A signed copy of ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, annotated by the author, Stephanie Perkins
Donated by: Stephanie Perkins
I usually prefer books in which things go all explodey or monsters roam the earth, but this contemporary YA was one of my favorite reads of 2010. It's romantic and quirky and unputdownable. So I will be highly jealous of the person who wins this prize--it's a copy of the book, signed by Stephanie, with little personal notes and insider info written throughout. I'm already gnashing my teeth in envy.
Prize details:
The winner will receive a hardcover of ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, signed and annotated by author Stephanie Perkins.
About ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS:
Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.
As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?
About Stephanie Perkins:
Hi there! I'm Steph, and I wrote ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS. It has funny bits and kissing, so you should totally read it. If you're into that sort of thing. There will be two companions: LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR (2011) and ISLA AND THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER (2012).
This item will close for bids on July 25th at 4 PM EST.

The biggest thing Anna has going for her is her wit and her funny narrative, which makes her character endearing. I think, without these, she might have come off a bit abrasive.
ReplyDeleteThrough Anna, we are introduced to her new friends and love interest - Étienne, who is suppose to be shorter than Anna, even though she mistakes him for a wall when she walks into him in the very beginning of the story. We are also introduced to the school, then slowly to Paris, when Anna is practically dragged from the dorms by Étienne for a night around town.
