Diary of a Crush: French Kiss
by Sarra Manning
First published as a hugely popular serial story in Just 17 magazine, French Kiss is the first in a trilogy following the tumultuous relationship between Edie and her on-off boyfriend Dylan.
Edie is feeling lost and overwhelmed in her first term at college in a new town. But then she meets scruffy, pouty, elusive art student Dylan, and it's love at first sight. But will Dylan ever notice Edie? And why is he giving her so many mixed signals? A college trip to the romantic city of Paris might just provide the answers...
Written in diary-format, in Edie's distinctive, breezy voice, this is a lively, humorous and easy to read teenage romance.
