This was a surprisingly good book. I was expecting a book that was extremely cheesy and that I would barely be able to finish. While this book was definitely cheesy, it was also a really cute read. I loved how all of the characters were full characters and not just worthless side ones.
Now some of my thoughts while reading this: (spoilers)
pg 66: Anna goes on about how her FAMILY MOTTO WAS ACTUALLY FRENCH! Couldn’t st Clair have just translated it? There was literallly no explanation for why that was so ch a revelation or even why there was a revelation
pg 70: Shebang? Shebang is considered fancy now? Girl your in Paris for gods sake shebang isn’t fancy no matter who’s mouth it comes out of.
pg 300: Can someone please tell me why tf mike renoylds (Dave’s friend) just peed in how shower bc he DIDNT WANT TO WAIT FOR THE BATHROOMS!? There are only 100 kids at your school it can’t be that long of a wait that you have to pee in the shower!!
pg 372: "Home, isn’t a place. It’s a person.” The fact that they are seniors in hs makes this phrase kinda weird like I would expect to hear that from my parents who have been married for twenty years not two teenagers that just finally decided that they both would actually be together and stop dragging on the other people that they have feelings for as well.

Not great, a pretty average YA romance. It was cute, just not remarkable or special in any way. Honestly it’s pretty forgettable.

Such a cute book, I have read it as a teen and as an adult. It's youthful and fun, but there are a few challenges thrown in to keep things feeling real. Guaranteed a happy ending!!
