Pretty in Pink meets Anna and the French Kiss in this charming romantic comedyElla is nearly invisible at the Willing School, and that's just fine by her. She's got her friends - the fabulous Frankie and their sweet cohort Sadie. She's got her art - and her idol, the unappreciated 19th-century painter Edward Willing. Still, it's hard being a nobody and having a crush on the biggest somebody in the school: Alex Bainbridge. Especially when he is your French tutor, and lessons have started becoming, well, certainly more interesting than French ever has been before. But can the invisible girl actually end up with a happily ever after with the golden boy, when no one even knows they're dating? And is Ella going to dare to be that girl?

Someone please explain his purpose in this book, because I sure as hell don't see it. What an unnecessary character he was.Both Alex and Ella are wholly unlikeable.

I found the writing style to be engaging and smart and I really liked the different mediums interspersed in the novel that gave it a wider scope than the simple narrative technique would have. Stuff like emails, lists, excerpts from scholarly articles. The conversations with the painting/sketch of Edward

Why is everyone getting all excited about '...meets Anna and the French Kiss'?!Sure, that's exciting but I can't help but feel you're missing the most amazing part of that tagline. YES.
