Product Description
Product Description
Half term may be over but the chaos has just begun. Mr Logan has run off and eloped with Miss Sharkreve leaving the Lower Sixth with a new housemistress - the tyrannical, catty Mrs Dicks. And with the rules getting tighter at St Cecilia's the students are getting way more creative in finding ways to break them - especially as they're all feeling a bit frisky.
Tally, broken hearted and on the rebound, sets her sights on safe bet Rando, while Alice and Tristan decide to take their relationship to the next level. Things between Dylan and Jasper are seriously heating up - could she finally have found a guy who won't disappoint her?
As tensions reach an explosive high, a pool party at Rando's country estate should be just the thing to cool everyone down. Or will it push the temperature up a notch?

Young, Loaded and Fabulous follows the It girls of St Cecilia's boarding school, where for a considerable fee, super rich parents can enrol their offspring to get the best education money can buy... and get rid of them for the duration of the school term.
As Kiss and Break Up is the third book in the series, it did take me a little while to get the characters and their backstories straight in my head. However, Kate Kingsley does a great job of catching new readers up on the events of the previous books, and it only took a few chapters for me to pick a favourite character: Alice Rochester, the super glam queen bee who isn't quite as self-assured as she seems. Like all the best teen queens, Alice is the kind of character who sometimes has to get nasty to keep her crown... but every now and then, shows a softer, vulnerable side that can't fail to win the reader over. Her arch enemy is American Dylan Taylor, who just happens to be the ex-girlfriend of Alice's seriously fit boyfriend, Tristan.
In fact, reading Kiss and Break Up made me wish I had read the previous books in this series, simply because this one is so much fun. Every now and then a character would mention an intriguing snippet about another character's past, and I'd find myself wanting to know more. The scandalous behaviour of the St Cecilia's girls - and their Hasted House boyfriends - makes for a light and entertaining read about characters that seem to have stepped right out of a tantalising gossip column. Don't get me wrong, some members of Alice's crew do have some serious issues to deal with - like adjusting to their mum's new relationship, or parenting the troubled little sister who's also been offloaded into the care of St. Cecilia's - but they do it with style.
One thing that did surprise me is that these characters are every bit as wild as the cover blurb suggests. I'm used to reading YA books about characters who are described as rebellious but use cleaner language than your Great Aunt Doris - and Kiss and Break Up is not one of those books. The boys and girls of Young, Loaded and Fabulous may be posh, but they're not exactly what you'd call polite society. They party, they take risks, and they behave badly. And you know what? It's all terribly fun.
I'd recommend Kiss and Break Up for anyone who enjoys escaping into a glamorous world of scandal, drama and betrayal. Like the warning on the cover says, it's 'not for the prim and proper'. A juicy read.

I've been a big fan of this series ever since book 1, and the books just keep getting better and better! like the first two books in this series, Kiss & Break Up is full of suspense, gossip, scandal, and heartache. It's definitely the steamiest book so far, with love and lust playing a very prominent role. if you like this series already, then definitely read this book. if you haven't started the series yet, then now is the time to get going! personally, I can't wait to see what happens in book 4.

Kiss & Break Up is the third book in the Young, Loaded & Fabulous series, and I think it's the best so far. The back cover really isn't lying when it says temperatures will rise, and it's pretty clear from the first couple of chapters that this instalment is by far the most risqué.
Alice and Tally still rule St. Cecilia's girls boarding school, and in turn have all the richest, hottest London boys chasing after them. These boys don't come without their fair share of drama, though, and as always the girls are left to make the big decisions and deal with the fallout.
Kiss & Break Up is full of sex, lies and revelations, and it makes for a cracking read. Think Gossip Girl's wealthy Upper East Siders living in London, and you get the general gist of the plot: it's all about who rules, who's sleeping with who and who's sporting the latest designer labels. Sometimes I do feel that the plot moves a bit too slowly, but I think that's because it's very character driven, and takes its time getting to know everyone inside out.
I really enjoy this series, and I can't wait for the next book, Too Cruel For School. It's the perfect series for fans of Gossip Girl, It Girl and Private, and is chock-full of shocks and scandal. Love it!
