Anna and the French Kiss

Anna and the French Kiss
By Stephanie Perkins
Dutton, 2010. 372 pgs. Young Adult

When Anna's romance-novelist father sends her to an elite American boarding school in Paris for her senior year of high school, she reluctantly goes. Anna meets an amazing boy who becomes her best friend, in spite of the fact that they both want something more.

I was in the mood for a love story and this book fit the bill. Anna is not excited to leave her friends and her sort-of, maybe, they kind of hooked up just before she left, boyfriend Toph. At first she just sits in her Parisian dorm room and doesn’t even try to explore the city. However after making friends with Meredith, Rashmi, Josh, and St. Clair (who just happens to be gorgeous) life gets quite a bit better. Reading this novel really made me want to visit the City of Lights!
