Anna and the French Kiss


Well, I know what you're thinking.  "Gosh Caroline why are you reading a book like that it sounds super inappropriate?" Well you are wrong! HA! It is not inappropriate well at least for a young adult book it's not bad.  Anna and the French Kiss is written by Stephanie Perkins.  You can visit her website here.  It's her first book and it's awesome.  Not only because it takes place in Paris the most amazing city in the world, but because it's about romance, food, friendship, movies, parents(family), ummm and other things...
So here's a synopsis of this lovely book.  Anna is a senior, but instead of spending her last year with her best friend Bridgette and her crush her parents send her off to boarding school in Paris.  Anna hates the idea because she's leaving behind everything she's ever known, and she doesn't even know how to speak French.  She starts crying in her tiny room once her parents leave and then her neighbor Meredith comes over to talk to her.  They end up talking for a few hours.  Meredith promises it will be better and she'll learn to love to love school.  In the hallway she literally runs into Etienne St. Clair.  Who is attractive but she learns he has a girlfriend.  Boo right.  Etienne or St. Clair as everyone calls him is this great guy who is French and American but grew up in England so he has a British accent.  He and Anna become best friends but secretly Anna wishes it could be something more.  To find out more about Anna and to see if she ever gets her French kiss read Anna and the French Kiss.
I really liked this book.  I went to France last year so when she talks about going to all these places i got really excited.  Plus there is a lot of talk about French food!!!!! This is the best kind of food especially crepes.  Which are good.  Other than the French aspects of the book I liked the characters they seemed really real, if not a little fake with their problems.  Also deep down I'm a sucker for books about girls who like a guy but the guy doesn't realize it.  They're my weakness.  So because the book mainly takes place in Paris and it has an awesome story plot line i give this book a 9 out of 10 on the Caroline Scale of Book Awesomeness.  I would give it a 10 only if it was deeper than it was.  It was a book that was on the lighter side of life.  I recommend this book to anyone who likes France or just wants a good book to read.  :) Caroline
