Customer Reviews

Kiss
This is the best book i have ever read and it is great for people my age(which is 12). It was a tad rude at times but you get used to it as you go through the book. I would definately reccommend it to anyone who likes a laugh and a cry at times.

For teenagers
This book was very very good but the ending was again very short and shoukd have been extended. The main character is yet again a teenage girl who doesn't think she's very pretty liek a girl should be (as in all of Jacqueline Wilson's books) and all she wants is to be her best friends girlfriend but he just pretends she's his girlfriend to make her look good but he does love her as a friend and seems like soemthings bothering him. You just want to keep reading this book to find out what is going to happen next. And again there's always the pretty friend of the main character who usually gets the guys she wants and is the only one who makes the main character feel better.

Kiss is a brilliant book.
Kiss is a sensational book about 2 people named Sylvie and Carl they loved eachother but as they grew older they changed and split apart but as tme progressed they got back together and were happy. Jaqueline Wilson is a well known author with books, if you like loads of gossip and personal life you will like this book. Happy reading!
