How someone can manage to break another person's heart so many times in such a small span of pages astounds me. And how someone can manage to take you on such an incredible journey, teaching you things about her characters but ultimately teaching you about yourself? Equally amazing. Which is exactly why I am so in love with this book. I cried so much because of the character's anguish, but also because I've realised so much.
Anna feels as though her parents, who hadn't been on the best terms since their divorce too many years ago, were shipping her off to a "SOAP," a boarding school in France for Americans. Not that when given the choice between spending her senior year in Atlanta or Paris she wouldn't pick Paris. She just wasn't given the choice. But then she makes some friends and everything seems to be headed uphill, especially as she get closer to her new "friend" Etienne St. Clair. Even if he has a college girlfriend. But some shocking news will bring unwelcome emotions sending these two Americans, (even though one has a British accent and often claims to be an Englander, and the other has a Canadian flag on her backpack,) on a winding journey ending with a stunning bang.
Reccomend? Highly!
Thanks to John Green for the indirect (through a VlogBros Vid.) recommendation!
