"Here is everything I know about France: Madeline and Amelie and Moulin Rouge"
And so begins one of the sweetest young adult novels I have read in a long time. I could not resist especially when my favorite movie is listed in the first sentence and Hogwarts is casually name dropped on page 2.
I've heard a lot of great reviews about this book and they are well deserved. A simple story of Anna being sent to a Parisian boarding school who crushes on her best friend, the charming and handsome Etienne St. Clair. It has swoon-worthy moments the likes of the Twilight series, but this Stephanie author is a much better writer than the other Stephenie. The characters are realistic and likable and the story takes place in Paris. It is not overly sappy, cliched, or drawn out, it only makes me wish I was a teenager again on the cusp of puppy love.
Can't wait for more from this author.
