Girl, Barely 15: Flirting For England (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
4.5 stars I was deciding whether to do this or not, so here goes... (this is my first review so im not sure it'll be too good, sorry about that)Jess has to write a letter to Edouard, her french exchange. she has some problems but ends up doing OK, next thing she knows, she has to send a PHOTO, so she gets her BEST friend Fred, to photo shop a picture for her. when she gets edouards picture (i quote) "he was adorable". I LOVE THIS BOOK!! its one of my favorites(not as much as the next one in the series but yeah you get what i mean) i kept thinking if this was romance or not when i first got it, but it didn't(if your looking for romance, get the next book or 2), so that's why it got 4.5, otherwise this book really feels like it was MADE by a 15 year old. I brought this to school (which i don't do with books unless I'm desperate to read whats next)and it was pretty awkward, what? with the title and all? ANYWAY I actually laughed at this book and i think its worth getting... at least under $20. i think the age is 12+it kinda makes me wish my life was like this... whats up with books? i thought they were made to "take you to another world" but all that happens to me is... MY LIFE IS SO BORING! or maybe its just me... Did i do well for a first review? (as in, make you want to buy this or something) i hope so :D
So, this is the prequel to Girl, 15, Charming but Insane, which is a hilarious book. This one? Not so much.In this outing, Jess is faced with entertaining a French exchange student. His name is Edouard, and he is basically a nerdy shrimp. Who only speaks French. Her best mate, Flora, hosts the charming Marie-Louise, and their pal, Jodie, hosts the sexy Gerard.When the girls cook up a camping party with the exchange students, hilarity and hurt feelings ensue.I don't know what to say. This novel is nowhere near as funny as the first in the series. Nor is it as funny as the less funny sequels. But it was nice to visit with wacky Jess one more time.

This book was great. Jess is a girl who lives in England, and when her french exchange partner comes to stay eith her for 2 weeks, she freaks out because she's not good at speaking french. I thought it was very imature of her mom and dad, because they wouldn't talk to echother over the phone or anything. Jess would always have to be delivering messages to her parents. It was also funny because in some parts of the book bad things happen to Jess that made me laugh. i am very much looking forward to keep readin these books.
