Book Overview

"Hey listen guys. I need you to tell me something and I want you to be really really honest...." "Sounds serious," said Nesta. "It is. I want you to tell me, do you think I've put on weight?" Nesta, Lucy, and T J looked at each other. "No," said T J after a moment too long. "Not really. Well, we all did a little on the school trip. So no more than the rest of us."

Customer Reviews

One of the best ones in the series...cant put it down! :-*

I recommend this book (and series) to teenage girls because you can really relate to the characters. Many girls struggle with their weight, but if they read this book, they might feel better about themselves. Also, this book shows girls what is a healthy choice to lose weight, and what is an unhealthy waste of time. The four girls in this series have many everyday problems that girls, mainly in their teens can relate to... including boys, family, and school. Also, this series is great because so many surprises occur that keep the pages turning. This is a great book and a great series...so I recommend this teen read.

something every teen girl should read

As always Cathy Hopkins wrote a wonderful addition to the Mates, Dates series. In this one, after just getting back from there tour of Italy, Izzie battles a weight problem. She goes on many fad diets and programs. I think its really important for young girls to read this because it really tells how managing weight can be hard and what are some of the wrong ways of going about loosing it.

Great book!

This book was just as funny as the rest of the series. It was exciting, and surprising at the end. As usual, it made me laugh a lot, and it was very refreshing and unique from other book series in general. I love the was Cathy Hopkins writes about how typical teenagers grow up in England and how it's so similar and different at the same time.

Teens love it

I bought it for my 13 and 15-year old daughters, they just love the series and have read all of them

Mates Dates And Chocolate Cheats

This book in particular I found very funny . Since the girls came back from Florence Izzie Realises she has put o some weight . She tries every kind of diet known to man and tries to find one that will make the weight fall off of her. Her initiall reaction was that she looked like a whale . All in all I found this book a great read. I also recomend that you read Mates Dates And Great Escapes first so you understand all aspects of the book . Hannah Johnston , Glasgow
