Anna and the French Kiss




By Stephanie Perkins

5/5

I have seen this book floating around Bookstagram for quite some time now and as I came to the end of my Summer TBR pile, I thought it was time to give this and its companion two novels a go. And I am so glad that I did. The story follows Anna who has been sent to School of America, Paris, by her father and it is where she befriends a close knit group of friends, and mostly importantly, the darling Etienne St Clair.

I am completely obsessed with this book and I devoured it in about 3 hours because I just could not put it down. From start to finish I was hooked and this book now has a very special place in my heart and is without a doubt one of my favourite books. This book is the perfect contemporary with its Parisian setting, incredibly cliché love story and gorgeous love interest. The characters are fantastic and I loved every single one; Josh and St Clair’s friendship was hilarious, Anna and St Clair’s friendship was endearing and as their friendship blossomed into more, I found myself getting butterflies and smiling as I read because it was just so beautiful. The writing was simple and honest and really brought Anna and St Clair’s relationship to life.  The cover of this book is also stunning and was originally what drew me to the book in the first place.

I honestly have no complaints about this book. I thought it was absolutely breath-taking and despite only finishing it a few days ago, I cannot wait to read it again!
