Shipped off to France for Easter for some continental 'culture', Hannah finds herself staying with her mother's best friend. And her mother's best friend's daughter. Who happens to be tall, horribly stylish and has that irritating way of turning a scarf into the latest fashion accessory. To make matters worse (if possible) the daughter's friend is coming to stay with them - doubly bad for the ego, twice the competition for the bathroom. But then 'Michel' turns out to be a boy Cue rivalry with a continental flavour in a fantastically scandal-rich and brilliantly compelling teen coming-of-age drama.
