Book Review: Anna and The French Kiss

Anna and the French Kiss

Anna was looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. So she's less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all . . . including a serious girlfriend.

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss? Stephanie Perkins keeps the romantic tension crackling and the attraction high in a debut guaranteed to make toes tingle and hearts melt.


Wow, all I want to say about this book is wow! but I'm sure you wish for a better review then just Wow! Anna and the French Kiss did indeed make my toes tingle and my heart melt.  I want to read it again, but I'm going to put some space between now and reading it again, so I can get that wow feeling again.
I love how Perkins made Etienne St. Clair drool worthy, but his height is short for a guy.  That one imperfect made him ever more likable.
While I did have a silly grin on my face most of the time I read this book, and love Anna and St. Clair, this book is about the up and down of living in high school (as Anna point out in the book, living in a boarding school you means you don't get to leave high school, day or night) and relationships.

If you love an  Plain Jane love story, no magic, no Mythical heroes, and outer space, this book is for you! Don't miss out! 

By the way Stephanie Perkins is my new Author Hero!
