Doria a quinze ans, un sens aigu de la vanne, une connaissance encyclopédique de la télé et des rêves qui la réveillent. Elle vit seule avec sa mère dans une cité de Livry-Gargan, depuis que son père est parti un matin pour trouver au Maroc une femme plus jeune et plus féconde. Ça, chez Doria, ça s’appelle le mektoub , le destin : « Ça veut dire que, quoique tu fasses, tu te feras couiller. » Alors autant profiter du présent avec ceux qui l’aiment ou font semblant. Sa mère d’abord, femme de ménage dans un Formule 1 de Bagnoletet soleil dans sa vie. Son pote Hamoudi, qui l’a connue alors qu’elle était « haute comme une barrette de shit ».Mme Burlaud, sa psychologue,qui met des porte-jarretelleset sent le Parapoux. Ou encore Aziz, l’épicier du Sidi Mohamed Market avec qui Doria essaie en vainde caser sa mère. Kiffe kiffe demain est d’abord une voix, celle d’une enfant des quartiers. Un roman plein de sève, d’humour et de vie. La couverture peut varier. Review: Satisfying tale a good way to brush up one's French - Great narrative told by a troubled teen about life as a poor immigrant growing up in the outskirts of Paris. I read it in French--I don't know if it's available in English--and it's a fine way to practice one's French and learn some contemporary slang into the bargain. The narrator is a recognizable adolescent, alienated and turned off by the life she's been forced to lead but clearly ready to grow and change if anyone takes a real interest in her, and almost without her realizing it, people do. It's a terrific voyage of discovery and a good read. Review: Fantastique !! - Wonderful book! A little difficult to understand as a non-native, but it still was comedic and gave great insight to a different way of life. The people seemed so real, and their stories reflect the lives of so many today! It's a great read for advanced-low to advanced-mid French learners

Fantastique !!
Wonderful book! A little difficult to understand as a non-native, but it still was comedic and gave great insight to a different way of life. The people seemed so real, and their stories reflect the lives of so many today! It's a great read for advanced-low to advanced-mid French learners

Five Stars
Had enormous success with this in AP French classes. One can assign as much or as little as desired since the sections are quite short. I put ALL the vocabulary on Quizlet, and the sets are open, so help yourself. Sorry, I did do French to English! The students loved learning all the slang and some "gros mots." Since AP French is so challenging, there needs to be some short-term payoff, and the slang and "gros mots" was it. Very satisfying for them also to have read an entire novel (it is short)! Finally, the novel is in a very spoken style, so, indirectly, I think it helps their speaking.

No page locations
Great book, but the Kindle version is not useful for class because it has no page locations.

Engaging and funny
I love the characters,each was different but also similar as humans. The writer exposes the vunerabilities of each one and in the end, shows us despite the short comings of each character, they are still beautiful. It was aa true joy to read the book.

An insightful and funny view of life in a Parisian suburb
This is a really good novel as it conveys a lot of information in an interesting way (with lots of humour). It is ideal for young learners of French as AS/A level students can easily identify with the fictional author, Doria. She like them is a teenager facing many of the same situations and challenges people of her age face growing up in any country. Another specific set of issues facing her is that of having a mixed cultural background. Her family roots are in Morocco but she is very much French. The language isn't too difficult (although you will need a dictionary) and it is very funny. A superb read.
