The synopsis: Anna can't wait for her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a good job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. So she's not too thrilled when her father unexpectedly ships her off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair, the perfect boy. The only problem? He's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her crush back home. Will a year of romantic near-misses end in the French kiss Anna awaits?


My thoughts: I'm a total judge a book by it's cover kind of gal, and while I think this is a stupid cute cover, I would have and did totally pass this book over for months, until the reviews popped up on all my favorite book blogs, so I went to the bookstore and grabbed it, read the book jacket, and was sold when I saw the author's picture and read her bio details.  She's fun!  She's whimsical!  She's funny!   You know what?  Anna is one of the most likable, relatable characters in a book that I've seen in a very long time.  And Etienne?  Well, I swooned.  Several times.  Even with his dumbness over his status, it was all well-intentioned and he truly seemed pained to hurt anybody.  Their love was one for the books (pun not intended, I swear), and I only wish I could find something that leaps out as so right and perfect some day.  I'm totally into the this trilogy.
