Kiss by Jacqueline Wilson
4.0
'Kiss' is a brilliant book for any teenager and Jacqueline Wilson covers the theme of self-realisation and sexuality brilliantly. Reading this book as a young girl I didn't get to fully experience the book and understand it but re-reading it now makes me realise just how brilliant Jacqueline Wilson is!
Carl and Sylvie and been best friends forever and they even have their own secret 'Glass Hut' but Sylvie has always been in love with Carl and believed they will get married. But, both of them are growing up and now go to completely different schools and have their own lives away from each other.
Jacqueline Wilson is quite possibly UK's best children's author and this book really is moving and is handled beautifully. There are no real happy endings in life and Ms Wilson is helping children prepare for that, both Carl and Sylvie have problems, they aren't perfect or always happy but this book shows that happy endings are worked, slowly towards and I absolutely adore and admire Jacqueline Wilson for that!
