Chapter 3
I actually just continued reading from Chapter 2 because i was wondering what was going to happen with Rosemary and Dick (the man who had waken her up on the beach). Rosemary and her mother end up traveling to Cannes to eat out at this well decorated restaurant. The narrator explains how the natives weren't as welcoming as they could have been. A lot of them had given them the cold shoulder and dirty looks. Rosemary tells her mother that she thinks she has fallen in love with Dick. I got a little confused towards the end when her mother told her she had to go visit someone the following day, i remember Rosemary demanding her mother to go with her but the mother continued to decline her request. I'm probably going to end up reading that part over just to make sure that I'm not missing out on any key points!
Chapter 2
So, I'm getting more into the book, it still hasn't bored me yet so that's a good sign. Even though it's the beginning i feel like Ill be able to read it without getting annoyed or bored with it. I realized today it was a love story, which i have nothing against but have never really read by choice before. In this chapter we learn a little more about the people on the beach that Rosemary has met. For quite a bit of it Mrs. McKisco jokes around with her about a "plot" which ends up getting her high intelligent husband irritated. Rosemary eventually falls asleep on the beach to avoid talking to anyone else, which is similar to her actions in the first chapter were she seemed to try to distance herself from everyone. She wakes up to the voice of a man who was celebrating his departure. For a moment they look into each others eyes, which could be a foreshadow of romance later on.

Chapter 1

Okay, so chapter one doesn't actually seem that bad. This book isn't like anything Ive actually read, but oddly its interesting enough for me to keep reading. I haven't wanted to put it down yet. I can't really explain what happens in the first chapter in words that would make a lot of sense but for the most part the scene is set in a French Rivera, and the story is following a female named Rosemary, who seems to maybe be critical on herself, or somewhat hiding from something. The book goes into great detail about the characteristics of the people on the beach where Mary is and explains the structure of the book. At the end of the Chapter it seems as if someone noticed Rosemary and when she went over to them they asked her why she wasn't back in America; mentioning something about movies also, which is making me think she is either an actress or a film director.
