About book Mates, Dates, And Sole Survivors (2003)
Baca buku ini karena disodorin temen. Katanya lumayan :DTrus, ya udah, coba baca.Baca ini jadi inget film AADC (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta). Tapi cuman global doang, sih. Tentang empat cewek yang sobatan. Trus, mereka berempat ini saling mendukung satu sama lain. Termasuk masalah kisah cinta. Dibanding ketiga sahabatnya, cuma Lucy-lah yang jomblo. Setelah sebelumnya bermaksud pengen balik lagi ama Tonny, kakak Nesta, cowok yang cakep banget. Cuma ternyata, pas udah mau nembak Tonny, ternyata Lucy baru tahu kalo Tonny udah punya cewek.Lalu, di saat ketiga sahabatnya menghabiskan waktu liburan bersama pacar masing-masing, ibu Lucy malah mendaftarkan Lucy untuk bergabung dengan ayahnya di semacam kamp natural gitu, deh. Semacam program kembali ke alam, untuk mengembalikan semua energi positif ke dalam tubuh.Sebenernya, sih, banyak yang kejadian lucu selama di acara program ini. Trus gimana Lucy akhirnya ketemu cowok yang nyaris sempurna di sana.Humm, kalo seandainya saya belum baca The Lonely Hearts Club, mungkin saya nggak akan ngeliat kemiripan dari beberapa ceritanya. Standar sih, ya. Tapi, untuk alasan ini, saya jadi kepaksa kasih dua. Meski saya mungkin unfair, karena saya sendiri ga tau mana yang terbit duluan atau ada maksud mereka mencontek.Eh, saya nggak tahu kalo ternyata ini serial. Belum nemu buku lainnya. Baru nemu buku pertamanya. Belum dibaca sih :DTapi buat bacaan ringan, buku ini lumayan banget, kok :D
The Mates, Dates books are great in general! I read this one and really liked it! They are very teen novels (particually for the older teen) but they are filled with lots crushes with boys, things with friends and lots more! It tells about 4 friends living in London (even though a few words are British such as the bathroom is loo in England, the only majorly used word that is not used in America that I could find is snog which means kiss). One of the the down sides to these books are that each book is told by a different friend and it gets confusing. Also it seems to only appeal to a certain audience (as most teen books do). These books, however, aren't the best books for a younger teen such as a 12 or 13 year-old. Even though the girls in the are 14 the seem to act older and could pass for 16 or 17. Don't worry though, these books in my opinion may only appeal to older teens, but they do not have references of sex all the time such as the series Gossip Girl. These books are great and I would recommend them, but only to a certain kind of person. I give this book 3 stars.

The main character is Lucy! this book is about Lucy having trouble with love. at first she was planning to be with Tony but suddenly Tony didn't want to anymore. Lucy later met Daniel. she thought he was the perfect person but nothing is as good as it sounds. he is a control freak! they broke it and Tony and Lucy was about to be together again. an important lesson was that your friends are still important even though yu have a boyfriend. overall this book was alright since it kept me reading but didn't really have central theme. the book was like watching an episode of a television show.
