Kisses and Croissants, by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau, was a delightful read. I loved the characters and Paris was the perfect setting. What made it different from other YA rom-comes was the intensity of a summer ballet program. I truly felt immersed in the world of ballet, almost with as much passion as Mia.
Mia attends the prestigious summer ballet program in the hopes of scoring an audition with ABT at the end of the summer. Her nemesis, Audrey, also attends the program, and they end up as roommates. While Mia tires to focus on ballet 100%, two things pull her focus: a family legend that her great-great-great-great grandmother was painted by Degas and a cute French boy named Louis. Mia has to figure out what is truly important to her. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but there is, of course, a twist.
Let’s just say that I want to be Mia when I grow up. Her passion and zest for life struck a chord with me. I can’t wait to recommend this to my students. And I can’t wait to go get a croissant.

The Paris setting was really fun but the characters were a little bland

Super quick and cute read! The plot twist was super random at the end and I don't think it really belonged in the book?

Mia Jenrow dream dog dancing at American Ballet Theater, but after being rejected from their summer intensive, she is accepted into The Paris Opera House. She travels to Paris for her six week intensive, completely focused on ballet- but will she find love too?
I really, really liked this book. The characters were good, the setting was really good, and the ballet was amazing. Everything was good. It was a good book, and it had an awesome premise. It but all the right marks, and it was a beautiful story. I liked the focus on other plot lines as well as the romance, like the friendship between Mia and her roommate (I can’t remember her name

Mia and Louis are not good for eachother, I mean everytime they get back together, something bad happens.. so frustrating. And Louis only saw Mia in a romantical way, after she wore this fancy outfit, that wasn't like her normal outfits at all.
