Jess is in a fix. She has to write a letter to Edouard, her French exchange, before he comes to visit, and her normal ability to write charismatic, charming and seductive letters has deserted her. But there is an even worse problem. She has to send a photo. The idea fills Jess with a special sort of fear. But she has a solution - a digitally enhanced solution - and who better to ask to help than her best mate Fred?

It''s only when you''ve stopped laughing that you realise in addition to being incredibly funny, Sue Limb has dealt seamlessly with the bigger themes of friendship and loyalty

Fans will lap up this prequel as it charts Fred and Jess''s relationship - and Jess''s relationships with others - before Fred and Jess actually get together. The whole book sparkles with Sue Limb''s characteristic wit and humour, and will send fans racing to read the rest of the books in the series.
