Unfortunately, the book felt like a long foreplay in some spots that the “will-he-or-will-he-not” tone was a bit too much. Point Zéro des Routes de France – Paris, France As she slowly eases into her life in Paris, Anna becomes increasingly torn between missing Toph and Bridge, her growing friendship with the already-taken Etienne, her conflicts of being a new girl in school, that only when she goes back full circle when she realizes that the best thing she wished for was always right in front of her eyes. She was however welcomed by Meredith and her group of friends, which include the charmingly handsome Etienne St. Anna resented having plucked out of her normal life in Atlanta - away from her best friend, Bridge, and her budding relationship with her crush, Toph - but as an obedient daughter, she kept her feelings in and felt lost immediately after her parents left her. However, I only got to read it around this time and it’s a good thing that I did because I needed something like that something that is simple yet not mundane but definitely refreshing.Īnna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins tells a story of a young girl named Anna Oliphant, a self-confessed film junkie, who was suddenly shipped off to a boarding school in Paris, France by her father who wanted to give a life-changing experience before she goes to college. I bought Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins a long time ago at the recommendation of Chachic and Tina, a couple of book blogger friends, who absolutely loved it. I often refer to it as a “breather book” something that is nothing too heavy or frilly while still entertaining.
In the midst of all the fiction lined up for our book group’s future discussions as well as those that I still have to read, I find myself wanting to pick up something easy on the eyes. It had all the elements of a typical young adult romance without it being too emotional or angsty. What I loved the most about Anna and the French Kiss was its genuine and relatable narrative. Will a year of romantic near-misses end in the French kiss Anna awaits? The only problem? He’s taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her crush back home.
So she’s not too thrilled when her father unexpectedly ships her off to boarding school in Paris – until she meets Etienne St. Anna can’t wait for her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a good job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more.
