My Review:

“I have a new city to learn next year, but I'm not scared. Because I was right. For the two of us, home isn't a place. It's a person. And we're finally home.”

I'm completely in love with this book, it's fun, cute and romantic at the same time. Stephanie did a great job with the novel, it's very well-written and full of history (of one of my favorite cities in the entire world... Paris) Right from the start I could see that Anna was going to be a great character to explore, not only is she funny, but also smart (when it comes to her passion for films). Anna and the French kiss is about Anna, a girl who gets sent to boarding school in Paris. Being sent to Paris for her Senior year, Anna is mad at her father, (a very well-known novelists) for sending her away from her family, best friend, and her almost boyfriend. But her loneliness doesn't last long, because that's where she gets to meet Etienne, an American with a British accent student that immediately draws her attention. They both embark into an adventure full of history, love, betrayal, and hope. Although there there were times when Etienne completely pissed me off for his lack of making the right choices, there was definitely something attractive about him that made me happy whenever he was with Anna. I loved their chemistry, and as the story progressed, it became a fun read for me. Stephanie has sparked a new interest in me, going to Paris has always been my dream, and now I'm definitely considering going there very soon. :) 

I would completely recommend this story to those readers that love history and a good romance novel, full of funny scenes and cute guys!
