When ppl were recommending this book saying that it was a really great one, they were not exaggerating. This book had me hooked from the first paragraph. From that very first page I liked the tone of the book and wanted to read everything Anna had to tell me.
The thought of reading about contemporary teenagers without a paranormal element,with few exceptions, has been pretty much out of the question for me. I even banned the Gossip Girls and Clique books from my now teen daughter. I try to keep an open mind as to what she reads and she's pretty smart, but I had one look at those books and they left a bad taste in my mind.
Anna and the French Kiss however, is NOTHING like those books. I'm not saying the characters are goody two shoes,w they are not!. But that is actually what I like most about the story. Ettiene is NOT too perfect, not physically, not personality wise, but yet somehow he is awesome. The imperfections as described only make him seem more real. He's described as being short and with crooked teeth. I think the last book I read when 6+ feet and straight white teeth were not described in the main male character was in Jane Eyre!
Anna herself is a great heroine. Just the gap in her teeth had me liking her already.
I did not want this book to end, I loved it from the beginning, I was never bored or irritared with the characters or the situations they were in. Not that agreed with everything that was going one, but I liked them so much I just felt like giving them the benefit of the doubt and read everything till the end before I formed a full opinion.

5 stars all the way!
