Here is a book I've been meaning to read for a long, long time. But as it often is with me and books... for some reason, I didn't.
Anybody cares to join me in beating myself up over that? I'm really happy that when I won a giveaway for a book of my choice from a list, I chose this one, as Anna and the French kiss was just sooo good; it was gripping, well written, with captivating characters and a sweet romance and it was just so. damn. cute! If you haven't read this one yet, I suggest you do.
I think one of the best thing about this book is Anna's voice, who is both the main character and the storyteller. It is just so authentic. I felt like her voice captured the essence, behavior and 'sound' and kids that age (i.e: my age!) so it was wonderful to read the story through her eyes.
Aside for that, she is a great main character. She's smart, awkward, funny, a good friend (even when she messes up), generous, a bit of a neat-freak, really attentive, sweet, strong but also weak at places. Plus, she likes writing movie reviews, which, as a reviewer myself (not a movie reviewer, though), has made me connect to her even more than I normally would.
Then there is Etienne (which I have no idea how to pronounce. St. Clair is easier to say, but Etienne is Etienne, so I'll use his real name anyways), who is bloody fantastic...
