Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins is about a high school senior who is unexpectedly shipped off to boarding school in Paris right before her the school year is supposed to begin, forcing her to leave behind her job, her best friend, and the crush who was on the verge of becoming something more. Things start looking up when Anna meets Etienne St. Clair, who is perfect — besides the fact that he is taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything happens with the boy she left behind in Atlanta.
