One thought on “The Art of French Kissing”

1. This was the perfect February read Champagne, Paris, and romance It was a quick and fun read Emma is planning her wedding when she discovers her fiance, Brett, has cheated on her and wants to call everything off While talking to her friend in Paris about her situation, she decides to visit Exploring Paris and landing a new job as a publicist for an up and coming rock star is just what Emma needs to reinvent herself Chaos and romance ensue Chick lit at its best.

4. The beautiful part of being a librarian is that I walk by the shelves full of new books every morning However I must admit that I picked up this book several times before finally checking it out The blurb on the back did not appeal to me Fortunately I did finally take it home and greatly enjoyed reading it.Emma s wedding has just fallen apart, she has lost her job and now the only place she has to live is with a very judgemental sister Fortunately, just as she is ready for a means to escape, a j [...]

5. Now, this book I liked I can t help but compare it to my most recent other read, From Notting Hill, with Love Actually since both books involve a heroine leaving their home and fiance behind and moving somewhere to start anew, where of course they find a really great, handsome, local guy they at first clash with and then fall in love with But in this book, our heroine s relationship with the loser fiance is broken and she moves to Paris with a clean slate which is SUCH a better premise than the [...]

6. This book was amazing Kristin Harmel is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors Her writing is just so exciting and real Although I found myself guessing exactly what was to come it was still completely enjoyable for me to read After reading this book I SO want to visit Paris And if you have already read How to Sleep with a Movie Star then you ll really enjoy this book as well She even briefly mentions a few of the characters from that novel in this one, which I found completely hilarious I [...]

7. I was first introduced to this book by the last pages of another book I first thought the title was inappropriate then I read the description and it wasn t so bad So, I downloaded the free sample on my ibookstore like i always do with almost every book and i read the first chapter which was not so bad It was interesting The book is totally a chic flick I enjoyed reading it, since I do enjoy watching chick flick movies, most of the times.I found Poppy s theories kinda ironic since she dumbs her b [...]

8. What a stinker how does one say formulaic and pointless in French I picked this up for 50 cents at the library book sale and am actually wondering if they d give me a refundI bought this because I am going to Paris in July so I thought it would be interesting and in that regard it gave some mildly helpful tdbits about life in Paris but otherwise it was a complete waste of time I d rather be watching ROCK OF LOVE and I HATE reality TV

9. I read this in practically one sitting It was pure fluff but it was enjoyable I knew what was going to happen pretty early on in the book but I loved the descriptions of life in Paris and a really liked the protagonist so it was all good.

16. I have to justify my 5 stars with a review because this is the first 5 star book of the 29 books I ve read this year It s not the best book I ve read this year that distinction probably has to go to Suite Fran aise as of now , but I tend to rate things based on other things of the genre, and this is just one of the best chick lit books I ve ever read I absolutely loved it.Sure, it starts the same as any other chick lit Emma, a perfectly acceptable girl who works in PR gets suddenly dumped by big [...]

22. While I overall liked the book, if I take and split its story into two main plots I can say that I enjoyed only one of them.The babysitting a crazy celebrity subplot was thoroughly fun I love a good story about ingenuity and solving strange situations, and the book delivered Guillaume was a surprisingly likeable character and the situations in which he got himself were interesting likewise were Emma s solutions.The hunting for men around Paris subplot, and the whole Brett situation, were painful [...]

23. One of the better chick lit books I have read in a very very long time Seriously, I read maybe 2 3 books a year that I like and would recommend to people who like a certain genre and this is 2 of 2009 I liked the setting, supporting characters and Protag a lot and it all made sense It didn t hurt that the first chapter of this book is so straight out of my head as the first 1 4 of the book I have in my head When I first read it, I was like, COPYRIGHT Even though I haven t even started, really, m [...]

24.

26. The Art of French Kissing is pretty straight forward, nothing ground breaking in the chick lit genre a good looking American girl just loses her fianc , her job and her place in the matter of a couple of days, so she jumps at the opportunity to visit an old friend who lives in Paris There, she is included in her small PR company, handling a new big French rock star The story is charming, but the author does underestimate her readers for me, the big twist is visible from miles away.So that s that [...]

27. This was such a fun book to read Predictable Yes But aren t all chick lit books predictable in that girl gets her heart broken but then meets a guy that is SO much better anyway kind of way True to form Emma s fianc was the one who broke her heart but she will be much better off without him.After her break up she takes off to Paris to join a friend to help her manage the public relations of a rock star We are then treated to an imaginary visit to Paris which I will happily take any day as Emma t [...]

28. Although not an in depth or classic read, it sure was fun especially the Gene Kelly bits It also made me want to go to Paris My favorite quotes from the book were Guillaume, you keep twenty eight hundred euros in your underwear High above the street, which was blocked off by police barricades, Guillarme was dangling by this ankles from a thick rope suspended between two buildings, at least twelve or thirteen floors off the ground It didn t take a rocket scientist to figure out that most girls wo [...]

30. Light and easy read Although the blurb was misleading and did not appropriately describe what a gem this book was, it did its best and managed to capture my attention Only criticism would be the flow of time in the narrative.but that s just me Overall, this was a perfect beach read travel companion and i loved how everything from the apartment to the cafes actually existed taken from the author s own experience in the city I would also like to drop everything and move to Paris, meet my own Gabe [...]
