Este libro es perfecto. No tengo ninguna cosa negativa que decir acerca de el. Me encantó la historia y los personajes. Fue divertido y no pude parar de leerlo.

La historia comienza cuando Anna, una chica adolescente de 17 años, es enviada a Francia a terminar la escuela. Desde el comienzo vemos como Anna no siente ganas de estudiar en un internado al otro lado del mundo. Ella no quiere dejar a sus amigos ni su vida en los Estados Unidos. Pero luego se da cuenta de que las cosas no son tan malas ...more

Okay no.Not that much.But I was looking for a light-read and I think Anna and the French Kiss was the best choice.

Let me start off by saying that the parts that I loved, I LOVED, and the parts that I didn't like, I really didn't like. There were aspects of this book that I thought were original, and other parts that I thought were cliche. Let me break it down:
Pros: I loved the concept of Anna going to live in France! I thought this was super cute, and I could easily relate to her at the beginning of the book. I also had never French, so I thought it would be a lot of fun to watch her adjust to her new life. ...more

WARNING: This book will make you laugh, cry, and give you extremely high expectations in men.

I LOVED this book. I loved the writing style, I thought the setting was perfect and surprisingly I liked the main character. The story was very sweet and heart warming and will make you want to go to Pari and find your own Étienne St. Clair. Très bien Stephanie Perkins, très bien!

Alright, the summary. Yea. I know. It makes it sound like it's just a regular teen romance novel. But, I guarantee you, this novel is not just a regular YA novel, it is an amazing novel. The way Stephanie Perkins wrote this novel is incredible. The story plot was very easy to believe. Even their relationship was believable. I couldn't relate to the charact Omgosh. I love St.Clair.

Alright, the summary. Yea. I know. It makes it sound like it's just a regular teen romance novel. But, I guarantee you, this novel is not just a regular YA novel, it is an amazing novel. The way Stephanie Perkins wrote this novel is incredible. The story plot was very easy to believe. Even their relationship was believable. I couldn't relate to the characters, but that's because I've never been in their situation before.

I love the way it's written! When I started this novel, right when we met St.Clair, I liked him immediately, especially because he has a British accent. I like how Stephanie had written it so that St.Clair says the words "me mum" and "shite" throughout the whole novel. It makes it more realistic because it's keeping true that St.Clair is British and that it is appropriate for him to use those words.

Anna is the main protagonist. The story is centered on her relationship with St.Clair. However, there are other characters too, Rashmi, Josh, Meredith, Amanda, Toph and many more. They're supporting characters, but I like how Stephanie Perkins makes it so that they're not just in the background, but they're mainly part of the story too. They're just needed in the story. Period.

Truth be told, I liked Anna as the main character. She was a very well written character. She could be annoying at times, but seriously, everyone is annoying at a lot of points in their life. So, that made it more interesting and realistic. Although, I think she could've handled some problems better, but heck(whatever), her life was in chaos. THE NEXT SENTENCE IS A SPOILER.Her friends abandoned her sometime in the book or maybe they betrayed her(I'll leave it a mystery, so you'll have to read the book to know), and St.Clair has a girlfriend and she keeps stressing out why he's not breaking up with her.

St.Clair is awesome! I love him. Yea..too bad he isn't real. Omgosh. Did that surprise you? I'm sorry, let me repeat : St.Clair isn't real. He's never existed in reality, except inside your mind. I mean, Stephanie's writing is so realistic that you thought he was real. Right?! Right. His relationship with her was very enjoyable to read. They got into arguments, they did some irresponsible things, but it's easy to connect to with real life, where anyone could simply do what they did. I just can't get over how Stephanie wrote this book! It's fascinating to read, and every time I have to set the book down, the only thing on my mind would be this book. Heck, it would take me an hour to fall asleep! ...more

This book was just as good, if not better, then Lola. It was the perfect cute contemprary read. Stephanie Perkins' books have shown me that contemprary is not boring. They actually do make you feel things. Gasp! Anyway this book had its minor flaws but I still loved it. 5/5 stars!

The main thing I loved about this book, besides the romance, was the setting. I mean come on, it's Paris! I've always wanted to go visit Paris. I enjoyed the little tours Étienne took Anna on to sightsee.

This was a really good book! I don't even remember how many times I fell for St. Clair :)
It was very heart-touching, and (at some points) a suspenseful book! Whenever people embarrass themselves or say something they didn't mean to say I always feel like its happening to me so turned red and said a couple "WHAT WAS SHE THINKING"'s a few times :) Overall I really liked it! You should read it if u haven't! It goes really fast! ...more

This book carried emotions so genuine that I would often mistake these characters to be real people instead of what they really are in theory: fictional. I laughed and cried and loved this book that I just wanted it to last forever.
In a nutshell: It's adorable and heartwarming stuff. ...more
