LOVE AND KISSES.

So you may have read that title up there ^^^ and you're probably thinking to yourself 'boring another book about love' but at least read the rest of this post :P anyway.. the book is about a young girl called Tamsin who is around about our age, 13. She passes past a building site every time she goes to school and she always looks out for the same boy, Alex. Eventually they have to courage to go out with each other. You're probably thinking,  'waittt is my mind deceiving me, she's 13 and he works on a building site' yes that's right, he's 16. Tamsin knows this but Alex thinks that she's 16 too. They make big plans with each other whilst sneaking behind her parents backs trying to meet up with him. But one time she gets caught. Her mum and dad go mad but not as mad as they get when she tells them he is 16. Even so Tamsin and Alex still meet up behind the parents backs. They have a plan, to run away to Spain. Alex, who is Polish can barely speak English but still likes the plan to run away to Spain and learn Spanish. As Tamsin's parents are actors, they have to go away to act for the summer holidays so Tamsin and her younger sister, Ellie are left with their great aunties, Auntie May, the bossy one and Auntie Mo, the one who does whatever Auntie May tells her. Their house is far away from where Alex works and so even though she has been told not to contact him she still texts him. One day when Tamsin is walking up the stairs, she notices a ghost hovering on the landing. She thinks she has seen the face of this ghost before and then it clicks, it is her auntie Patty as a young child. Tamsin wonders why she has come back to haunt her but then she realises they have something in common. When Patty was young she ran off with her boyfriend to New Zealand just as Tamsin had planned to run away to Spain. There was an age gap like Tamsin and Alex had. Then one day Patty's granddaughter, Maggie goes to visit the aunts and Tamsin and Ellie. Maggie says that Patty's last words were ' I can't reach her' which might mean that she couldn't reach Tamsin to send her the message that they shared something in common. A few days later, Tamsin decides to tell Alex that she is only 13 and Alex realises that they have to break up but Tamsin wishes not to. In the end she gives up and lets him go but no without great regret. My favourite character from this book is Ellie, Tamsin's younger sister. I think I like her because she kind of represents me. What I mean is that, when my sister got a boyfriend I would tease her just like Ellie does when Tamsin gets a boyfriend. Overall I would give this book a 4/5 because I think it is a great read for teenagers.
