Grace burst into my bedroom with such force that she nearly fell over.
‘‘Freddie isn’t in France!’’ she announced triumphantly, as Tilly came crashing in behind her.
I sat up in bed, where I had been watching videos of baby sloths and tutorials on how to do eyeliner flicks all morning.
‘‘Are you sure?’’ I asked.
‘‘Yes!’’ Tilly yelled, and started doing a little victory dance onthe spot.
‘’But I stalked him this morning,’’ I said, ‘‘and there’s a picture of him actually standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, holding up a baguette and pretending it’s a moustache. He literally couldn’’t be more in France if he tried.’’

About the book

TOM ELLEN AND LUCY IVISON ARE THE CO-AUTHORS OF THIS HILARIOUSLY FUNNY TEEN NOVEL ...

Sam and Hannah only have the holidays to find The One. Their ‘lobster’.

But instead of being epic, their summer is looking awkward. They must navigate social misunderstandings, the plotting of well-meaning friends, and their own fears of being virgins for ever to find happiness. But fate is at work to bring them together. And in the end, it all boils down to love.

Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2015.
