Wanting a fun chick-lit book to read ? Ever been inspired to visit Paris - The City of Lights :)
Check out Stephanie Perkin's Debut Novel "Anna and the French Kiss".
Review: Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins- December 2010
Ever dreamed of heading off to Paris - The City of Lights ? For Anna, heading to Paris was the one thing that she didn't want to do , why oh why would anyone especially her parents think that uprooting her from her life in Atlanta, Georgia and dumping her in Paris would be the right thing to do ? Anna's father - bestselling author James Ashley has enrolled Anna for the year at SOAP - School of Americans in Paris. Anna and the French Kiss chronicles her journey into discovering the language of Love , meeting new friends and leaving old ones behind and more importantly - what it's like to truly have guy problems. We discover that Anna's heart is torn in two as she is in love with Toph back home in Atlanta and St Clair in Paris, though of course the dilemma strikes worse when St Clair has a girlfriend and it seems he may have a flock of crushes. Is Anna just another one of St Clair's crushes as they start to spend quality time together or is their passion underlining their friendship ? Anna and The French Kiss is a fast-paced read , that all will enjoy and won't want to put down , the only downside for me was the chemistry between Anna and St Clair seemed to drag on for a bit and in parts you'd feel frustrated and scream come on Anna and St Clair - hurry up and do something lol. :) Anna and The French Kiss falls as a transistion novel between the I'm too old to read Teens but not yet old enough to read Adults.
Overall ,an excellent read and I'm looking forward to now reading Stephanie's next novel "Lola and the Boy Next Door".

    You won't regret reading it . I had had it sitting on my TBR Pile for ages but I was a tad wary as though it went through a popular sweep, sometimes the popular reads can turn out disappointing but this was one of those OMG Books :)

    He's dreamy. He's tall. He's hot. He has an accent. He showers Anna with attention. Basically, he's perfect. At least Anna thinks so, until she truly gets to know him. She quickly learns that he has his own personal demons to wrangle (mainly his dad), and that the overwhelming good looks he possesses are not the best thing about him. The two go on a journey of discovery in this book, taking the reader along for an enchanting ride. Set against the beautiful city of Paris (seriously, if Ms. Perkins has never been there, she is one heck of a great researcher!), Anna and the French Kiss is a love story at its finest.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
