About book Mates, Dates, And Cosmic Kisses (2003)

This book is mostly about Lucy's story. Lucy saw this guy at a shop. She liked him a lot. He said she will call her , but he never did. So that had Lucy going crazy. It was tearing her away from her friends and family. It was all about Mark calling her. There was an external conflict between Nesta and Izzie when Izzie was getting happy about Mark. Nesta kept saying the opposite and that made Izzie feel bad. This took place in London. The main characters are Izzie, Nesta, and Lucy. Text to Self. Izzie was confused about guys and how they were. She was confused when Mark went out with her and then didn't call. She kept wondering if he still liked her. I could connect to this because a while ago, this guy said that he did like me. But he never called or texted me. So I was confused about him and how he felt about me. I gave this book 4 stars because I agree with everything said in this book. Guys are so confusing. Izzie said why should the guys take control in the relationship. I agree, the girls should also be able to call the guys, etc. Why should the girls have to wait for the guys to call? Izzie started to take control and I thought that this was a good idea.

This book was funny and cute and true. I only wish I had read it when I was 14. It's more than fiction it's like the girls guide to adolescense. The relationships in this book so closely mirrored the relationships I had myself as a teenager and I think if I had read it then I could more fully understood what was going on. Cathy Hopkins had one underlying resounding lesson throughout the book and that was confidence. Boys don't find anything more attractive than a girl with a solid back-bone and a girl who isn't going to let them mess her around. If only I had realized that sooner a lot of heartbreak and nights by the phone could have been avoided. You live - you learn but I highly recomend this book. Not just to, but especially to Preteen/teenagers.

Do You like book Mates, Dates, And Cosmic Kisses (2003)?

These books are probably the easiest series I've read! They have a really low reading level, but I read them just for the heck of it! Just so you know it's based on girls that don't live in the US! It took me forever to figure that out!!! *face palm at my dumbness* However, if you're looking for a really simple series to read this one might work! I don't exactly remember the books, but I don't think you even have to really read all of them to figure out a good ending. Either way I could read each one in about a day and I enjoyed them!

It was OK...It's weird. When I read these as a teen, Izzie was my favourite character. But I don't really like her now I'm older. She's too whiny. So I didn't enjoy this book as much as this one was focused mainly on her.The best part of this series is the subtle lessons - namely don't be a slag and don't give in to pushy boys who want you to go further than you're comfortable with.Another tween book for girls, carrying on the teenage drama of the Mates, Dates series with a feel-good ending that has you smiling despite yourself.

I thought that the opening tone was going to make for super-cringey reading but over the course of the book, it turned into something that younger-me would have loved reading on a sunny afternoon. The poems/ songs were a fun touch and the way the main characters handled their respective issues was fairly awesome and grown-up.I do wish the word 'tart' hadn't come up so much, but then again, this was written back in 2001.The major plus to this being set in North London in the early 2000s was that it mentioned Camden in it's glorious alt days. Huzzah!
