This book is special because of its unique setting that hasn't been done too often before, but is one with which many readers will be familiar - most teenagers have either been on or know someone who has been on an exchange of some kind. The setting of Paris is exciting and surprisingly rare for books aimed at teenagers, and the new vocab Connie logs each day is both entertaining and educational - I now just need to manage to work ''on est interdir de sortie'' and ''une salope'' into conversation.
''Ooh la la'' is the second book in the Connie Pickles set, but you do not really need to have read the first, [[''Cross Your Heart, Connie Pickles]]'' to appreciate this one. If anything, I think this, the sequel, is even a bit better than ''Cross Your Heart''. The characters are mainly the same, but the setting of the second book really appealed to me. That said, I am sure those who liked the original will certainly enjoy the sequel.
Thank you to the publishers for supplying this book.
