French Kissing in New York

By: Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau

Narrated by: Rachel L. Jacobs

"It took all of two paragraphs for me to fall head-over-heels in love with this story. Naive, plucky Margot was perfection, New York City brimmed loud and clear from the pages, and I absolutely adored the love story. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while."—Jenna Evans Welch, New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato

A charming, high-energy romance in the city that never sleeps about a girl who can't wait to be a part of Manhattan's restaurant scene—and find the boy she fell for last summer. Perfect for fans of Emily in Paris!

Welcome to New York. . . . He’s been waiting for you.

Margot hasn’t been able to stop thinking about Zach, the dreamy American boy she met one magical night in Paris. In an instant, they fell head over heels in love and spent the perfect evening ensemble—sealed with a kiss and a promise: if the universe wants them to be together, fate will find a way.

Flash forward one year later: Margot has finished high school and is newly arrived in New York, ready to roll up her chef's-coat sleeves in Manhattan’s bustling restaurant scene, celebrate her father’s upcoming wedding . . . and reconnect with Zach.

But a lot can happen in a year, and promises made in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower look different in the neon glow of the Big Apple. Margot spends the summer desperate to find Zach and enlists the help of Ben, the sweet line cook at her restaurant. Margot is convinced she found her soul mate that night in Paris . . . but what if the universe has a different plan?

Anything’s possible in New York City. Especially l'amour, American-style.

Welcome To New York ..

I was looking for a book like this for a while, a book that is set in New York where romance is blooming in the middle of it's Hussle and bustle .. and the fact that Jenna Evan Welch blurbed it ?? man I had to read it and I'm so glad I enjoyed it
The story is about Margot, she is French and works with her mother in her restaurant in France, one day she meets an American guy named Zack and he is her dream guy and they spend a magical day together, but he has to return home .. New York, so they made a pact, they will meet again in New York's Times Square at an exact time and place one year later .. when that time comes Margot is ready to kick start her love story, only Zack didn't show up, so she enlists the help of Ben, her co worker in the restaurant in New York where she now works, through the course of three months Margot will learn about her self and the city and what it means to be in love
the book is simple and really nice if you miss New York and don't want to suffer through the smell (trust me the smell alone will send you packing) the story was cute and nice and the title is very on point with the story .. my only complaint about this book was the ending, while it did have a positive and mostly happy vibe I guess Margot should be smarter than this to throw everything for something this stupid
all and all I liked this book and I will check out this author again for sure
