Kisses and Croissants
Book Feature - Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau
HBL Note: If the title of this novel didn’t automatically bring a smile to your face, then you definitely need to read the whole thing - you could use the extra cheer. KISSES AND CROISSANTS is Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau’s US debut (she is a French novelist) and she is coming with a solution to our travel woes: a novel about an American traveling to Paris. We can all live vicariously through Mia as she attends an elite ballet school for the summer…at least until travel is a thing again. And listen, I know Emily in Paris, had its pros and cons but it was undeniably charming…and I think you’ll like KISSES AND CROISSANTS even more. Scroll down to read all about Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau’s US debut.

From the publisher:
Kisses and Croissants follows American teen ballerina Mia to France for a summer at an elite ballet program at the Institut de l’Opéra de Paris and of course her frenemy, flawless Audrey, is assigned as her roommate. Mia soon learns that the City of Love has even more to offer than the ballet training of her dreams when her French coach’s son, Louis, makes it his mission to show her the city. Together, they set out to hunt down an Edgar Degas painting that could settle a long-disputed family legend and Mia’s mother’s doubts about her future in dance.
The alluring setting, Parisian culture, sweet romance, and Mia’s inspiring hard work toward her dancing dreams makes this a perfect Spring read for fans of Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch, Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins and… freshly baked baguettes and sweet macarons (so, that makes almost everyone).
