Angels,Tears,and Teddybears is one of the best books I've ever read. I can really relate to Abigal. Everything she goes through seems so real, it's like reading someone's diary. The other characters are great too. I wish I could find a guy like Josh. Even though he seems like a jerk at times, his intentions are good. This book was written by a teen, which is why I think it's so believable. I have two more words for you BUY IT!

I read this novel when the author had it posted on writing.com (sadly its off now, but anyway), and I LOVED it! This book is...so real and...what's the word...amazing! Its been awhile since I've read it, but I remember the links between the characters and how strong they are. This is an excellent book, and I think that 1-Jessica Kosko is going FAR in life...

I read this book out of curiosity. The author was from an area of Pennsylvania I once knew well. Most new authors write about what they know. I thought it would be interesting to read about old haunts...however very little of the story took place in PA. Most of the book took place in a small town in New York. Although I am long passed the teeny-bopper era, I must admit it held my interest.

It is a sweet love story, so like the first romances many teens experience...the intense, painful first-loves that awaken new emotions, confuse and overwhem the young. Many will relate to the teen problems, experience the thrill of proms, first dates, teenage problems, hangouts, relationships, the aches and pains of young adults coming-of-age; competition among peers, baseball games, parental problems, jealousy, secrets, whispers, first jobs, coffehouses, pizza parlors...typical teenage situations.

Characterization is strong and easy to visualize. Kosko writes dialogue easily, although at times it can be repetitive, but not enough to not want to finish the novel.

I recommend it for young adults, especially those who enjoy romance novels.

All in all, I enjoyed watching the development of her likeable characters. I am sure young girls will be reading more of Jessica Kosko novels in the future.

This book is boring. It was written by an 18-year-old aspiring literary agent who only wrote it to get her foot in the door. The way I see it, she's going to need bandages for all five toes, because the plot is underdeveloped, the characters are transparent, and the flow is poor. Save yourself the trouble of self-inflicting pain.
