“Why is it that the right people never wind up together? Why are people so afraid to leave a relationship, even if they know it's a bad one?”
Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss # 1)
Stephanie Perkins
Summary: Anna is 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. Which is why she is 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?
My Review: You know how, when you have a crush on someone that goes on for a very long time. All of the feelings that go along with it (the butterflies, but also the pitfalls) that's how this book feels. A some points it was such a high, all the smiles, and at others it was that low, pit in your stomach, monster under your bed feeling. By the end I was absolutely swooning, but I think if I read this at the age I am now, I'd probably be super pissed at both of the main characters, but reading it as a young adult? By far my favorite book of my early-twenties.
Recommended age: 14+ (some kissing, language)
