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
ch 25: the WHAT

it’s a glorified wattpad book actually that’s being mean to wattpad books cause those are better there’s only two tiny points that made this book decent but i powered through cause it was terribly entertaining like it was watching something terrible and you know it’s not good buts entertaining to a certain degree. anyways don’t read this unless you wanna punch the mc and the dude she’s in love with

This was a surprisingly good book. I was expecting a book that was extremely cheesy and that I would barely be able to finish. While this book was definitely cheesy, it was also a really cute read. I loved how all of the characters were full characters and not just worthless side ones. 

Now some of my thoughts while reading this: (spoilers)

pg 66: Anna goes on about how her FAMILY MOTTO WAS ACTUALLY FRENCH! Couldn’t st Clair have just translated it? There was literallly no explanation for why that was so ch a revelation or even why there was a revelation

pg 70: Shebang? Shebang is considered fancy now? Girl your in Paris for gods sake shebang isn’t fancy no matter who’s mouth it comes out of.

pg 300: Can someone please tell me why tf mike renoylds (Dave’s friend) just peed in how shower bc he DIDNT WANT TO WAIT FOR THE BATHROOMS!? There are only 100 kids at your school it can’t be that long of a wait that you have to pee in the shower!! 

pg 372: "Home, isn’t a place. It’s a person.” The fact that they are seniors in hs makes this phrase kinda weird like I would expect to hear that from my parents who have been married for twenty years not two teenagers that just finally decided that they both would actually be together and stop dragging on the other people that they have feelings for as well.
