Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

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. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?

In this book we follow Anna as she's sent to boarding school in Paris which made me feel instantly interested in the story, one of the main reasons I liked this book was because I was able to remember my previous visit to Paris. I recognized many places mentioned in the book and felt like I was there.

The day Anna arrives, she meets a guy, Etienne St. Clair a charming, handsome and popular boy that will become her love interest with a little problem, he's taken. I enjoyed following how their relationship grew with all their romantic misunderstandings and misassumptions. The downside for me was that sometimes I was annoyed by St. Claire's emotional issues and the way he handled the relationship with his girlfriend and Anna

I can't really go deep into the story, but overall, I liked the book and would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a sweet charming novel.
