This book sounded like a middle schooler’s diary.īut don’t worry, Anna isn’t the only annoying person we find in SOAP! With only 100 total students, SOAP still manages to have every single high school cliche in the book. She is completely boy crazy, self absorbed and just…immature. First of all, her voice comes across as super immature she reads like a 12 year old (and she’s supposed to be 17?). So once poor little Anna moves to SOAP we get to see her personality, which comes out in her interactions with others. This is a complete TRAGEDY because despite getting the once in a lifetime experience to live in a foreign country (in arguably the most romantic city in the world, might I add), meet new people, gain insight on a new culture, not have to work, and STILL get an education in English with Americans, Anna has to move away from her BFF and her crush and at her work. Sometimes they make me so super duper happy and become some of my all time favorite books!! And sometimes…they don’t.Īnna and the French Kiss opens up with high school senior Anna being forced to move to Paris, France and attend the SOAP (School of America in Paris). Sometimes I sit down and I want a fluffy contemporary novel that’s easy to read and will surely make me feel good, even if it’s a little bit ridiculous and far from reality.

Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-a waited French kiss? Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all…including a serious girlfriend.īut in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris–until she meets Étienne St. 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.
