Sooo, I am undeniably jealous of Anna!!! Paris! A cute English/American Boy with an Accent! Did I mention Paris?!?!?!

Ahhh, the city of romance. Love is building up the entire time while reading this one. It's a bit teen angst, love you-hate you, We're just friends, I've got to have you.

Summary: Anna has been shipped off to Paris to finish out her last year of high School. She is from Atlanta (Hotlanta, if you're from Georgia like me), a pretty southern(but not too twangy to the point of cheesyness)normal teenage girl. She is swooning over Topher, her hometown crush when she is flying over the ocean. Once landing in Frace she spots St. Clair and nothing is the same after that first meeting. He enters her mind. They become friends. He has a girlfriend, his mother has cancer, he's scared of change. They spend a considerable amount of time togehter (I'd be super jealous if I was his girlfriend). They develop a friendship. They get each other. They are in love.... but will they ever act on it?!?!?


Holy Shitake Mushrooms!!! I adored this little love story. It was just too cute. Swoonworthy, gobble-fest worthy. When I couldn't be reading, I was wishing I was! The characters were so very enjoyable. They all had little side-stories, but nothing too distracting.

4.0 stars + St. Clair= 4.5 stars

Sidenote: ON the cover the girl has brown hair... I thought I read where Anna had blonde hair? Or is just the one streak light blonde?

Appropriate for the Young Adult age group, no sex- scenes, I'd say 13 and up.

Brooke I hope you love it! This book was *swoon* heaven. I think all of us bookers loved it ;o)


Cara OH MY GOSH, this book was so good. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


Kristy :) thanks! I'm sure I'm going to love it!


Arlene Yay! Glad you liked it. :) She has dark hair with a blond streak in it. I believe in the book one of the meanies was calling her skunk. LOL I can't believe I remember that. Anywho, glad you enjoyed. :D


Kristy you're right.... DUH moment for me!!! ;)


Jade The way Anna is described brings "Rogue" from Xmen movie to mind. Gap in teeth, dark hair, white streak.


Kristy Oooooh, good call....


Suzanne Kristy, you've inspired me to get to this one before I become bogged down with the latest in the Game of Thrones series in July. I will need some light, fun romance to cleanse my palette. It is on our recommended list right now for the next GA Peach Nominees. It sounds as if you think it might belong in those 20 books a bunch of librarians put out there each year for teens to read and rate to vote for the winners.

I need to look into the Street Corner Challenge thing. Tell me more if you feel like it. :)


Kristy It has recieved excellent reviews on here for the most part... There is something about it I just couldnt help but fall in love with. Street corner challenge is a group on here.....


Suzanne cool. I will look into it. Maybe I'll ask to join in next summer when I'll be all done with Peach Award stuff. Take care.
