Summary: Quirky Anna Oliphant is forced to spend her senior year in Paris, France, the place that everyone dreams of going. That is... everyone except Anna. She'd rather be back home in Atlanta where she knows everything. Her whole experience is flipped when she meets dashing british-accented Etienne St. Clair. But, he has a girlfriend. And she's interested in someone else... is she?
Non-Spoiler Review: Why the hell are you still here? After reading my summary, don't you want to read it? If you still don't, then OMG JUST READ IT. I promise you that it's not as cheesy as it sounds... I mean, it is, but it isn't...? Moving on, you will fall in love with all of the characters and feel like you are actually best friends with them. Their conversations are so realistic and so fun! The relationship between Anna and Etienne really develops in front of your eyes. The book literally has love radiating off of it. I never expected to love a simple contemporary book as much as I did with this baby.
Spoiler-y Review: YOU READ IT CONGRATS YOU ARE NOW MY BEST FRIEND. Am I the only one who thought of Night Changes by One Direction because it's about how you only live once and doing different things and taking on changes? That is literally such a perfect song for the story. The story doesn't start off on a high note. Anna is crying because her parents left her in FRANCE, like who wouldn't cry? The Mer and her become friends and she meets the oh-so beautiful Etienne St Clair. I had this instinct that told me Mer liked Etienne ad then I knew that her and Anna's friendship was doomed. But, you can't even hate Meredith because she's the effing nicest person ever. Ellie, however, was much easier to hate. Not only because she was getting in the way of the destined couple, she is actually rude. She just left her friends like that and she thinks she so much better than them. To be honest, I didn't even really feel bad when she and Etienne broke it. Their relationship really escalates from the movie theater subtle touching to full out sleeping in the same bed. They do go fast and it's frustrating when Etienne goes back to Ellie, but I think that's how you're supposed to feel. I actually detested when after he had slept in Anna's bed, he basically ignored it and almost dismissed Anna. She had the absolute right to be mad at him. I don't know about you, but I cried when Etienne was telling Anna exactly how he felt about her through the year. Literal relationship goals.Rating: 9.5/10
