Recommend A...Contemporary Book

Shanyn from Chick Loves Lit came up with this awesome feature for Mondays.

Shanyn says, "“Recommend A…” will have a new prompt every week, which I will have posted ahead of time on the Recommend A… page. All you have to do is Recommend with me on Mondays, following the prompt, and link me so I (and everyone else) can see what you’ve recommended!"

This week I Recommend A...Contemporary Book

Here's the summary from Goodreads:

"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 Etienne St. Clair: 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?"

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone, I had never read that many contemporary books before this one but this book showed me how great they could be.  I laughed a lot while reading this story, there is a lot of funny going on in these pages.

My favorite quote from the book:

 "Any bloke with a working prick would be insane not to like you."..."Because, of course, of how intelligent you are.  And funny.  Not that you aren't attractive. Because you are. Attractive."... "

Top 5 Sundays - Favorite Fictional Families!

 Quite the interesting family and I can't wait to see how they continue to grow and change.

 Lily's family is hilarious and helpful (which is always a good thing.)

Kat and her sisters are really fun to read about because it really feels like an actual sibling relationship and you can tell they all really care about each other.

I think these were the first longer chapter books that I became obsessed with.  It was just mesmerizing to read about how much this family has to go through to survive and how even the little things are so important.

This is definitely a dark and twisted family but they love each other and are fiercely protective.  I love this series and would pretty much read anything about these characters.
