A review by readwithkiekie
Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau
DNF’d on page 112.
I so wanted to enjoy this book but it’s immature writing, meh characters and predictability let me down. It read like a First draft, not a finished novel and Mia’s character had no personality but ballet and cute french boys. She has no growth. The novel also seems to be aimed at 12-14 year olds as Mia acts and talks like one. Wine is called “Adult Juice” and that’s not realistic for a 16/17 year old. Also it seemed every chapter had some form of predictable twist; Ballet rival in Paris, Rival ends up as her roommate, gets put up a grade and in Rivals ballet class, starts liking her instructors son, etc. Everything felt like the author had written down what would happen and didn’t let her characters live.
Also, Mia knew every street in Paris based from google maps. Completely unrealistic.
