This title in other editionsGirl, (Nearly) 16: Absolute Tortureby Sue Limb
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Just when things were going so well.
Jess had the perfect summer planned: She and Fred, lounging in the park, gazing into one another’s eyes and engaging in witty repartee. It was going to be so romantic. And then her maddening mum stepped in: She suddenly announced a two-week “road trip” to Cornwall to visit Jess’s dad, something Jess might have enjoyed, actually, were it not for the monstrously bad timing. Not only will this force Jess and Fred apart for two whole weeks, it will also leave the darling and handsome Fred in the clutches of Jess’s blindingly beautiful best friend, Flora—who, you might recall, expressed an interest in Fred not too long ago. As if all this weren’t enough, Jess’s mum seems to expect her to weep at the grave of every departed literary hero in Britain’s long history. It’s absolute torture. And little does Jess know, a huge surprise awaits her when she visits her dad at his home for the first time in years. From the Hardcover edition. Synopsis:Anticipating many glorious hours together with her boyfriend, Fred, during her summer break, Jess is devastated when she is told she must visit her father for two weeks, causing her to fear what her best friend, Flora, may do in her absence while also totally dreading her meeting with a man she hardly knows. Reprint.
