About Mates, Dates and Cosmic Kisses
That's one of the things I really like about you,' said Simon.
What?' I asked.
'Your attitude. You're so confident. It's brilliant.'
Just as well he could see what was going on in my head. It was far from confident. For some reason Cressida really bugged me. It was weird. What Lucy said was true, I gave Cressida permission to make me feel inferior. That confident attitude Simon saw? It was acting.
Nesta has met the perfect boy: good looking, fun, sweet.
But there are problems too. Simon's from a rich, upper class background - with a lifestyle to match - and it's difficult for Nesta to keep up. And then there's Simon's friend, Cressida.
The ice queen. The Portobello Princess.
Not one to give in, Nesta determines to impress the new crowd but finds herself out of her depth. Luckily she has Lucy and Izzie to help her reassess what really matters
