It’s hard to feel sorry for Anna—she is spending her senior
year of high school at a boarding school right in the middle of Paris where she
quickly meets a new group of friends and begins to explore her new city and
learns to enjoy the newfound freedom of living on her own. But Anna isn’t
happy. Her father forced this new life on her and took her away from her
hometown of Atlanta, her best friend Bridgette, and her almost-boyfriend, Toph.
At first Anna spends time e-mailing Bridgette and planning her reunion with
Toph (the last time she saw him they kissed but she’s not sure where they stand
now). But when she meets handsome, charming Étienne St. Clair she can’t stop
herself from falling for him. The only problem is that he already has a
girlfriend. And even if he didn’t, her new friend Meredith clearly has a
long-standing crush on him. But St. Clair seems to like Anna—at least he likes
taking her around Paris, going to movies, and sitting by her at every meal.
What’s a girl to do in the most romantic city on earth? How can she hide her
feelings for him? And how can she be “best friends” with someone she loves so
much? This is a predictable yet fun romance with a fine romantic setting and believable characters. Recommended for high school romantics and world travelers. (FYI—except for some well, French kissing, and teenage drinking this book is pretty innocent. It would be fine for 8th graders on up.)
