Beautiful Americans

review 1: Beautiful Americans is the story of four teenagers studying abroad in Paris while at the same time trying to forget about their pasts and their dark secrets. Sounds intriguing, but Beautiful Americans didn't live up to my expectations. The first problem is none of the characters are likable. None. Alex is spoiled, selfish, and bratty. Olivia and PJ are simply flat and forgettable. Zack has the most personality out of all of the characters, but his constant fawning over Alex got annoying rather quickly.Also, so much is made about their "dark secrets" but half of them weren't even revealed in this book and the other half I didn't really find pressing or dark at all. Also, because not much was answered in this book, the conflict didn't even start rolling until the very end, m... moreaking the beginning of the book slow. I expected Beautiful Americans to be a book in the realm of Anna and the French Kiss, but instead it was slightly boring with characters not nearly as likable and fun as Anna and Etienne.
review 2: 'Beautiful Americans' is the story of four American teenagers, PJ, Olivia, Zack and Alex who are spending a year abroad in Paris, studying at the Lycée de Monceau. A prominent theme in the book is secrecy, with each character having a secret. These are revealed in turn as the story progresses.To be honest, it took me a while to really get into this book. Despite the lovely opening which introduced two of the protagonists in the novel, PJ and Alex, there seemed to me to be just too many characters all too soon. It was hard for me to remember who was who. Regardless of this minor flaw, I did really enjoy the story. The plot was simple yet really engaging and I felt that the author's description of Paris made the story really come alive. If you are looking for a romantic story aimed at teens, then I think you will love this; I certainly did. I will definitely be reading the sequel 'Wanderlust' and possibly even the final part of the trilogy 'Experienced' when it is published in the autumn. less
