Amelia's Book Room: Anna and the French Kiss

Hey guys, I'm back! I had a pretty busy holiday season, dancing in the Nutcracker Ballet and getting a cold and lots of other fun stuff. But most importantly, I read lots of books! So let's get to it.

This week I bring you the first book I actually finished in 2011; I stayed up super late a few days after New Years reading it, it was so good! Anna and the French Kiss was actually recommended by Vlogbrother and young adult author John Green in this video; that was how I found out about it. And boy, am I glad he mentioned it! Stephanie Perkins' debut novel is fantastic.

We jump right into the story of Anna, whose father has inexplicably sent her away to a boarding school in Paris for her senior year of high school. Anna barely speaks any French, and is homesick already, but luckily she gets taken in by sporty and sweet Meredith and her friends; Josh and Rashmi, the couple who, when they're not making out, are arguing about something, and Etienne St. Clair. Wonderful, funny, English, charming St. Clair... who has a girlfriend.

As St. Clair shows her Paris and the two become close friends, Anna tries her best, but it's hopeless--she falls head over heels for him. And it seems like he's falling too. But of course, there's his girlfriend, and Anna was just starting to get serious with a boy back home.

This is an adorable, sweet, hilarious romance, that I know you guys will love. Beautifully written, with lovable, real characters and just heartbreaking in parts, it's already my favorite book of 2011, and I have a feeling it'll be at the top of my list for a while!

It feels good to be back! Tell me, what did you all read over the holidays? I want to know :)
