Sensational!

Aimee Friedman is an amazing writer. Her writing also goes deeper than the words in the book. She really captured the true relationship between holly and Alexa. She definitely gets 2 thumbs up. she is absolutely amazing. I am excited for the third installment in this series, because so far, each book has been better than the last.

best one yet!

This is Aimee's best book yet! With 'A Novel Idea' I was reading as fast as possible to see what happens next and i finished in three hours, but with 'French Kiss' I read a few pages at a time and it took me over a week because the time Alexa and Holly spent together in Paris seemed so great and so real. I didn't want the book to end! I can't wait to see what the girls will be up to in LA! I dont want to spoiler the book so I'm not gonna say what all happens... basically it's Alexa & Holly's adventures in Paris (duh) but you read it and unlike other chick-lit it's very realistic (with a little luck and lots of spunk) anything in the book could happen to you! Especially the feelings and emotions! The girls have their hearts broken and your heart breaks too! The girls fall in love and so do you! You see Holly's point of view but you also see Alexa's! they are both right and they are both wrong and it's justs so accurate to life! Even the bit characters have nuance and character and depth! One day I will write as good as this!!!

A sequel!

I didnt even know there was a sequel to South Beach until my friend told me about this book. I read it and liked it a LOT. Its different from South Beach but in a good way.....this time the girls are in Paris, France, and they have some serious love adventures. I think this is now one of my favorite books. I wish I could go to Paris too.

Loved it!!

Ok, my friend lent me South Beach and I read it in 3 days and didn't want it to end so then I bought French Kiss and it was sooooo good.....if you read & loved South Beach then you will LOVE this book Its set in London and Paris with Alexaa and Holly again and has even more cute boys and kisses then the first book. Its fun and you cant put it down. i hope they make it into a movie!

The perfect guilty pleasure for spring

Alexa and Holly are friends who happen to be part of two different social groups. Alexa and her boyfriend Diego are celebrating their aniversary in Paris while Holly is going to England for a track meet. Holly is devastated when she hurt her ankle and is unable to run for the rest of the meet, but then she gets a phone call from Alexa begging her to come to Paris. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she goes over and spends a guilt-filled week there, hoping she won't get caught by her coach and worrying about her relationship with her boyfriend, Tyler. Still caught up in her fight with Tyler, Holly catches the eye of Pierre, Alexa's cousin. Meanwhile, Alexa happens to meet Xavier, a famous artist. Between sightseeing, shopping and hot dates, Alexa and Holly learn the meaning of friendship and love. I thought that this book was a fun read. French Kiss reminded me a little of Gossip Girl, and while the story is not the same, fans of Gossip Girl should pick this one up. This is the perfect book to get away from real life for a while. The fact that the story takes place in Paris makes it so much more fun to read. This is the perfect guilty pleasure for spring. I'm looking forward to reading the prequel to this, South Beach, next.
