Anna and the French Kiss

Anna was looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. So she's less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all . . . including a serious girlfriend.

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?

I noticed this book getting very good reviews. Since it was nominated as one of Michigan Library's 20 "Thumbs Up" books of 2011, I knew I had to give it a read. A very good read, but honestly, there are quite a few of the books on this list that I thought are better. With that said, the characters are very believable and each one grabs your heartstrings. This is a happy ending story of friendship and love.

All the YA books I read as a teen, especially those with romance had to end happily or I was so disappointed :)

Great book review. I especially appreciated the time you took to tell us about how you liked the characters.

It was good to have you check in for the 400 mile fitness challenge last week. It sounds like you are doing a great job over halfway there. I look forward to hearing how you did this week!
Cheers,
