Bra ya-bok som jag kan rekommendera att läsa. Mycket character development och karaktärer är relaterbara. Läsvärd och något av en klassiker. Underhållande läsning!

First of all, the setting was amazing. I love Europe, so being able to read in about such a wonderful place in such detail was so cool!! This book seriously made me want to live in my own foreign, French boarding school.
Even though it's set in Paris, the characters still managed to portray stereotypical highschoolers, which is definitely appreciated. I think this aspect of the story is what made the book even more realistic, because it definitely becomes obvious to not just the reader, but the main character as well, that teenage life in America and Paris is pretty similar.
It definitely could have been a 5-star read if the reader could have been given a little more. I feel like the beginning and middle went really slowly, and the ending was extremely fast. I wish we could have been given more time with St. Clair and Anna, and also more time to see how the other relationships healed and continued on (Anna and Bridge, Anna and Mer, Ellie in general...?). I also wish there was a little bit more of a backstory told for most characters.
definitely reread material ✅
