You guys probably know by now that I am not a big contemporary reader…so even though I was gifted Anna and the French Kiss, and was told that I would definitely enjoy it, I will still wary to start. Let me tell you guys my opinion of Anna and the French Kiss in a word: SWOON. SO MANY SWOONS. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this book and the relationship between Anna and Etienne. Though I found some parts to be predictable, I still loved this novel very much. Well, as you can see we are featuring Anna and the French Kiss as our On the Same Page pick this month! Since there were so many swoony moments in Anna and the French Kiss, and because you guys know that I love quotes so much, I decided to make up some nice graphics to go along with my favorite parts. Enjoy!
“Welcome to Pairs, Anna. I’m glad you’ve come.”
“I wish for the thing that is best for me.”
“How many times can our emotions be tied to someone else’s – be pulled and stretched and twisted – before they snap? Before they can never be mended again?”
“I don’t know. Sometimes I think there are only so many opportunities…to get together with someone. And we’ve both screwed up so many times” – my voice grows quiet – “that we’ve missed our chance.”
“If you ask me to kiss you, I will,” he says.
His fingers stroke the inside of my wrists, and I burst into flames.
“Kiss me,” I say.
He does.

I love ALL the quotes. I love how they totally capture all of the feelings–good and bad–from this book. The EXQUISITE PAIN OF ROMANCE!
So glad that you enjoyed Anna and the French Kiss, A! It’s such a great contemporary 🙂 Loved the quotes you chose too!
This post brought back so many memories from when I read Anna and The French Kiss early last year!! I loved this book so much and I’m so sad that I’ve read the entire series now! Loving the graphics by the way!
I’m resisting the urge to say I told you you would love this, but I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD LOVE THIS! Anna and Etienne are LIFE! GAH, I love that you enjoyed yourself so so much. And perfect quotes are perfect!
