"Yeah I do! Actually my Favorite book currently is Ann And The French Kiss. It's an amazing romance book about a girl who's father forces her to go to a boarding school in France and she falls in love with this guy that she knows she can't have. You should read it. I'm also writing a book kind of like it on wattpad. If you go to my account @Zara19820 on wattpad I have posted a couple chapters."
