Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

We love to read books, and to talk about books. Check out our entire series here! Need more book chatting and suggestions in your life? Our book group podcast Reading with Libraries resumes this Thursday! Listen to the previous season here.

When it starts to feel like summer, a lighthearted romance that takes place in Paris is always a good idea! I first heard about this book during our book group podcast episode about the genre of Romance, and have since noticed it on numerous lists of “feel-good” books. So far it is definitely an enjoyable story, perfect to read while relaxing in your hammock!

From Goodreads: “Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris–until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all…including a serious girlfriend.

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?”
