The writing is still fresh, funny and effervescent, but at the same time Sue has captured the difficult, prickly but, above all, loving relationship between a daughter and her parents. In this sequel Sue Limb has surpassed herself. Needless to say, some work out better than others. But when she gets there, it turns out that everybody has a surprise for each other. If Jess isn't careful, her worries are going to completely spoil her much-wanted visit to her dad.

And her best friend Flora is now going to the exact same music festival Jess was supposed to go to! Jess can't help her paranoia about Fred working overtime. And then her maddening mum stepped in: She suddenly announced a two-week 'road trip'. Jess is keen to keep in touch with Fred by text while she is away, but after a while he just stops responding. Just when things were going so well.Jess had the perfect summer planned: She and Fred, lounging in the park, gazing into one another's eyes and engaging in witty repartee. but instead Jess is going on a road trip with her mum and her grandmother (and her grandfather, but he doesn't quite count as he is ashes in an urn). But this is so the wrong moment: Jess has just got it together with Fred, and in an incredibly romantic way he has scraped money together to get them both tickets to the hottest music festival. Fergus probably wont be able to, but Im sure we can get enough to pay your. Set at the same school, with Jess and Flora even making cameo appearances, fans will sink with cries of glee into the familiar humour and the toe-curlingly embarrassing crises that Sue Limb effortlessly and convincingly creates for her characters. 'What's wrong, sweetheart? It's what you've always wanted!' Jess's mum has finally given in and arranged a trip to see Jess's dad. Toby and Chloe have lent me loads of money.
