Anna and the French Kiss
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

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. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.
As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?


In this book we follow Anna as she's sent to boarding school in Paris which made me feel instantly interested in the story, one of the main reasons I liked this book was because I was able to remember my previous visit to Paris. I recognized many places mentioned in the book and felt like I was there.


The day Anna arrives, she meets a guy, Etienne St. Clair a charming, handsome and popular boy that will become her love interest with a little problem, he's taken. I enjoyed following how their relationship grew with all their romantic misunderstandings and misassumptions. The downside for me was that sometimes I was annoyed by St. Claire's emotional issues and the way he handled the relationship with his girlfriend and Anna


I can't really go deep into the story, but overall, I liked the book and would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a sweet charming novel.

Unearthly Review

Unearthly (Unearthly - Trilogy)

Unearthly (Unearthly #1) by Cynthia Hand


In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . .

Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?


We follow Clara a quarter-angel as she moves to Wyoming to complete her life's mission. Led by her mother, she tries to figure out the details of her visions but there are so many questions and her mother is not eager to answer all.

There is some romantic tension, that made this book even more enjoyable, things are going to get a little harder when Clara comes close to fulfill her purpose and the book turns more interesting at every page.

Cynthia Hand made a book that's hard to put down, it is a well written teenage love story. I enjoyed the mythology in the book and the realism of the characters .

Overall I believe this book has a lot of potential for the next installment of the trilogy.


Love or Duty, what would be her decision?
