Love. Love. Love. Love. LOVE!
So... Yeah. It was okay. I guess ;o)
This book gave me nervous butterflies and tingles from my toes to my chest. And it happened a lot. Which to me equals an absolute, top notch, favourite read. I am officially in love.
I graduated high school 6 years ago. Do you think it's too late for me to go back - in France, of course - and repeat Year 12 and find my own Etienne?
I cannot believe how much I enjoyed this book. Seriously. This isn't so much a classy, well written review as it is a fan-girl-swooning-over-the-story rant, but my mind doesn't want to do much more than that right now.
B-E-A-utiful. <3

“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?"
"Rubbish. Crap. Shite."
Pants. Oh heavens, that's cute.”

“Please. The boy gets a boner every time you walk into the room."
My eyes pop back open. Does she mean that figuratively or has she actually seen something? No. Focus, Anna.”

“Most people in Atlanta don't have an accent. It's pretty urban. A lot of people speak gangsta, though," I add jokingly.
"Fo' shiz," he replies in his polite English accent.
I spurt orangey-red soup across the table. St. Clair gives a surprised ha-HA kind of laugh, and I'm laughing too, the painful kind like abdominal crunches. He hands me a napkin to wipe my chin. "Fo'. Shiz." He repeats it solemnly.
Cough cough. "Please don't ever stop saying that. It's too-" I gasp. "Much."
"You oughtn't to have said that. Now I shall have to save it for special occasions."
"My birthday is in February." Cough choke wheeze. "Please don't forget.”
― Anna and the French Kiss

“Har. Bloody. Har."
He smiles. "Oh, I see. Known me less than a day and teasing me about my accent. What's next? Care to discuss the state of my hair? My height? My trousers?"
Trousers. Honestly.”

LOL your review made me smile. :P Fan girl away, I'm right there with ya. :)
Love this!
*has about 64 Bruce Almighty jokes floating around in her head*Love your review ^^
Its on my 'To Read' list and it can't come quick enough after reading all these 5 star reviews!
Haha, thanks Arlene and Tina :oP I finished reading it at about midnight so it probably didn't help my 'intelligent' thoughts about the book by rambling as I did, but hey. LOL Kim - I know. I love that movie. Couldn't help myself ;oP Thank you, hehe.
I hope you get a copy soon, Janelle! It's great!
;). Your review is great! Jessica and I are enrolling in French boarding school, do you want to join us? ;D
Thanks Janina :oP Hehe.Oh, I'm SO there. My bag is packed and good to go ;o)
Yay girls! Paris, here we come!
btw, was it me or anna's father's job was stephanie perkins's kind-of-"tribute" to nicholas sparks's books? xDD
Yup, our friend Janina pointed that out to us, too.
I adored this book!! The author is bringing out another book in September 2011 called "Lola and the Boy Next Door". :)
Yeah, there's a third as well, they're both companions to Anna :o) Already on my 'priority' list ;o)
Wuhoo!!! Hopefully both books will have characters that meet my Etienne standards :P Have you read "Jessicas Guide to Dating on the Darkside"? I am so excited for the sequel!! But I have no idea when it comes out :S Let me know if you ever want book suggestions. I have the hugest pile of books to get through this year, so I'm always finding great new authors!! I've just started the "My Soul to..." series by Rachel Vincent. I've had them for ages and decided it was finally time to get around to them and the first one was really good. I'm starting the second one tonight!! :)
You're so right! Love your review and the book
