I Kissed an Earl by Julie Anne Long
3.0
Enjoyable read. I liked the plot. I had higher expectations though. I did not really like either of the characters that much.
I think that this book would have benefited from input from someone who actually speaks French. The French phrases in this story are pure gibberish, grammatically incorrect literal translations of English. You cannot just directly translate "it's the pot calling the kettle black" as this form of the idiom does not exist. The laughable use of French didn't impact my rating, but it feels like such a simple thing to research that I am a bit astounded by it.
