This is the third and final book in the Anna and the French Kiss series. I really enjoyed this book but it was my least favorite of the trilogy, I just loved Lola and the Boy Next Door so much.
I think part of my issue was with how quiet and passive Isla is; I had a lot of trouble engaging with her as a character. I also thought Josh was a bit of a jerk at times; even if maybe that was more just how he was forced to act based on his surrounding family circumstances.
I did enjoy how both characters worked through all their imperfections and enjoyed that the story ended in a very uplifting way. The ending did feel a bit rushed but it was okay. The story did end with a very happy fairy tale like ending.
Overall this was a well done conclusion to this trilogy. I enjoyed every book in this series a lot. I love the different interesting locations the stories are set in and enjoyed the uplifting feel to the stories. I would recommend to those who enjoy contemporary YA romance.

The third in the companion series that takes the reader back to Paris and to the American school with a new group of seniors. Isla is the middle daughter of a French/American couple who definitely shows the middle child tendencies. Josh is the child of a state senator and doesn't quite fit the normal mold of a political offspring. Isla has had a crush on Josh since day one and now in their senior year she may get the guts to make her feelings known.
What a fantastically sweet and realistic love story. I absolutely stinkin adore the realistic ups and downs of a senior year of high school relationship. The puppy love was great. Although it took awhile it was great to have the appearance of the whole crowd - St. Clair, Anna, Cricket and Lola - but what a great appearance!
