“Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau's Kisses and Croissants has it all: teenage angst, Parisian sights, big dreams, and plenty of romance. American ballet dancer Mia is in Paris hoping to land an audition with an elite dance company, and nothing will distract her. That is, until she meets Louis, a local boy who makes it his mission to show her everything that Paris has to offer.”
“This utterly delightful upcoming YA romance is about an American ballerina who goes to Paris to study in the elite summer dance program at the Institut de l’Opéra de Paris. Like Emily, Paris wasn’t exactly Mia’s Plan A. But once she gets there, she falls under the spell of Paris’s breathtaking beauty. And she just might fall for her ballet instructor’s charming son, too. Perhaps the best thing about Kisses and Croissants is that the author, Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau, was born and raised in France. She’s written numerous books in French as well, which gives this novel a wonderful feeling of authenticity.”
”When an American ballerina is auditioning for a ballet company in Paris and she meets a charming French boy, what is bound to happen? Well, Kisses and Croissants, of course! When Mia and Louis meet, he offers to be her tour guide during her stay. The two discover some mysteries… and maybe even fall in love in the City of Love.”
