Blue Is the Warmest Color

I don't get it.
I did like it better than the film, which isn't saying much because I did not like the film at all. Only got the GN out of the mistaken belief that since the film was getting such rave reviews and was based on a GN that got great reviews that I'd just missed something in the film. I don't think I did.
There was nothing ‘special' about this story to me; nothing about it that stood out. Yes it's a first love story, but nothing about the characters made me care about them and major plot points happened really quickly without any importance really being given to them. The drug addiction came out of nowhere for me - I'll admit it's possible that I missed signs of it because I struggle with reading too quickly, particularly GNs, but I actually spent the whole book thinking she'd committed suicide.
I struggled with the font of Clementine's ‘handwriting', having to pause to figure out what the word was. It amuses me that in French ‘boohoo' is apparently ‘bou hou' :)
