Reread that last sentence of the summary for me. Sounds pretty cliche, right? Yep. It is. But it's also true. So true. I wanted to move to Paris, attend the School of American in Paris (SOAP), and find my own Etienne.
I was planning on making this a normal review, but I can't find anything non-repetitive to say except for the following:
Yes, the book was somewhat cliche. Yes, there were a few things that I didn't like. Yes, I am now in love with Stephanie Perkins. Yes, I highly recommend you go find a copy.

It's hard to say anything unique about this book, because everything I've read about it has been raving. I loved it. Everyone I know loved it. Stephanie hit some magic formula. I wish I could do it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!! And I absolutely agree that she's got the secret formula. Maybe we should go steal it....
ReplyDeleteLoved. This. Book. LOVED IT!! Which is funny, because I normally don't read contemporary books that often and I hate romance. And this book was a contemporary romance. Yet I fell in love with it! It is freaking hilarious. I love the author's humor, and I was laughing out loud over and over again. I am so glad I wasn't reading this book in public because I would have gotten some looks. I absolutely adored the characters - Etienne is hot and I wish he were mine, and Anna is so easy to relate to. I don't feel like I read about these characters; I feel like I am actually friends with them.
