This review is from: Mates, Dates, and Tempting Trouble (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the eighth book in the Mates, Dates series. T.J. is doing a joint-school project and is assigned to work with Nesta's boyfriend, Luke. He tells her that he really likes her and says he will break up with Nesta so that he can go out with T.J. but T.J. is going out with Steve and doesnt want to hurt him or Nesta. Theres also Sian, a girl working with them on the preoject, and she tells T.J. that Luke said the same thing to her. When T.J. confronts Luke, he says that he didnt, and that Sian is just hoplessly in love with him and threw herself at him. Then Nesta starts to find out and she wont talk to T.J. and it becomes T.J. and Izzie against Lucy and Nesta. Read it to find out what happens!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Falling For a Friend's Fella, April 6, 2005

T.J. is interested in history and historical places. Her friends are not. Then a huge multi-school project is assigned to record the history of London. T.J. finds herself in a group with Nesta's boyfriend.

Nesta's boyfriend seems to have the same interests as T.J. Nesta asks T.J. to be friendlier to him. He talks about breaking with Nesta to everyone but Nesta.

Now T.J. finds herself in the uncomfortable position of liking a guy and not wanting to hurt her friend. But as said boyfriend seems to be playing an even wider field than originally thought, T.J. must make some very tough decisions if she is going to maintain her friendships with the other girls.

Pretty good but with a little less character development than the previous volumes. Certainly T.J. must make decisions and changes but they are not the same type found earlier. It is still a good story and provides a good lesson about dealing with your mates.

I really like this series so far. This is because I can relate to some of the problems the characters run into. Their problems are real life situations that anyone one could have.These books never have a boring point in them you never want to stop reading them. It was hard for me to put it down it keeps you on the edge and wanting to know more.I really like how they make it feel as if your there with them and ond one their friends. Overall I loved the book and hope to read the whole series. I recommand this book to girls who are between 13 and 15 years old and whose friends are a big part in their lives.
