Kisses for Lula 15 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
Kisses for Lula is kind of YA fiction that I love: contemporary, well-written and hilarious. Reminiscent of the Georgia Nicholson diaries, Lula is our heroine here and she's determined to be kissed before her sixteenth birthday. The only problem is that there's a rumour going around her town that Lula's been jinxed - hence every eligible boy running far, far away from her. Great.

Lula is great and I really hope there's another book in the works as I think it would be lovely to see more of her growing up. The subplot of her father sneaking out late at night with a handbag is brilliant and had me laughing out loud over and over again. Lovely stuff!

Kisses for Lula 8 July 2011
By Jenny, Wondrous Reads TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I've always been a fan of diary-style books, ever since I first read Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging about 10 years ago. Even though I'm no longer a teenage girl (and I'm quite glad about that), I still relate to them in these books I read. I remember what it was like to have a crush who didn't notice you, or embarrassing moments you wish never happened (I once fell through a broken table. Ouch!). Kisses for Lula has all these things and more, and actually turned out to be a more serious read than I thought it would be.

Mackintosh writes about the trials and tribulations of being a teenager, but she also includes adult themes where Lula's parents are concerned - I don't want to spoil anything, so i wont say exactly what. I thought it was all balanced well, though not necessarily a required element of Lula's story. I sometimes found it to be like a dark cloud descending on a sunny day, as it did occasionally overpower Lula's happy-go-lucky narration.

Lula herself was hilarious. She was completely mad, of course, but I loved her for it. She was always hatching plans and getting herself into cringeworthy situations which had me chuckling away to myself. Her sister Pen and friend Arnold were also brilliant, and her core group of girlfriends were like her equivalent of the Ace Gang.

Kisses for Lula is funny, heartwarming and so much more than the bright pink cover suggests. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I can't wait to read the next book. Lula is a great character to compete for the Funniest Fictional Teen award, along with the likes of Sue Limb's Jess Jordan and Carmen Reid's St Jude's girls. Honestly, contemporary British fiction has never been so fun!

Perfect 12 July 2010
Format:Paperback
This is such a good read. There's romance (not straightforward though!), intrigue and lots of laughter. Lula Bird is mad and I'd love to have her as a best friend. It's a perfect book for anyone who's longing to be sixteen or can remember what it was like to be. Thoroughly recommend, even think boys will enjoy Lula's craziness if they can just get past the pink cover. Really hope there'll be more books about Lula's life.

I really enjoyed this book. I feel that it can be read by all ages and it has some "real life" issues and some hysterically funny incidents. Read more

kisses for lulu
If I was a young reader it would be ideal, but for a more mature person I found this hard to really get into. I was getting bored with Lulu wanting to get a kiss before she was 16. Read more

Very enjoyable - except for the "Shmptphhfy!"s
Being male, and with my teenage years some way behind me (although certainly not in spirit), I must confess that 'Kisses for Lula' was a divergence from my regular genres of novel. Read more
