This new novel from Diverse Book Award winning author Jenny Ireland, features fresh coming-of-age romance with disability representation and real authentic characters that you will love. The YA romantic comedy will be officially released on June 4th.
Labelled by The Irish Times as ‘romance with substance’, you won't want to miss this perfect summer read.
French Kisses follows our main character Margot, who is sent on a family holiday to France after a school sunspension. There, she meets two boys, Félix and Antoine, and her expected summer of boredom suddenly becomes way more interesting. The official synopsis reads :
"When her parents are told about her (totally unfair) suspension from school, wild-child Margot is forced to go to on a family holiday to the South of France. A summer of potential boredom is turned on its head when she meets Félix and Antoine. They are polar opposites. Bistro waiter Félix: mild mannered, caramel haired and sweet. Surf instructor Antoine: dark haired. Tattooed. Arrogant.
The only thing they seem to have in common is that they’re both ridiculously attractive, and they both have a thing for Margot. But there’s something much more significant about them that’s going to come as a real shock to Margot . . ."
