Summer isn't turning out the way Molly planned... Looking forward to six weeks in sunny southern France kept Molly going all through exam revision. But she didn't count on the loneliness. Communicating in a language that's not your own is hard. Living in someone else's family is weird. And spoilt, moody Lea would rather spend her time with a neverending stream of boys than bother with Molly. Maybe Molly needs to stop playing gooseberry and find a boy of her own?

Written in a diary style, this is the story of Molly's exchange trip to France for a few weeks in the summer. A lovely coming-of-age story, very realistic and engaging.

Good Points

Loved the voice of Molly, the main character, the French setting, the teenage dilemmas. Just a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Another winner by Claire Watts. I could totally identify with Molly. The relationships were excellent and the sense of place was spot on - I was there spending a boiling summer with Molly and her host-family!

This books is charming, clever and so so so good. The friendships are so real, they're not perfect and they're not completely toxic like so many other YA books. Claire Watts just really gets teenagers. You're totally in Molly's head when you read this book.

Good Points

I love everything about this book. The characters are so real, none of them seem at all vague or underdeveloped. Even characters who are only mentioned once or twice are real and full. Theyre all real people. Molly's experience of being thrown into a different country and different language are portrayed so well and her growing understanding of the people around her is so well-done. This is a fantastic book.
