.S. name) and always enjoy reading your website for your witty observations on, well, whatever you feel like writing about. Please don’t let anyone who wishes to spread their own negative outlook drag you down! Just consider the unhappy, resentful source and keep writing, keep smiling….I’m looking forward to when Ciao Bella is released in the U.S.

Merci for your books and your webpage….long may they continue!

My apologies – noticed I wrote Lips rather than Lipsticks. Feel free to correct my error.
