The first thing I have to say about this book is: It is amazing! This is one of those cases where you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I completely dived into this book.
The main scenario of this book is Anna Oliphant, or as her friends Bridget calls her, Banana Elephant, is being sent to SOAP (School of America in Paris) by her father. Her father, who has a strangely close description to Nicholas Sparks, thinks she needs to get out. So Anna is left in her dorm in the middle of Paris with no clue of what to do. Then, she meet her new friends, Meredith, the soccer (Football) player, Rashmi, the very intelligent and mysterious girl, with her boyfriend Josh, an aspiring artist with a tendency to ditch class. And finally, the magnificent St. Clair. He catches every girls attention in their school. Unluckily he has a girlfriend, Ellie, a previous student there and best friends with Rashmi. After getting to know him, Anna begins to have feelings for him. Just those feelings cause many ups and downs of the story. It's a wonderful roller coaster of love and true friendship. I suggest this to anyone who loves a good book.
