Description
Welcome to the life of Taylor Blake: complicated crushes, awkward encounters and hoping for a first kiss! A hilarious and heartfelt new teen series that fans of Geek Girl and Jacqueline Wilson will love.
‘A fresh, touching story for girls, with a great message’ - Jacqueline Wilson
Taylor is determined to be in control of her own life story - and it’s going to be a romance! So far her entire social life consists of her two best friends Star and Lucy, who are also a couple and always together, plus her sometimes embarrassing but always hilarious Grandma and Grandad. But Taylor writes for the school newspaper, she creates fan-fiction and she’s even been asked to enter a competition by her English teacher – surely she can script the perfect love story for herself?
Her school is about to play host to some French exchange students. They’ll be experts on this topic, Taylor reckons. After all, it must be called French kissing for a reason! The perfect first kiss is surely on the horizon. And Taylor can make it happen – can’t she? This is Taylor’s moment to LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE!

This is such a fun book series for preteen and young teens girls. Taylor Blake is such a relatable character and I highly enjoyed a series for tweens that was fun, relatable, and age appropriate.

Having loved all the books I have read by Laura Jane Williams, I was excited to see she was coming out with a middle grade! As I work with 11-18 year olds, I’m always checking out middle grades too, and safe to say I will be trying to get a copy in for the library!
I thought this book was fun, and shows teenagers in a positive way for readers to be able to relate. This book explored first relationships and first kisses and new experiences, and embarrassing ones! These are all things teenagers do go through, I certainly remember my ten years! Although there were parts where I thought ‘oh no Taylor that’s slightly cringy’ - it iust shows how realistically Taylor and her friends were written, because let’s face it we all made cringe or bad or embarrassing decisions as teens.
I really enjoyed Taylor Blake is a Legend, and I am so so excited for the sequel, Taylor Blake Seizes The Day which comes out Spring 2025!!!
