Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK 1965 - I felt a tickle of curiosity at the thought of kissing a boy and wondered how you did it without throwing up. Susie had never complained about kissing Dave, so maybe it wasn"t as bad as it looked. Fifteen-year-old Meggie is more than happy for her best friends, Susie and Dave, to be going out with each other, but how would she feel if a boy liked her enough to want to kiss her? A summer of self-discovery, success and despair lies ahead of Meggie when she and Susie go on holiday together to Beadnell Bay in beautiful Northumberland.
