I liked this a lot but am I the only one who didn't like the characters that much?

This was a YA book that made me feel like I wasn't the target audience. There are some YA books where I get annoyed at the main character for acting too much like a teenager, and this was one of them. Though there was more going on in the book besides the romance, I felt like the book was 90% focused on that and it simply wasn't that compelling. The two acted like a couple the whole book anyway, so all we were waiting for the whole time was for them to kiss. I didn't hate the book, but it didn't ever excite me. Anna and Étienne are a cute couple and they certainly deserve each other, but their relationship just wasn't enough to sustain my interest for the length of the entire book.

I LOVED this book. It was exactly what I needed it: cute, light and funny. I laughed so much reading the reviews about why people didn't like it and they are totally right, nonetheless I still LOVE this book. Anna is not the brightest crayon in the box and was closed minded at the beginning, despite that I think she was a likeable character. Etienne St. Clair is totally swoon worthy, his biggest flaw is his resistance to freaking break up with a girl he doesn't like anymore. Some people just like to complicate their lifes. But despite the useless teenage drama it was really cute and I laughed through the whole book.

i think this was book was very predictable and simple, but it has been like 11 years since this book had been released so I'm not judging because of the time difference & yk it's huge.
also i hate"cheating", it's the worse i wouldn't wish it to my enemies to go through that enormous amount of pain!!
the 12/13 yr old me would have totally digged this book, hugged and kept thinking abt it for hours!!
also for the ones who haven't visited France and want to visit(like me lol), the description would make you fall in love with the essence and captivating presence of france

Never, ever did I want to read this...but it has so many over-the-top reviews that I'm giving it a shot.

This was so much better than I had anticipated. And what I had anticipated was YA smoochy-smooch crud. You know, vapid, shallow, "Like, OMG!" It so wasn't. However, it would completely appeal to fans of that genre. This was a well written book with fleshed out characters that the reader truly gets to know, and (GASP!) even like! It also made me revel a bit in the so-called "French snobbery" that exists towards Americans. Our culture doesn't always go for the best, but much more often settles for the instant gratification. Big Macs, instant coffee, blah blah blah. I want to sit and sip an espresso in a Parisian cafe...not chug a thermos full of Folgers on my way to job #2. Erg.
