Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Anna and the French Kiss

Author: Stephanie Perkins
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile
Pages: 384
Format: Hardcover
Category: Young Adult
Rating: Pick it!  

Anna is 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. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near - misses end with the French kiss Anna - and readers - have long awaited?

I absolutely LOVED this book from the first page to the last. I don't read too much young adult contemporary fiction, but after reading this great novel, I won't be so quick to pass it up. The story mainly takes place in Paris *sigh* with Anna as our main girl. Anna falls for Etienne, a.k.a. St.Clair who is as dreamy as can be. Giddy and adorable dialogue follows, so for those of you who can't stomach "cutesy talk" this isn't the novel for you. However, I haven't come across a single person who has read this book and told me they didn't like. I've come to realize that that's just not possible! All in all, this book was amazing. The story flowed great and was light and upbeat for the most part. Can't wait to read Stephanie's next adventure! And on that note, I would say Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins has been officially marked!
