When Edie sees Dylan for the first time in photography class she falls for him instantly. But Dylan is the moody popular boy that all the girls lust after—how can Edie make him hers?

Lucky for Edie, Dylan notices her soon enough, and it’s not long until the two are kissing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go smoothly from there—they can’t get enough of each other but because Dylan is his moody self, he often confuses poor Edie, who can be unstable. Whenever alone, the two kiss and can’t get enough of each other, but when they’re out in public, Dylan doesn’t treat her like anything more than a friend. So Edie ends up going out with another boy when Dylan appears to be close with other girls.

Edie befriends Shona, however, she might have a thing for Dylan, but she really likes Paul, Dylan’s best friend. Mia, who was one of Edie’s friends, is the one who’s all over Paul, and they end up dating. With all these love triangles, disaster is inevitable! Can they survive the upcoming photography trip to Paris? Will Dylan finally show his true feelings? And will it be for Edie, whom he shares hot kisses with in the corners? Or someone else? With dirty tricks and mean girls and tricky relationships, true colors will show before the end!

French Kiss is the first book of the trilogy “Diary of a Crush.” Although this was an enjoyable book, it just wasn’t as good as other chick lits out there. The plot wasn’t brilliant, nor was the development of the characters. But if you’re looking for a quick, fun read, then this book is for you! You may enjoy it, or you may not, but I just don’t feel all that compelled to finish reading this trilogy.

Nothing too explicit in this book; but lots of kissing and a few mentions of other teenage topics, so I’d recommend this for teens 14 and up.
