Synopsis

Spoiler shield

What was supposed to be summer school in England becomes an adventurous, exotic and romantic journey for a beautiful teenage girl. [from the Tai Seng Catalog] A nice story of a free-spirited (or, depending on your viewpoint, prick-teasing) young woman on a short journey of discovery.
