Anna and the French Kiss
Stephanie Perkins
....
What could
possibly be better than going to school in France for a year? Going to school
in France with a sexy British guy. I don’t know about you, but there’s just
something about English accents that get me. I started reading the book just
the other day and I couldn’t put it down. There were so many ups and downs that
I just wanted to jump in and never come out.
The book is
about Anna Oliphant, forced to go to a French boarding school by her father,
and her relationship with Etienne St. Clair. Now, I think every girl around the
world can relate to Anna. Either you’re invisible to the most attractive guy on
the planet, or he’s your best friend. Of course, in my life, I don’t get the
sexy guy, but the feelings Perkins portrays for Anna are the same I have felt
over the last six or so years of my life.
The book
has witty dialogue and well fleshed out characters. Each one is believable. I
wish there had been a little more France in the end of the book. Also, Anna’s
interest in critiquing film fizzled out of the story line. However, I did enjoy
the horrible reality of their home lives as well as the parallel between Anna’s
problems in France and her problems at home. Girls, don’t worry, there is
plenty of romance to give you butterflies. This book is truly amazing, and
though the same characters aren’t in the sequel, there is another book out! 4
pearls!
Keep on Reading

You have definitely sold me on the book (even though I already read it); it has nothing to do with the main character sharing the same first name as I do.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I'm not sure I'm happy about with the review is it's not long enough. I want to know more about Anna as the character, and the writer; how does she draw the reader in, other than Anna being relatable? And is there anything that the writer over-does on? (I personally found that it seemed a bit too cliche).
This is for the figment swap btw. And thank you for your comment on my blog :)
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your input and will work on that for my next review! Have a great day!
