the writing annoyed me slightly from time to time (see below) and so did the characters, but overall it was a fairly enjoyable read. i still think

st clair should've broken up with ellie pretty much immediately

thoughts while reading

ch 1: anna's father is giving ✨john green✨
ch 6: does toph really seriously prefer toph to chris???
ch 8: i don't mean to be too picky or judgemental as a reader who's not an author myself, but instead of "I wonder aloud if he's also an artist", couldn't she just wonder aloud?? like...with speech bubbles?
ch 8: oh for fluff's sake stop attractioning him, he's taken
ch 12: somehow i don't think st clair is taken after all
ch 20: for goodness sake anna, NO! you do not roomshare with a boy and you absolutely do not bedshare!! ever!!
ch 21: girl i'm cackling a cute boy calls anna beautiful and girl literally just falls flat on her face
ch 21: this is why we don't bedshare

ch 25: girl...pick a damn boy

I really love this book. The character are lovable, and make the story very interesting. I absolutely love the setting. A boarding school in France, it's perfect. We get to see the characters be themselves, and go out on the time.

I loved Anna and St. Clair's friendship, and all the cute moments they had. However, I wish we would've gotten to see Anna and St. Clair relationship more. They didn't really get together until the end of the book. I also wish St. Clair broke up with his girlfriend earlier in the book. I understand it was a part of the plot, but it made him seem like a cheater.

Overall, this is a great book, definitely one of my favorites.
