KISSES AND CROISSANTS Launch With Anderson's Bookshop

Join Anderson's Bookshops for a virtual author event with Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau to celebrate the release of her new book, Kisses and Croissants! Anne-Sophie will be in conversation with fellow author Katharine McGee.

As sweet as a macaron from Laduree, with writing as crisp as a freshly baked baguette, this romantic novel set in Paris about an American ballerina and a charming French boy is parfait for fans of American Royals and Netflix's To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

Please note that we can only ship to US addresses! Please choose the ticket that includes shipping if you would like your book mailed to you.

More about the book:

Mia Jenrow has always known she's destined to be a professional ballerina. In fact, it’s in her blood—according to family legend, her too-many-greats-to-count-grandmother once danced for the Paris Opera and was painted by Degas himself! Her parents say it’s just a fantasy, but to Mia it’s so much more than that. It’s her fate.
 
Mia is planning to spend a magical summer in France pursuing her dream, but as she pirou-ettes into Paris, she soon realizes it may be a bit more complicated than she hoped. For starters, there’s her rival, Audrey, who will stop at nothing to show her up. There’s her ballet instructor, whose impossibly high standards push her to the breaking point. And then . . . there’s Louis. Devastatingly, distractingly charming Louis. He’s eager to show Mia his city—and Mia is more than happy to hop on his Vespa and wrap her arms around him as they pass the gleaming lights of the Eiffel Tower.

About the author:

French author Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau's books have been translated into seven languages. This is her English-language debut. She lives in New York City with her Australian husband.

Katharine McGee is the New York Times bestselling author of the American Royals series and the Thousandth Floor trilogy. She studied English and French literature at Princeton University and has an MBA from Stanford. She now lives in Houston with her husband.
