Overview of the entire series

just one warning, stay away from all the new 'his her' series... absolutely lacking in whatever little depth teen romances are suppose to have.on to the more important stuff:i've read most of the books from this series, some are so-so, some are just perfect and makes me read them over and over and over..... and over again. And then there are those that keep making you roll your eyes at the lame dialogues and even lamer plot. Personally, what i like about the good books in the series are the characters that you can really relate to, a good exciting, even quirkyly sweet plot that makes you wanna gush and fall in love, and witty funny dialogue that u would be totally swooned over by if a guy said that in real life.so here's what's really top notch - the number one on my list would be book 32, at first sight, by elizabeth chandler. it is absolutely wonderful and combines so many interesting elements of familys, holidays, love, friendship, etc... just simply the best to me. you just HAVE to read it to find out why.Others that are good include: '11 some girls do', '35 i do', '13 who do you love'Look them up for more details but all i can say is that they come close to 'at first sight'.. The rest of the books are generally alright and it would be hard for me to rank them all here but i prefer:'6 love changes everything','12 hot summer nights', '26 our secret love', '30 falling for ryan', '31 hard to resist', '33 what we did last summer','39 behind his back','40 playing for keeps''super edition summer love'I NOT so prefer:'15 never tell ben' - horrible non-sweet non-happy ending!Hope you read the good ones and feel the same way i do - tingling from head to toe.

My First Love

The novel, My First Love, by Callie West was a very exciting and realistic story. I rated the novel a five and I would encourage anyone that likes to read love stories to read it. Many teenagers enjoy these types of stories My first reason for rating this story a five is because it's a realistic love story. Amy, a main character, has a big crush on Chris but she's too shy to say anything to him. I am sure that many teenagers can relate. It's a very hard thing to do when you're in High School. I find it hard to do because of peer pressure. My second reason for rating this story a five is it teaches you a little about one of life's frustrations. Sometimes you don't have enough time to do all the things you want to do. For example if you in school, then you might have an after school activity to attend, homework when you get home from that and then still try to make time for a boy. There are only so much you can do a day. I think a majority of teenagers' experience this too. I had a lot of fun reading this book. It's one of those books where you start reading it and you don't want to stop until the end. I think it makes a great point and if you're into love stories then it would be an awesome book for you.

one of the best books I've ever read

I couldn't put it down. This is one of my favorite series. This was a really romantic book. Amy reminds me of myself to some extent. My favorite scene is when they're on the roof looking at the eclipse. If you need advice on love, read this book. I learned that relationships can be difficult, and that they don't always last.

Amy falls in love with a boy named Chris.

A girl named Amy Wise stars to like a boy named Chris. But now, he is all she thinks about. Her grades start to fall, and she is swimming badly, and she wants to get a swimming scholarship. She and Chris do some risky things together, and now Amy thinks she has to break up with him, to keep her grades up and to swim better. This book was one of the best I read. Chris really cared about her, and that was all that mattered. This is now my new favorite series, because it is so entertaining, and romantic. Read this book to see what happens with Amy and Chris.

This is a great book.

This is a exciting book about a girl who has every thing going for her except love. I really didn't like Amy's mom who teaches Amy to think that men and romance in her life at this point will just interfere. On the other hand when Amy does fall in love she realy over does it. A very nice and entertaining book
