Description
Carlota and Bethany are best friends. Bethany is the sensible one with a long-term boyfriend, Carlota is the crazy one with a wild past and rebellious nature. All is fine in their world - apart from Carlota hating her stepdad and longing for a old flame. And apart from Bethany thinking her boyfriend is about to dump her and that her period is late...
Carlota comes up with a plan to put all their troubles behind them and go on a girls-only wild day out, with only their favourite magazine to guide them through the day. If they open it on a fashion page they have to get hold of a fabulous new outfit and pretend to be models. If they open it to a page on snogging, they have to find a boy to snog. The magazine will take them everywhere they need to go - but will it help them to reveal the secrets they are keeping from each other?

Reviews / Votes
"Plaja's humour is subtle and the dialogue betwen the girls is spot on. The idea to write the novel from the point of view of both girls is genius" -- Carly Bennett * The Bookbag * "Luisa Plaja's second novel is as brilliant as her first, if not better. The story flows and the characters are well developed and extremely easy to like and relate to" * So Many Books So Little Time * "Once again, Luisa Plaja has taken a chicklit book, and made it so much more than that" * About Books For Teens * "Bridget Jones meets the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. A hilarious and entertaining read" * Ultimate Book Hound * "I'd recommend Extreme Kissing to anyone who enjoys a fun, girly story with genuine heart. Heck, I'd recommend it to anyone who has a heart. It's a must-read" * I Was a Teenage Book Geek *More details
