Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Anna and the French Kiss was one of those books that I never wanted to put down. I only left it when I had to go to school or it was too late that my eyes could no longer focus.

This story is definitely not your typical 'skinny girl falls in love with blue-eyed, buff guy'. The characters are true to real life, and even though they are so different, they fit together like… Continue reading Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
