This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I am going to give this a different rating that I have ever given before but I feel that this book does deserve it. I'm going to give it a 4.75 stars because that's how close it's to a five stars it is for me. Just missed the five mark.

Well, I've heard lots and lots of people talk about this book and just how much the people rave over it and Etienne St. Clair. So I was curious to read it for myself and saw it in the library and right away and see what the fuss was about and why so many people ...more

I LOVED this book! The relationship between Anna and St. Clair is a total roller coaster ride throughout the book. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. I loved the chemistry between the main characters and their developing friendship throughout the book. I also liked how Anna grew more sure of herself as the book went on. I wasn't expecting some of the twists and turns (Bridge for one), but I was impressed with how Anna dealt with that and the other stuff that happened as she matured through ...more

I really just want to KEYSMASH my feelings on this book. I cannot even begin to express my love for it. It was PERFECT. And St. Clair, OH, St. Clair....WHERE ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU NOT IN MY LIFE!?

I heard excellent things about this, and my expectations were quite high for this, and I was NOT proven wrong. It actually exceeded my expectations. The writing, the characters, the emotions, it was all there. And it was perfect. Stephanie Perkins is a fantastic writer. She has a great career, and lot ...more

There Meredith, Rashimi, Josh, Ellie (who graduated last year and is at Parson's Paris for photography) and then Etienne St. Clair who gorgeous and is of course, dating Ellie. Anna crushes on Etienne hard, (view spoiler) ...more

This book is adorable! While my main faults were small, the good of this book far outweighs the minor nitpicking. My faults were things such Anna's reaction to the early fall weather in Paris (um, you're from ATLANTA?!), and the fact that a Southerner would not call sneakers anything but tennis shoes. Also, her mom was somehow okay with her dad shipping her off to boarding school in France? WTF?! But, that's about the extent of my faults. The rest I loved! Anna was realistic as a scared and home ...more

This is the perfect summer beach read! It not only has a variety of friendships and relationships, but there are movie and book references throughout the story. I love the Paris culture and landmarks, along with British snip-its thrown in as well! Thank you for a fantastic read, Stephanie Perkins!
