This wasn't a good fit for me, so I will not give it a rating. For what it is--a teenage romance--it's okay, and if that is what you want, go for it.
But I failed to realize that's what it was. The first half of the book was what I expected, an interesting and amusing story of a young Canadian who lucks into a student exchange program to France. Her stories of her host families, their food, and the whole culture shock of it all were precious. (Sweet, funny, painful, etc.)
Then it became a simple and extended "true love" story that went on forever. Or so it seemed to me. If you're young and in love, or want to be, it may be perfect for you. I found it boring and eventually gave up. A few pages or a couple of chapters of fiery stares, tingling touches, and deep kisses, are about all I can take. Not a half of a book!
