It’s about a girl falling in love with a boy in the most romantic place in the world, Paris. Our main characters are Anna Oliphant and Etienne St. Clair. Anna, from Atlanta, Georgia, will be moving to Paris to finish her senior year in high school at the School of America in Paris. There she met Etienne or “St. Clair”, great hair, wonderful face, perfect English accent, what else can you ask for? Struggling to fit in her new school or more like her new world, she started to make friends eventual It’s about a girl falling in love with a boy in the most romantic place in the world, Paris. Our main characters are Anna Oliphant and Etienne St. Clair. Anna, from Atlanta, Georgia, will be moving to Paris to finish her senior year in high school at the School of America in Paris. There she met Etienne or “St. Clair”, great hair, wonderful face, perfect English accent, what else can you ask for? Struggling to fit in her new school or more like her new world, she started to make friends eventually and one of them is Etienne. Living the daily life of Anna, it amazes me how beautiful Paris really is even though I’m just seeing it from her point of view and her stories. Their post-love feelings can’t seem to move forward even though everything from their mind and body to their very romantic environment is telling them that they are right for each other. One is because Etienne has a girlfriend and Anna has a pseudo-boyfriend and number two both is suffering from family crisis. Nevertheless, in the end they defied everything and they ended up together and finds comfort in each other’s arm.

I admire St. Clair’s character. It’s very deep and very absurd since he is an A-list guy. We all know what a top notched guy is during his high school years. But he is different. The development of his character is quite good and I admire him for his attitude and thinking. Definitely the type of guy that girls look for.

This is a five star kind of book. It’s very mushy and comforting. The kind of book you can read when it’s raining or having your tea time. Favorite part of the book is the Thanksgiving Day of our main characters. The experienced was titillating and it was very sweet. Least favorite was at the latter part of the story wherein Anna was accused of being a slut and all. It just annoyed me especially when I know the book is already ending and it has happened. The book is so compelling, it’s not mushy disgusting but it’s just so sweet and warm. I can’t believe that I’ve waited this long before reading it hahaha! Anna’s character is very fun and exciting. She might have that girly-girl syndrome in some parts but it’s in a good way. The lesson is very nice also. That home is not just a place but also a person. So cheesy I know :P

I RECOMMEND it to everyone! It’s a must read. I should have read it before. Looking forward for Lola and the Boy Next Door :)
