Fine and Funny!
This time, I actually laughed in front of my sisters and in my class.
Luckily, they didn't call the psychiatry ward!
This time, we can see that Rachel is more mature than the previous book (Bras and Broomsticks).
This time, it is more about Rachel knowing what's right and discovering things on her own since her mother is kind of messed up.
I love the plot, the conflict, the family problems and the magics in this book.
The spell are cool too.

I think that this book is an okay book. So far i have only started reading this book and it is about this teenage girl named Rachel and she's a witch, well soon to become one. Her sister is already a witch who got the powers. rachel wants to become a witch but her powers have yet to come.
I find the character really anyoying because all she cares is about herself and the things she wants like clothes and boys. She takes her true friends for granted and she thinks that she can use magic to s More...

Hooray for Rachael, her powers finally kick in. And as she's really excited to use them, she can't. Why? Because she doesn't know how to control them. So while she has difficulty on getting used to them, she's still happy that she's no longer an outcast compared to her mother and sister. Rachael then tries her powers out. After the incident at dance performance,she accidentally stood up Raf when she went to her dad's wedding, which was on the same day as the Spring Fling. Rachael tried a love sp

I loved how well Sarah Mlynowski timed her first book to her second book... it took me a little while to figure out that they skipped the summer and takes place the day before the semester starts again. I felt really bad for Rachel in the beginning of the book because the whole school hated her for what happened, Raf hated her, and her best friend was sick from mono. But after a quick love spell that Miri did for Rachel... Raf's older brother seemed to gave fallen for Rachel.. and EVERYTHING cha

This is book number 2 in a series. Rachel is jealous that her younger sister has magical powers like their mother. In order to deal with this fact, Rachel is accepting as long as she gets what she wants, which is why she manipulates her little sister to give her whatever she wants. But the sisters learn there are consequences to any action and they get themselves into huge trouble, along with their mother who decides she shouldn't be single anymore after the remarriage of her ex-husband.

In frogs and french kisses by sarah mlynowski, i enjoyed reading this book because it gives me a scene of imagination. This book is about a girl and she just realized that her mom and sisters are witches. She wants to make a love potion but her mother won''t let. Her mother is now dating because her parents are divorced and her father got remarried. It all started when he stepped out of the bus and Rachael was helping her mom meet people. Rachael was afraid to go to school because of a fashion d

This is the second book in the series that started with Bras & Broomsticks. Rachel and her sister Miri are back again and once more wreaking havoc with magic. This was a fun and rolicking read. I was giggling and laughing through much of it. Mlynowski is great at delivering a punchline and the humor is spot on throughout. I can't help but like Miri, Rachel and their whole family. Each character is funny and engaging and far from perfect. They feel like real people and not just characters on a pa

There is this girl and her mom and sister are witches and she is not a witch. Her name is Rachel. She gets into some trouble and wants her sister to help her solve them by using magic, but it turns everything into a big disaster! Rachel likes this boy and they break up becuase she stood him up to go to her dads wedding.
I gave this book 4 stars becuase it had a really good meaning behind it and I really liked it. It describes things really well also.

This book is is the 2nd book in the bras and broomsticks series. It is even funnier than the first book because Rachel(the main character) tells her sister(the witch) to cast a love spell on this boy she likes. About a week later, while rachel was at a wedding, the boy comes over to talk to rachel. Apparently the only person there is rachels mom. While the hottie turns to leave he dropped "his glove out of his pocket, and didnt notice. When the girls came home they found the glove and decid

I read this book because it was given to my daughter from our library.
It was a cute story, but, I was dissapointed in the fact that the author felt the need to discribe french kissing in such detail. And the fact that one of the Mothers was married to a women.
I realize that my daughter being 12 years old already knows about these things, but I feel the story would have been just as good if those two little things were left out. They only took up a small space in the st More...

Frogs and French kisses is the second book in the Magic In Manhattan Series, which starts off where the 1st book (Bras and Broomsticks) ended. I really enjoyed reading the 1st book in the series and i didn't have any doubts about the sequel living up to my expectations. It was funnier and crazier then the 1st book! I LOVED it!

I do this all the time! I rate the second book in a series higher than the first. Probably because I've already been introduced to the characters and it's easier to get into the story. Or maybe it's just better. Who knows?

After I had finished reading the first book in this series, BRAS & BROOMSTICKS, I was sure that it couldn't get much better. Fortunately for me and everyone else reading the books, it does indeed get even better!

I wasn't sure about this one. I had enjoyed the first but it wasn't the best book ever. But this one, wow it's well good. It's much, much, much better and I sure will enjoy the next one if what happened at the end of this one was real.
This time Rachel and her sister Miri aren't in trouble their mother has decided that they can use magic. But by the end they've learned great deal about witchcraft and using it. And they now understand better why their mother isn't a practicing witch.

This is the second book in a series about a family of witches in Manhattan. The tone is very similar to the TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Why suffer through the trials of life as a high school student when you can solve them through magic? But everything has consequences, even magic done with good intentions, and the consequences for Rachel and her sister Miri are highly amusing to read. A light book, but there are some laughs to be had.

At the beginning of this semester Rachel is the target of one of the A-listers, London Zeal. Since Rachel's mess up at the fashion show, it is London's top priority to make Rachel miserable. Luckily Rachel's mom took off the magic ban. Can Rachel solve her problems with magic? Or will it bring more problems? Find out in Frogs & French Kisses.

This is actually the second in the series- but as my library is a total whackjob, it's the one they sent me first. I reserved all 3 via the inter-library loan system, each book being at a different location. This one was at the closest branch.
They may be Y/A Fiction but I am loving them!
According to the author's note, they are also being made into a movie!
Squee!

I must say that I'm constantly surprised when I like books that normally don't look like they'd appeal to me. I had some clue on this one because I read the first book.
I really love the way the author balances her main character. Rachel is a freshman in high school, self-centered as any teen, but still loves her family and is more intelligent than you can tell at times. I really recommend these books to any teen who likes a little paranormal fun and more of a chic-lit feel to it.

If you haven't read the first book, Bras and Broomsticks, I really recommend you read it before you read frogs and French kisses, because you might just not get anything. I promise you, once you read the first one you'll be hooked!!!!

Frogs and French Kisses by Sarah Mlynowski is the second book in a young adult series called All About Rachel. This is a very cute series, I love the family aspect that is bestowed in these books. The mother is a hoot in this book with the different parent philosophies that she has with her two daughters. The girls have been through a lot with the divorce and also with school things going on.
