I can definitely see why people love this so much. The writing style is really fun and I could see myself loving this more if I read it when I was younger. But at my age now, it wasn’t something I related to.

I loved this book! It was super funny, romantic and just all around a good read! I loved Anna and I could totally relate to her with all of her feelings she had for St. Clair and Toph. This books makes me want to go to Paris and fall in love. Not really what else to say about this book but this is probably one of my favorite books this year so far!
Perfect Valentine's Day read ;-)

This book is amazing! I really liked it. The story is so honest and accurate. It's great, seriously.
So, basically this is a story about young love, adolescence, friendship, family problems, etc. I identify a lot with it, but I'm sure all teens would. This book shows how strange this period of our lives is. Our minds are like a really big mess. Sometimes we want it all and sometimes we don't want anything. We get mad with our friends but then we do what they did to us to someone else. We love and hate our family. The story shows no one is perfect and we have to learn from our mistakes.
There's just one thing I didn't like:
Anyway, it's a wonderful story and I recommend this book.

HOW COULD SOMEONE POSSIBLY WRITE A LOVE STORY ABOUT A GIRL WHO IS TALLER THAN THE GUY ON PURPOSE??? I DON'T GET IT. I MEAN, IT'S SO NOT NICE WHEN THAT HAPPENS...Anyway, it's a wonderful story and I recommend this book.

3 stars.
This was quite enjoyable altough I had my problems with the book.
- Anna was naive and judging. All. the. fucking. time! She assumed things about her friends and family (or more like Étiennes family) without asking or knowing them a bit. This combines with the next point drived me nuts and I put the book down for the last 50 pages.
- Show don't tell. Despite a few conversations there wasn't much 'evil' doing from his father. He was mean but not as mean as told.
- Miscommunication of doom.
- The bullying aspect was unnessesary and not resolved at all. The little help Lola gave wasn't really a good measurement to give a good lesson except 'bullying is bad'.
The cheating aspect wasn't my issue. Since we only saw Ellie like.... 10 pages? For me, it felt like Ellie wasn't even there (despite the fact that Anna lost her own head over her like every third page).
Lowering my rating to 2 stars because in contrast to Lola and Isla, Anna had a serious case of double standards (slutshaming, I'm not like other girls syndrome, egocentric behaviour towards her own friends, etc.).

There were so many things about this book I enjoyed: the descriptions of Paris, the love story, the introspection the characters showed, the humor. It was one of those books I just couldn't wait to read. More complete review to come.

Despite the million positive things I had heard about this book, I was still hesitant going into it. A love story about a girl who goes to Paris and meets an English boy is bound to be a bit clichéd, I thought.
BEING PROVED WRONG HAS NEVER MADE ME SO HAPPY.
Amazing book, amazing writing, amaaaazing Étienne
reread: AS AMAZING AS EVER.
