Cheating trope 🤢 Ugh, the cheating trope. Just…ugh. Not a fan. At all. "Anna and the French Kiss" by Stephanie Perkins features it, and it just soured the whole experience for me. I went in wanting a cute YA romance set in Paris, and I got… infidelity issues. Hard pass. If you're looking for book reviews that steer clear of cheating, this one's for you: avoid "Anna and the French Kiss".

Is there anything this godforsaken year *won't* take from me?Is nothing sacred? Is no offense too far?I am suffering. Massively.Actually, I was already suffering. "Rereading my favorite book from when I was 15 for the sixth time" doesn't exactly scream ~mentally stable~.And yet, the universe must've decided I deserved *more* suffering, maybe for that middle school Justin Bieber phase when I argued with someone in eighth grade chemistry who said JBiebz was auto-tuned, pointing out the exact momen...

When I was four, I fell out of a tree. I hit the ground face first. What I didn't know was that there was a very small, sharp root sticking out of the ground at the base of the tree. It went right through my cheek. I went to the ER but had to wait until 2 a.m. because it was a busy night. I sat there for hours in that ER with a hole in my cheek. When the doctor finally saw me, he figured that since it was a busy night and the ER was packed, he'd just sew up my cheek without waiting for anestheti...

“I cheated on her every day. In my mind, I thought of you in ways I shouldn’t have, again and again. She was nothing compared to you. I’ve never felt this way about anybody before—” What's the saying? Once a cheater, always a cheater? Oh, the freaking hypocrisy.There were many things I wanted to do to Anna Oliphant throughout this book. Some of them involve a bottle of chloroform, a shovel, and an unmarked grave. Mostly, I just want to bring Anna in front of the US Congress as an example of h...

Update after reading this book for the THIRD time: Etienne. ETIENNE. The boy of my dreams (well...second place after Will Herondale, but still, that's a high honor). Stephanie Perkins is one of my favorite YA contemporary writers because she has this way of writing books (which really sound SO cheesy plot and title-wise) that leaves you in a puddle of happy tears and hormones after the last page. *Anna and the French Kiss* has this inexplicable quality that even after reading it multiple times, ...

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, *Anna and the French Kiss* by Stephanie Perkins is seriously adorable. It's all about wealthy white teenagers dealing with first-world problems. Our heroine, Anna, gets plucked from Georgia and "abandoned" by her parents at a boarding school for rich American teens in Paris, where she, naturally, bursts into tears at the sheer injustice of it all.Intrigued? That's just the start of this wild ride.Sadly, my hopes for a dramatic *Taken*-style twist were dashed as the entir...

This is seriously one of the most adorable, feel-good teen romances I've ever devoured. It's got everything you could want: humor, a protagonist you actually root for, and Etienne St. Clair, a guy who's completely swoon-worthy. Honestly, you could fall in love with just the *name*, even before you realize he's sweet, kind, honest, and nothing like any of the British boys I grew up with. "Anna and the French Kiss" by Stephanie Perkins is a very *cute* book, a very *nice* book. Neither of those th...

So, Anna gets stuck going to boarding school in Paris (I know, right? *Poor thing*), and she falls hard for a guy who's already got a girlfriend. They spend the whole time flirting and obsessing over each other while he's still with the other girl. And to really put the cherry on top of Anna’s misery sundae, she then gets all worked up at her friend who does something *terrible*: her friend dates a boy that Anna thought was into *her*. Life's just so unfair, isn't it? I gave **Anna and the Fren...

I found this online... NOW WHY COULDN'T THIS BE THE ACTUAL COVER?!St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. St. Clair. ST. CLAIR!!!!Can’t I just fill this review with his name instead of explaining how much I effing LOVED *Anna and the French Kiss* and trying to describe in vivid detail how beautiful and amazing and gorgeous and se...
