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. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home. As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near - misses end with the French kiss Anna - and listeners - have long awaited?

"Interesante. Comico. Te mantiene esperando todo el tiempo el momento en que pase algo entre los principales. Me molestaba que hubiese tantas dudas y nunca se dijeran las cosas de una buena vez, aunque si somos realistas yo haria lo mismo. Ame el desenlace, el mejor final en una historia de amor hasta ahora en todo lo que lei. Seguramente es porque es pura cursileria, cosa que me encanta."

" I'll admit that this is not my usual sort of thing, but I read it anyway because it got such rave reviews. It was supposed to be smart and funny and sweet, and well, it was sweet. It was an enjoyable read, don't get me wrong, but that's all. My main reaction was, meh. The characters felt hollow, like lists of attributes and preferences rather than people. I found myself not caring very much about them. I kept reading anyway because of said rave reviews expecting maybe some surprises in the end, hidden depths, but no, the ending was exactly what you expect. There is never any real doubt that Anna and St. Clair will get together in the end, the only question is, but seriously how long is this going to take for these two to have a remotely honest conversation. Those stakes are pretty damn low, especially as the entire thrust of the last third of the book makes the conversation inevitable. Basically, read this if you want a sweet love story in a picturesque setting and don't want anything particularly challenging or revelatory. "
— Varina, 2/12/2014" I got this book because the title made me laugh. It turned out to be a good YA story. The way she described the locations made you feel there. The only problem I had was with the two main characters, I hate the back and forth game that they do. But the ending was a surprising sweet way to finish the book. "
— Cortney, 1/7/2014" Romance novels and holiday seasons go together for me. Escape from to-do lists most likely. This book filled the need nicely! "
— L., 1/6/2014" Soooo freaking cute! Every part of this book reminded me of my love. "
— Tina, 1/2/2014" Este libro es encantador. Muy refrescante y adorable "
— Cris, 12/21/2013" Lovely book. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but who could resist St. Clair? I will admit, at first glance, I nearly put the book back down, but as soon as I read on, I was hooked. Definitely my favourite YA romance novel! "
— Danielle, 12/15/2013" I really really enjoyed this book, I would say it's closer to a 4.5 stars! My only issue was that I thought St Clair was being a bit sleazy with his relationship to his actual girlfriend and that made me feel unsettled. Other than that, the book was adorable and just a feel good story :) "
— Jamie-leigh, 12/15/2013" A sweet, lighter read that drew me in more than I expected. Funny and heartwarming. "
— Jordan, 9/27/2013" Beautiful and the final words of the book touched me heart. A well deserved stars "
— Victoria, 8/9/2013" A great light read, very predictable in parts but if you're into fanfiction you'll love the way its written. I loved it. "
— Caty, 5/12/2013" story was too slow for me. but it was ok. "
— Samantha, 1/1/2013" a fun, cute romance, but not for teens. there' s quite a few innuendos. "
— Missy, 12/12/2012" A feel good read! Not to mention the setting was in Paris..so yes u can fall in love with book! "
— Darlynmay12, 9/9/2012" This book was incredible! I loved it from beginning to end. It kept you wanting more. I could reread it a 1000 times. Also makes me want to visit Paris :) "
— Jesse, 9/8/2012" Such a cute story! I loved the simplicity of this story and fell in love Etienne and Anna's relationship. "
— Trine, 7/12/2012" I was told that the characters stick with you, and I'll readily believe that. This book is basically the antithesis of Twilight, in that it's a romantic story about teenagers in high school, but doesn't suck ass. Good job, Perkins. "
— Alice, 6/8/2012" Good read. Not as cheesy as the stupid title implies. "
— Dsbarringer, 4/26/2012" Really cute young adult book. Sometimes you just gotta read a little YA crush story. And this one is set in France, so extra fun. "
— Heather, 11/8/2011" I stayed up way too late a couple nights ago reading this. This is fun, whimsical, filled with interesting (realistic, I thought) teen characters--and, best of all, a strong romance. Not a lot of depth, necessarily, but lots of fun to read. "
— Rosalyn, 11/7/2011" Oohhh, so that's what everyone was talking about! Loved it, and no one had anything supernatural about them *gasp!* "
— Straylights, 11/6/2011" Gosh, I loved this book. Sorry Harry Potter, but if I was trapped on an island and only could bring one book, this one be the one. "
— Bookie, 11/6/2011" Definitely a case where you shouldn't judge the book by it's cover. I imagined a ditzy chick flick book, but I got a witty and very natural love story. There was depth to it, and a lot of heart. Don't take this book at face value, just read it. "
— Amie, 11/6/2011" Too much love. I need more YA in my life and more St. Clair and Anna "
— Patty, 11/1/2011" Yes, I got completely suckered in by a book with this cover and this title. I am 16 in my brain. "
— Julie, 11/1/2011" Awesome writer! I thought it was as good as Twilight! And, it was kinda refreshing to read a book without vampires, etc. :) <br/> "
— Angela, 10/31/2011" Super cute and quick read. I read it in 24 hours and was pretty entertained. Pretty well written for a high school live story. Will definitely read the companion books. Enjoyable! "
