Anna and the French Kiss, by Stephanie Perkins.
At least the people in my new school speak English. It was founded for pretentious Americans who don't like the company of their own children. I mean, really. Who sends their kid to boarding school? It's so Hogwarts. Only mine doesn't have cute boy wizards or magic candy or flying lessons.
This book was hilarious. It follows Anna, whose parents make her move to France to go to an American boarding school there for her senior year of high school, and her adventures in Paris, in particular with one boy she meets there. Anna reminded me a lot of Mia from The Princess Diaries in terms of tone of voice, and she has a lot of crazy people in her life that were interesting to "meet."
The author's next book, Lola and the Boy Next Door, is forthcoming in September of this year.
4.5 stars out of 5.
