Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau
5.0
"Because croissants are like kisses. You don't fully 'get' them until you've had them in Paris."
American Mia works hard to achieve her goal of becoming a professional ballerina, so her acceptance into an elite summer ballet program in Paris is a dream come true! Furthermore, it's an opportunity to do research on a piece of family lore: that one of Mia's ballerina ancestors had been painted by Degas. Mia is looking forward to spend her summer dancing, training under some of the best instructors in the world, meeting her French relatives, and getting to sample the best of Parisian culture: food, landmarks, and... boys?
When Mia encounters a cute French boy who helps her in the middle of a leotard-related crisis, the last thing she expected was for him to be the son of the most formidable dance instructor. And she most definitely doesn't expect Louis to keep finding her, to keep wanting to hang out with her, and to show her all that Paris has to offer. But as the summer continues, Mia begins to wonder if she can have it all: her dream of being a ballerina, and the boy who has stolen her heart.
A beautiful and sweet summer romance, filled with drama, cute moments, and amazing descriptions of dance, art, and food, "Kisses and Croissants" is a delightful read for all ages!
