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. She is less than thrilled about being shipped
off to boarding school in Paris until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect,
Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and
utterly irresistible. The only problem?
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 happily?
