‘A fresh, touching story for girls, with a great message’ - Jacqueline Wilson

Taylor is determined to be in control of her own life story - and it’s going to be a romance! So far her entire social life consists of her two best friends Star and Lucy, who are also a couple and always together, plus her sometimes embarrassing but always hilarious Grandma and Grandad. But Taylor writes for the school newspaper, she creates fan-fiction and she’s even been asked to enter a competition by her English teacher – surely she can script the perfect love story for herself?

Her school is about to play host to some French exchange students. They’ll be experts on this topic, Taylor reckons. After all, it must be called French kissing for a reason! The perfect first kiss is surely on the horizon. And Taylor can make it happen – can’t she? This is Taylor’s moment to LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE!
