As she discovers this years ranking, falling short of winning gold, she befriends Astrid and Hakima whom become quick friends to her.
They all have a reason to get to Paris by July 14th, as on that date, Mireille's real but secret father the president's husband is part of a party of which Hakima's brother whom is an ex soldier who's lost his legs in the war, wants to raise awareness of his inquiry into events that happened out at war.
The girls all use Mireille's bike's and borrow a trailer to use to sell sausages to fund their trip as they gogo, united by their love of good food.
As they venture on, more publicity builds from stalking reporters to more social media roar about them and their journey.
Malo also surfaces along the way and causes hassle and they also experience new things from parties with alcohol to getting your first period and making memories and lasting friends or sisters.
I loved Mireille's sarcasm and humour she was a vibrant, witty and unforgettable character from the start of the book and really knew how to handle any situation thrown at them, I also loved how she called Kader, her crush 'the sun' as he's so hot to her, truly relatable to teen girls with a huge crush! The story itself had such deep meaning behind their quest as they set out to prove ugly girls are great girls and looks aren't everything as they raise money for a good cause and do it together having fun and making memories. Meanwhile the vibe of the book being about breaking standards of beauty set in schools and by society as we harshly judge each other is so true and relevant now Clementine did a great job with!
