Seventeen year old Anna is sent to an elite boarding school in Paris for her final year of high school. There, amongst the lights of Paris, she falls madly in loves with one of her classmates, Étienne St. Clair, who sadly already has a girlfriend. This is a feel-good fluffy young adult romance novel featuring two classy young adults slowly falling in love in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

This book was average. It was cute and all with St. Clair having an accent, but nothing that hasn't been done before. There were a few parts where Anna was being so stupid that I was ashamed to share first names. The setting of Paris was really nice though.

I would rate Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins 4/5 stars. While reading this book, all I wanted to do was get on a plane and go to school in Paris. I loved how the story incorporated all of the gems Paris has to offer, and it talked about French culture. I also really like Étienne’s personality, he was very likeable. He is the typical French boy of your dreams. I loved how Stephanie Perkins executed the relationship between Anna and Étienne; she showed what a teen relationship looks like, very awkward and confusing, definitely not what you see in many books and movies. The book was very funny and had a cute storyline. I enjoyed how the book had a different storyline than the typical YA romance read. The story did not revolve around the forbidden romance between 2 teens, which is typically seen in teen romance books. I would recommend this book for fans of Sarah Dessen and Kasie West between the ages of 12-16.

This was a pretty decent book I really liked it and was very into it but I would they at lest could have made it at least more Funny though, I’m all about humor and a good laugh in awhile...!!!🤪🤩😂🤣😄😆

This book is a great read, it’s one of my favourite books. Anna, the main character has a great personality, she’s funny and her adventures in France are a page turner. This book is hilarious and extremely well written. Anna is very funny and brings a lot of humour to the story, which makes this the type of book you could re-read a million times. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend, in fact I already have. This book is a teen romantic comedy so if that’s something you like, I highly recommend you read it! 5/5 stars

All of the drama of falling in love as a teenager cleverly written in an engaging story. How can you not fall for YA love in Paris with a cute boy and an accent!

This is the best YA novel I've read for a long time and one of the best romances, too. Perkins is a genius when it comes to describing falling in love as a teenager - the obsession, the desperation, disappointments and -- when it all comes together -- the fireworks. I couldn't put this one down, and I'm a middle-aged mom. Also, she describes the setting, Paris, so well that it becomes a main character in the book. Bravo!

So I think I found my new favorite book!? I don't know why I purposely put off reading this book for so long, but as soon as I started reading it, it was like INSTANT REGRET. I mean a Romance Novel set in the Paris, the city of love should have been enough to make me want to read this book, but I'm just so stubborn. I avoided what I thought was going to be the most boring, sappiest romance novel ever written, but that was not the case. Stephanie Perkins did a wonderful job of writing an honestly genuine and unique human connection between Anna and a boy nick named St. Clair. St. Clair has a girlfriend, and Anna is determined not to fall in love with him, like all the other love struck girls at their school. The two end up creating a wonderful friendship and bond, all while Anna is secretly falling in love with him. She has to constantly remind herself throughout the novel that St. Clair is taken and in a long term relationship! This is the premise that starts you off on a wild adventure of miscommunications. All this while exploring the city of Paris. I can't imagine a more perfect setting for this budding romance than the streets of Paris. This is such a happy, feel good read, honestly I recommend reading this book on a gloomy, rainy day, because it will just turn your whole day around and put you in such a positive mood.

I personally loved the book, it might have seemed slow paced but it went by fast and I was getting sad that it was ending. It was a good storyline and it’s worth a read. From reading the book you’ll relate to circumstances that the protagonist went through and I think that’s why I really enjoyed the book.

One of my favourite books! This first in a series is so cute and just perfect for summer!
