Does Snogging Count
As Exercise?                                              

“In the back of my rough book I wrote a list of hurdles I needed to overcome in order to meet Luke (my friend Poppy’s fit brother) and some of his friends – almost a date! Writing in my rough book had the added advantage of making me look really busy and productive in class.

1. Get Poppy to invite Jez (she has a crush on him but won’t do anything about it).
2. Phone Luke (ignoring obvious second hurdle of family listening in as am forced to use landline at home).
3. Possibly clarify to Luke who I am.
4. Present compelling reasons as to why Luke would want to agree to the above along with his friends, whom I’ve never met.”

Meet Holly Stockwell – a fourteen-year-old who hates all forms of exercise, gets tongue-tied around boys, and whose best friend, Poppy, seems to be developing a new best friend – the rich and gorgeous Claudia. Can she overcome these traumas without it getting any worse?
