Thanks, Wattpad Books, for the arc! 

 

A FRENCH GIRL IN NEW YORK reminds me of the classic DComs, and I loved every second of it. I could imagine a young Disney Channel star, Zendaya playing Maude, suddenly moving to New York with wide heart eyes. Ugh, it would be so good. I miss the good ol’ days. But this book by Anna Adams 100% brings you back to them. I had all the feels and even teared up at the end! 

 

Adams’ book is one of those suspend disbelief and enjoy for a good time type of read. You know that feeling when you watched The Princess Diaries then walked around for days (or years in my case) waiting for your missing Grandma from Genovia to come by and say, “Hey, you’re a princess” - that’s the feeling you need to have when you read the book. If you do, you will be squealing and kicking your feet and wondering when you will be whisked away to New York for a recording contract. I mean, they can teach me to sing, right? 

 

I love Maude and her love of classical music. I think it’s phenomenal that Adams chose this route for her book instead of making her a pop star. I like classical music and learned new things, so I know that new readers of the classical music world will learn too! 

 

The characters were wonderful, the story was fluffy, and the ending was sweet. I enjoyed this story and see myself rereading it when I just want to be lost in a happy world.
