Anna and the French Kiss

Since I'm going to France this summer, my friend lent me her copy of "Anna and the French Kiss" to read. Reading for fun feels so good now that school is out. I thought the book was really cute and relatable, but there's just one thing I kept thinking. Do characters ever remind you of people in real life? There's this one guy I know who I kept picturing as St. Clair, even though they are not that much alike. I guess because he is shorter than me and he always wears formal clothes and he is not American (ooh, Canadian, how exotic) and he speaks French. So I guess I associated the two of them and I think it affected my view of the interactions of the people in the book because I was superimposing fiction and real life. But I guess that's how all things are. I interpret the things I read with ideas I have formed up to that point.

There's another character I associate with someone in real life. One of the boys in the band "Big Time Rush" reminds me of my co-worker this semester. That's embarrassing to admit that I even know who Big Time Rush is (my brother sometimes watches Nickelodeon while I am home, and I have nothing better to do with my life...) and it's just secretly funny to me, because they do all these cheesy typical boy-band dance moves and I laugh in my head when I think about it.

Happy Mother's Day! My mom does so much for me, I need to get her a present and let her know I appreciate her more often :)
