Here they are. :)



Discussion Questions for
Anna and the French Kiss
Read-A-Long Chapters 32-47


  • St Clair knows he needs to make a decision about his relationship with Anna, but his hesitation only hurts her. Do you sympathize with him?
  • Anna is hurt by St Clair, and makes some bad decisions, relationship wise. Do you sympathize with her, or not?
  • How would you have reacted in the park if you were Meredith? How do you think Anna handles the fall out with Meredith?
  • Anna has a meltdown in Chapter 42 – do you think this was a break-through for her? St Clair tells her that he isn’t the only one who is afraid of being alone. Do you think Anna ever realized this before now?

Have you guys been having a fabulous time reading along with us in Anna and the French Kiss these last two weeks?!

Molli and I have had an absolutely BLAST co-hosting this fantastic event for you guys! She's done a truly terrific job of picking up my slack for this second week, because I've had a few personal things come up that needed my attention, so I've been running a bit behind. I've been having such a super terffic time with reading ANNA for the first time and getting to know you guys and seeing all of your different perspectives on the book.

The more I get into this book, the more that I absolutely DON'T want to put it down ever! I want to read it and re-read it and read it again and then re-read it again, because everything is so dang adorable about it. I love talking about this book and sharing my thoughts and opinions with you guys, and I hope that you do too. So, take a look below at my answers for Chapters 17-31, and then link us up to yours!

Chapters 17-31

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS #1: ANNA & THE FRENCH KISS READ-A-LONG

Have you guys been reading along with us in Anna and the French Kiss?! 

If you have, Molli and I, thought it would be fun to include some discussion questions to go along with the read-a-long. Ya know, just to kind of get to know one another a little better and also spark some extra discussion about this awesome book. So, I thought I'd share the first batch of them with you.


Discussion Questions for
Chapters 1-16

Anna is afraid to really experience Paris when she arrives. Would you be, or would you look at it as an adventure?

Which of the characters we meet – Anna, St Clair, Josh, Rashmi, or Meredith – do you most identify with? Why?

Anna is drawn to St Clair, as well, everyone is. She wants to be “just friends” with him. Do you think this will be possible for her? Can a guy and a girl BE just friends?

What are your first impressions of Anna? Of St Clair?

What’s your favorite moment from what we’ve read so far?

 photo divider-1_zps4f8754d2.jpg

All you have to do is create a post on your blog that includes the read-a-long event button, with links back to both mine and Molli's blog, with your answers to the discussion questions. On Friday, April 5th, both Molli and I will be posting our answers to the questions as well - along with a linky where you can submit the link to your answers!
