Review
'Sue Limb's latest installment in the saga of Jess' relationship is as funny as ever ... It is the type of teenage fiction I wish had been available when I was 15.' --Georgina Henratty, Publishing News
`There are the same hallmarks of quality - endearing and credible characters, humorous but telling explorations of teenage preoccupations and laugh out loud wit ... Would it be too much to hope for a fourth book to add to this splendid series?' --Books for Keeps
`Hilarious and spot-on in how it captures those boyfriend blues' --Mizz
`Funny and witty with impressive use of original description, Girl 16 is an excellent teenage read' --Big Issue - The North
`A hilarious catalogue of disasters, in the same vein as Bridget Jones ... will be thoroughly enjoyed by most teenage girls'
--School Librarian
Product Description
Jess and Fred are finally an 'item'. They have spent the remainder of their summer holidays just as they planned to, creating some fabulous comedy routines together. Until one fateful morning in the park just before term starts when Fred casually mentions that he is not sure that he wants to go out with Jess any more. Jess is outraged! As ever, Sue Limb's narrative is fresh, funny and effervescent, simultaneously capturing the agonies, the indecisions, the wrong moves, the misunderstandings that are all part of a first-ever relationship. This novel is a brilliantly engrossing read.

Product Description
Disaster! Jess tried to hide her horror. Her mum frowned. 'What's wrong, sweetheart? It's what you've always wanted!' Jess's mum has finally capitulated and arranged a trip to see Jess's dad. 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 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). Jess is keen to keep in touch with Fred by text while she is away, but after a while he just stops responding. 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. If Jess isn't careful, her worries are going to completely spoil her much-wanted visit to her dad. But when she gets there, it turns out that everybody has a surprise for each other.
