    Bethany and Carlota have been best friends ever since Carlota moved from Brussels. Ever since then, Carlota has
    been pining after her ex, Yves, though she doesn’t let on, having everyone believe that she’s only interested in
    Kisses Etcetera with a bunch of random guys.

    With her boy snaring techniques, Bethany soon finds herself with her own boyfriend, Declan, but what happens
    when she has a pregnancy scare? Before knowing Bethany’s secret, Carlota comes up with a day out doing
    extreme challenges using magazines to reveal another secret to her best friend.

    EXTREME KISSING was a very interesting novel. Throughout the book, the two girls are hiding things from each
    other but would rather run around London doing crazy tasks instead of owning up to the truth. However, in the end,
    Carlota’s plan to make Bethany chill out does work, but Carlota begins to understand all the worries that Bethany
    used to carry around.

    I was quite shocked by the end of this story. Things aren’t quite what they seem in EXTREME KISSING, and it
    just added to this story’s greatness. If everything was obvious with a happily-ever-after ending, it wouldn’t have
    been as good, but instead, you get romance, lies, mystery, breaking out and living life, and the true meaning of
    friendship.
