Fashionista Kat is banished to a remote Swedish Island for the summer when her parents catch her (sort of) kissing her sister’s ex-boyfriend. It’s a nightmare – the island’s one shop doesn’t even sell clothes, her friends are hundreds of miles away, and the only way to even get phone signal is to swim out to a tiny rock just off the shore.
The silver lining is Leo, the ripped local boy in whom Kat sees serious boyfriend potential. But when her attempts to woo him don’t go according to plan, Kat has to dig deep inside and figure out what’s truly important to her. Far away from everything she loves, what can help Kat embrace who she really is on the inside?
One of four connected books about best friends – don’t miss the rest of the Friends Like Us series: Bea, Betty and Pearl.

Hi Esme What a lovely message – thank you so much – it’s made my day!! Basically, the reason I wrote Sunkissed and my other books was because I hoped one day someone like you would read them and enjoy them. I’m so pleased that you liked Sunkissed – I loved writing it – and I hope you manage to get hold of my other books. I really enjoyed visiting your school and hopefully I’ll come back some day. If I do, make sure you come and say hello as I’ll remember you! xxJenny

Hi I’m not writing any teen books at the moment, but I am writing middle grade fiction. Having said that, I do have a few ideas for teen books in my head so you never know! x
