Over the years I’ve heard a lot of love for Stephanie Perkins and I used the readathon as an excuse to pick up her first book, Anna and the French Kiss. It’s sweet and easy read with a dash of humour. I liked it but I didn’t fall in love. I was imminently jealous of their school restaurant though. Mmmm fresh baked bread for breakfast every day!

I’m pretty happy that Anna gets called up on her stereotyping later on in the book. Yes, we all do it to some extent, but I’m glad it was made clear that’s just what she was doing when she made assumptions about the French, or what they would assume about her. And finally, an author that knows the difference between English and British. Thank you for calling Etienne’s accent English!
