From Booklist

From females of every age, including women who remember what it was like, come tales of first love, heartbreak, friendship, and loss. This companion book to Chocolate for a Teen's Soul (2000) contains 55 original stories, many of which are Christian-based. Female readers--from teenage girls seeking to find their place in this world to women well beyond their teens--will be renewed by these poignant stories and their continual theme of hope. Several of the stories depict the mistakes we make in our lives and the importance of learning from those mistakes and moving on. Since there are so many contemporary books that portray the darker side of life, this collection of positive stories should prove refreshing and will be popular with fans of inspirational tales.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not to bad, April 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chocolate for A Teen's Heart: Unforgettable Stories for Young Women About Love, Hope, and Happiness (Chocolate Series) (Paperback)

This book has positive messages for teen's hearts, but this book isn't as interesting, as fulfilling, or as entertaining as other books similar to this that are on the market. Instead I would recomend the Chicken Soup books made for teens, The Teen Ink series, or Taste Berries for Teens. These are the books that I think are of better quality. There is more to read in these books as well. But this is only one teen's opinion. :D

This review is from: Chocolate for A Teen's Heart: Unforgettable Stories for Young Women About Love, Hope, and Happiness (Chocolate Series) (Paperback)

This book "Chocolate For A Teen'a Heart" by Kay Allenbaugh was a fantastic read that had many useful lessons and subjects!

It was beautifully written and each story is unique and descriptive. Alot like Chicken Soup books, this book has certain sections. It has seven sections that cover subjects.

55 beautifully written stories all wrote by young women, teenagers, or older women who rememebr a certain teenage time.

This stories truly lift your spirits and leave you wanting more chocolate!

This book is great for teens but also women of all ages have been known to enjoy iy.

I recommend you give this book a try! It has a very catchy cover but the tru beauty and lessons you will learn are in the inside of this book.

My friend and I read this book around the same time. We shared our favorites, laughed over the funny ones, and even got tears over the sadder ones.

This book is great to read alone, w/ a friend, mother, grandmother, or any other female relative.

I highly recommend this book! Its a great read and so much more!
