Book Review: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

  Anna Oliphant, an Atlanta native, is happy where she is. She has an awesome best friend Bridgette. A job in a movie theater, and a love interest named Toph there, too. Anna is looking forward to her senior year at her high school, but her romance novelist father has different plans for her. He sends Anna away to a boarding school in Paris. And when Anna learns of the news, she is less than thrilled. But all those feelings melt away when she meets Etienne St. Clair during her first day of school. She falls for him instantly, but he’s taken, and she *kind of* is, too. How will this affect their new friend ship, and can they possibly turn into something more?
  I. Loved. This. Book. It is written finely written with humor and romance by its author, Stephanie Perkins. The main characters are all so lovable and relatable, Anna, a movie lover aspiring to be a movie critic. Etienne St. Clair, short, yet charming, but he is a loyal friend and has more depth to him than he shows. The story is one big roller coaster of romance, friendship, and adventures in the City of Lights. Filled with moments were you laugh until your sides hurt, and times where you want to reach into the book, grab the characters by the shoulders, and shake a little sense into them.
This book is definitely a must read! Pick it up at your local library or bookstore A.S.A.P.! Also, a little note to the author…You are truly a genius, please never stop writing!
Have a wonderful night everyone!
