True Review

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins Publication Date: December 2nd, 2010 Published By: Dutton (A Penguin Group) Hardcover, 372 Pages Source: Gift Summary from Goodreads: "Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?" My Review: *****+ = 5+ Stars Anna and the French Kiss is as mouthwatering as the parisian treats that Stephanie describes throughout the pages of this book. As the stor...

Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler Published May 1st , 2010 (Originally Published June 1st, 2009) Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers Paperback, 290 Pages Source : Birthday Present Summary from Goodreads: "   " Don't worry, Anna. I'll tell her, okay? Just let me think about the best way to do it." "Okay." "Promise me? Promise you won't say anything?" "Don't worry." I laughed. "It's our secret, right?" According to her best friend Frankie, twenty days in ZanzibarBay is the perfect opportunity to have a summer fling, and if they meet one boy ever day, there's a pretty good chance Anna will find her first summer romance. Anna lightheartedly agrees to the game, but there's something she hasn't told Frankie—-she's already had that kind of romance, and it was with Frankie's older brother, Matt, just before his tragic death one year ago. Beautifully written and emotionally hon...
