Mwah Mwah by Chloë Rayban

Age range: young teen


"Marie-Christine’s invited you to stay for the holidays!’
‘What!’
‘In Paris. You’ll love it.’
‘Mum! I will NOT love it. Not with Matthilde. She’s so... uggghhhrr.’

The vacation was about to offer - the coolest party, quality girl-time with my mates and possibly a very hot boyfriend!! BUT Mum has other plans. She’s packing me off to Paris, France, for two whole weeks.

Two whole weeks of Matthilde - who’s got ‘attitude’ stamped on her backside.
Oh why do the French have to be so French! ".

Insightful, very funny teen-girl-in-crisis with a continental twist (featuring painful self-discovery, and ultimate entente cordiale). Shipped off to France for Easter
for some continental ‘culture’, Hannah finds herself staying with her mother’s
best friend. And her mother’s best friend’s daughter. Who happens to be tall, horribly stylish and has that irritating way of turning a scarf into the latest fashion accessory.

To make matters worse (if possible) the daughter’s friend is coming to stay with them. Doubly bad for the ego, twice the competition for the bathroom. But then ‘Michel’ turns out to be a boy ... Cue rivalry with a continental flavour in a brilliantly compelling teen coming-of-age drama.

“You can tell the author has actually visited France...I love the way you could see the trip through the eyes of a novice traveller...a sweet funny book”
