What do you wear to Paris? Ami and I discussed it for hours but I still couldn't think of anything suitable. Ami said a trench coat with nothing underneath but your best underwear. That was only if some boy was meeting you at the airport, I said. Eighteen-year-old Lisette has just arrived from Australia to Paris (France!)—the city of haute couture and all things stylish—to practice her French and see great works of art. Her clairvoyant landlady Madame Christophe forces her to attend language lessons with a bunch of international students, but soon Lise discovers she's more interested in studying boys than art or verbs. When the undeniably hot Anders jogs into her life, it feels too good to be true. Things get even more complicated when she is pursued by Hugo, a charming English antiques dealer. Can she take a chance and follow her own dreams? How far into the future can Madame Christophe see? And could Lise really be falling in love—in Paris?

Gr 8 Up—Australian teen Lisette has three months to spend in Paris before she goes back home to attend university. Lisette's mother is a seamstress and the novel is full of haute couture commentary. Lisette's clairvoyant landlady persuades her to attend language lessons with a group of international students, and her adventure begins. American readers will find the Australian vocabulary intriguing: stayups (pushup bras), capsicam (red peppers), two-minute noodles (ramen), doggy underwear. Lisette, in many ways, is just another teenager on a three-month gap before college who is plowing through relationships, both good and bad, and trying to find her purpose and what makes her unique. In the end, she starts to discover just what that is, along with what may be a true love. Fans of Stephanie Perkins's Anna and the French Kiss and Jenna Evans Welch's Love & Gelato will enjoy this sweet and entertaining read. The French adventure and Lisette's relationships will pull in reluctant readers. VERDICT Recommended for general purchase.—Deanna McDaniel, Genoa Middle School, OH
