Beautiful Americans Paris, Wir Kommen (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
At first, I thought the book was kind of boring, something I wouldn't be interested in because they're were so many characters to follow. But eventually, I got really into the story and now I know absolutely everything going on! I couldn't believe half the stuff Alex did, and thought she could get away with it. And its killing me not knowing what PJ's parents did that was so bad. Can't wait for Wanderlust!!! Beautiful Americans is the first of what promises to be an exciting trilogy. It's the story of four Americans and their wild adventures in Paris for 9 months. This book is just the beginning of some crazy nights and even crazier teens.Beautiful Americans is told from the points-of-view of Penelope Jane(PJ), Olivia, Zack, and Alex. I don't think there could be any four people as different as these. PJ is a Vermont hippie who is running from quite a past. Olivia is a dancer who is in Paris to try to earn a dance scholarship to UCLA. Zack is Zack. He is kind of hard to describe. He is in Paris looking for himself and for love. Then there's Alex. Alex is the spoiled rotten brat of the group. I couldn't find any redeeming qualities for her. She is in Paris just because she wants to be and what Alex wants, Alex gets.This was a pretty wild book. It reminded me a bit of Gossip Girl but in Paris and a lot less raunchy. It was way more suitable for younger teens and it had a lot more substance. I can't really say what the plot was to this one except that it was their first semester of schooling in Paris. The second book looks like it will have more of a storyline that this one kind of set it up for. I look forward to starting that one. =]Overall, Beautiful Americans is a fun read full of lies, scandal, sex, and secrets. I don't think Lucy Silag left any subject untouched. It was a great book and I plan on diving into the next one as soon as possible!
