As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna - and readers - have long awaited?
My first review of Anna and the French Kiss
My Review:
I had a great time reading this book again, it was just so easy to read, and I breezed right though it! And it's been over 9 years since I first read it, so I basically was reading it for the first time, because I forgot pretty much everything about it. It was just a relaxing read!
I said in my first review that it wasn't life or death, and that's true to a degree, because Etienne's mom does have cancer, and she could die. But what I'd meant was that there was no one out there that was trying to kill them. They had to deal with the stressors in their lives, from school to romantic relationships as well as friendships, which is much lighter.
These characters are complicated and messy. As they both discover, neither wants to be alone, from Anna fixating her attentions on Toph, to Ettienne not breaking up with Ella, well, they both cause a lot of conflict and emotional drama.
I had a great time reading this book again, and I can't wait to continue (and finish) this series! I can't wait to see Lola and Cricket again, and see Isla (and Josh!)

I do wish that we could've had some vindication, from Etienne putting down Amanda with the fact that he's dating Anna, to the school at large and Dave in particular, about the lies that he spread. Because they were awful and I wanted vengeance! And I know Etienne got to manipulate his dad into his college plans, but I wish he could've followed that up with a "so when are you signing the divorce papers" because that would've been the cherry on top!
