Fred and Jess star in another hilarious story, involving Gallic passion, muddy tents and aggressive cows!

Jess is in a fix. She has to write a letter to Edouard, her French exchange, before he comes to visit, and her normal ability to write charismatic, charming and seductive letters has deserted her. But there is an even worse problem. She has to send a photo. The idea fills Jess with a special sort of fear. But she has a solution - a digitally enhanced solution - and who better to ask to help than her best mate Fred?

It's only when you've stopped laughing that you realise in addition to being incredibly funny, Sue Limb has dealt seamlessly with the bigger themes of friendship and loyalty

Fans will lap up this prequel as it charts Fred and Jess's relationship - and Jess's relationships with others - before Fred and Jess actually get together. The whole book sparkles with Sue Limb's characteristic wit and humour, and will send fans racing to read the rest of the books in the series.

Praise for the Jess Jordan stories:

Limb's heroine is cleverer than Rennison's, less bonkers than McKay's, but just as captivating

"Hilarious and spot-on how it captures those boyfriend blues" - Mizz

"Amidst the slapstick, Limb weaves such themes as friendship and rivalry, the importance or not of appearances and so forth . . . this is pink lit that girls (and boys with a copy in a plain wrapper) will love" - Books for Keeps

"Very funny and sharply observed, this is the kind of book no teenage girl should be without" - The Bookseller
