Anna and the French Kiss

"Anna and the French Kiss" by Stephanie Perkins was really, really good.


Lots of Paris to soak up, which was really nice saying I had to cancel my own Paris trip.

And a dangerous amount of food/pastry description. A freaking dangerous amount. Like I got hungry while reading dangerous.

["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 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?"]
I loved that Anna wasn't perfect. Like there were points in the novel where I seriously hated her. Like, I hated her. But as a writer, and a reader I guess, it was really nice. It's not too often when you read a book, a romance novel, where every character isn't absolutely perfect, let alone the narrator. And I mean more than making mistakes. It was fabulous.
