Read 2 times. Last read December 23, 2020 to December 26, 2020.
2015 reread - just as amazing as I remembered <3 This will forever remain one of my all-time favourite books!
Oh.My.God. Have I ever loved a book???
This is hands-down one of the best books I've read this year. 5 stars are not enough, I want to rate it 10 stars! Bloody hell! I'm in love... �
Mum, Dad, could you please send me to a Boarding School in Paris? What? Me being 25 years old is a problem? Noooo, come on guys, I do look really young. I will pass for an 18-year-old!
Full review will probably follow...

“I'm not sure how to order."
"Easy," Josh says. "Stand in line. Tell them what you want. Accept delicious goodies. And then give them your meal card and two pints of blood."
"I heard they raised it to three pints this year," Rashmi says.
"Bone marrow," Beautiful Hallway Boy says. "Or your left earlobe.”

“A moment of reserve. "That was it? The whole story?"
"Yes. God, you're right. That was pants."
I sidestep another aggressive couscous vendor. "Pants?"

Pants. Oh heavens, that's cute.”

i agree - this review is perfect as it is!

Nic, it's a deal! :)
Morg, I think you should give it a try! It really is a great book and I thought it was pretty hilarious, too! I went to the hair dresser today and while I was sitting there, reading, I was getting weird looks from the people around me because I kept cracking up.
The Christmas dinner? The parents are fighting and the oblivious half-deaf grandma keeps shouting "WHERE IS THE SALT? I CAN'T TASTE THE CASSEROLE! PASS THE SALT" LMAO!


LOL Jess, I loved that dinner, it wouldn't be a holiday without a crazy family dinner:D

Is it weird that I want to read this book again, like, right now? I just don't want to let go just yet...Ah, who cares? I just have to read it again!

I re-read parts of it the day after finishing ;). I wrote my review after that, and it's basically just a whole lot of rambling about how great the book is. Not sure if I will post it like that, it got way too long ;).
And, Jess, I wouldn't mind visiting you at French boarding school either ;). Or ... maybe I should enroll, too? I could certainly pass for 17 or 18, I think. And my French is magnifique *coughs*.

I loved that, too. Especially since it's funny and believable. I've had even crazier Christmas dinners at my home. Everything is so incredibly real and believable. I continuously had flashbacks to my year in a smallish dorm and to awkward dates-or-maybe-not-dates and so on. Perfectly captured behavior.

Janina, I think we should enroll. My French really isn't that good anymore but I would manage to order my food and buy a cinema ticket :)
Exactly, Olivia! Seriously, this could have happened at my place on Christmas!

I've been re-reading it all week! I can't stop going back for quotes. Do you know how long it's been since I couldn't stop going back to a book?? It's getting nuts!
I don't know why, but I started laughing in the middle of the night over the girl guide cookie scene;
Josh is horrified."Whyareyougivingawaythecookies"?
It's so freaken cute and funny!!
@ Kim- Reallllly;)

OMG I loved that scene XD I also thought it was hilarious how Anna and Étienne met and how she obsessed over his hair. His beautiful hair! ^^
There are so many great scenes! Oooh, I totally forgot! *heads over to the corner to continue her gushing there*

~goes to the corner~

I skip one book and everybody has multiple orgasms.
*mumbles 'I have a copy on my Kindle'*

Hope you enjoy!

In my opinion it is better than Amy and Roger, b.t.w (sorry that I make the comparison AGAIN).


BTW, I likie your review Jess... I wouldn't change a thing. XD

Anna.Is.A.Riot.

*waits 'till somebody comes in with a camera*

It is better that A & R and that is a hard book to beat. Read it Kim and Morgan!!!!
