Lucy, Izzy, and Nesta are sassy, sparkling...and utterly smitten.

In Mates, Dates, and Inflatable Bras, Lucy is at a turning point. She doesn't feel like she fits in with her friends Izzie and Nesta. Then Lucy sees the most wonderful boy, and things start to change -- in all areas of her life.

Izzie is smitten with Mark in Mates, Dates, and Cosmic Kisses. When Izzie cancels plans just so she's available if Mark should call, Lucy and Nesta know they need to intervene. But how can they help when Izzie is convinced that she and Mark are destined to be together?

Nesta meets a boy of her own in Mates, Dates, and Designer Divas. Simon is rich and his lifestyle is totally glamorous. So is his friend Cressida. But competing for Simon's affections could cost Nesta more than she anticipated.

This review is from: Friend Me: Mates, Dates, and Inflatable Bras; Mates, Dates, and Cosmic Kisses; Mates, Dates, and Designer Divas (Paperback)

In FRIEND ME, Lucy, Izzie, and Nesta's adventures are both hilarious and heartbreaking. From cover to cover, I found myself laughing, crying, and smiling with the three girls as they battle relateable struggles in high school.

The British point-of-view of the book is original and fresh, and really adds to the story. The trio's ups and downs are completely entertaining, and I really couldn't put the book down until I was finished.

I really enjoyed the fact that FRIEND ME contained three books in one: MATES, DATES, AND INFLATABLE BRAS - MATES, DATES, AND COSMIC KISSES - and MATES, DATES, AND DESIGNER DIVAS. I wouldn't have been able to wait until each one was released to find out what happens next!

Cathy Hopkins succeeds with this novel that sparkles with both humor and heartache.

This review is from: Friend Me (Mates, Dates) (Kindle Edition)

A Great read for Teenagers! I read it before I let my daughter have a go, it is an insight into the world of the young! I think that in the world that we live in today it is vital that we as parents are not ignorant to what our 14 year olds are discussing and actually doing! Millions are dying of Aids not to mention STD's and teenage pregnancy! Debate is good for the mind, not discussing these issues is ignorant and extremely dangerous!

We were shocked to find this and similar books in a middle school library. Parents need to read these books and see what the schools are doing to our youngsters. Sex at 14 being discussed and debated, extreme views for such a young reader.
