Anna's father, a famous author of sappy tragic romances (who I picture as Nicholas Sparks) decides she needs to be more cultured and spend her senior year of High School at a Paris boarding school. Anna is less than thrilled to uproot her whole life, leaving behind her crush, her little brother, her mom, and her awesome job at the local Cineplex. Despite knowing no French (and thankfully being enrolled in an American/English language boarding school) Anna soon makes friends, and finds out maybe a cute boy named Etienne will make the whole thing worth it. But, oops, he has a girlfriend...

I really had fun reading this, and enjoyed seeing how each character worked out his/her issues. I loved seeing Anna grow up and grow to love her new life, and her banter with Etienne was hilarious, steamy, and super cute. Her adorkable geeky-ness was really endearing and I loved that she was a movie buff and aspiring film critic.

What prevented me from giving this an additional star was the whole "I have a girlfriend but sure I'll sleep in your bed, hold your hand, spend all sorts of time with you but not break up with her" baloney. Yes, boys do this, but usually (always) boys who do this don't ever dump the girl for you, and if they do they will probably pull the same crap on you in the future. Buyer beware! I was like seriously Etienne, get it together dump the girl already! I am glad though that Anna explored her options and didn't spend the entire book pining away a la Bella Swan. Good girl. Smooch ALL the boys :)
