I read Mates, Dates, and Sole Survivors as an IR book. This book was about all of them getting out of school, ready for the summer and dealing with boyfriends. Since everybody has a boyfriend except Lucy, she feels left out. Nesta has Simon, T.J. has Steve Lucy's Bro, and Izzie has Ben. So all her mates have a mission. Get Lucy a Boyfriend. Soon they realize they just can't find anybody. But when she goes on a relaxation trip with her dad and izzie and her mom. Izzie is digging it but lucy isn'...more
Baca buku ini karena disodorin temen. Katanya lumayan :D
Trus, ya udah, coba baca.
Baca ini jadi inget film AADC (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta). Tapi cuman global doang, sih. Tentang empat cewek yang sobatan. Trus, mereka berempat ini saling mendukung satu sama lain. Termasuk masalah kisah cinta.
Dibanding ketiga sahabatnya, cuma Lucy-lah yang jomblo. Setelah sebelumnya bermaksud pengen balik lagi ama Tonny, kakak Nesta, cowok yang cakep banget. Cuma ternyata, pas udah mau nembak Tonny, ternyata Lucy baru...more

Nesta, Izzie, and Lucy are the main characters. It is in London. There was in internal conflict with Lucy. This book is basically how Lucy was going to try to make it official with Tony. When that didnt work out she was on a search for the right guy for herself.
Text to self connection. Lucy was pretty much in love with Tony. But something went wrong between them. She still totally liked him and was having a very hard time getting over him. I could connect to this because in 6th grade I really...more

The Mates, Dates books are great in general! I read this one and really liked it! They are very teen novels (particually for the older teen) but they are filled with lots crushes with boys, things with friends and lots more! It tells about 4 friends living in London (even though a few words are British such as the bathroom is loo in England, the only majorly used word that is not used in America that I could find is snog which means kiss). One of the the down sides to these books are that each b...more
I really like Lucy. I've always thought teenage girls had a sort of resemblence to little babies. They're so confused! And cry over the smallest of things- though that isn't really what Lucy does! In these books- I don't feel like the girls are as dumb as in other books. I like that. They aren't totally stupid. Well- that depends on which one of themyou're talking about ;D

I bought this book at a second hand bookshop in California not knowing there were other books before it. Even though there was a story line that was going on prior to me reading this book, it was still absolutely adorable and easy to follow. I ended up finishing this book in less then 12 hours and what I liked most about it was I could relate to some of the things that were being quoted. The chapters were nice sizes and it kept me entertained at all times.
A book that will drive you way far from boredom. the story is told in a perfect way that can make you picture how they look like and what they're feeling at the moment , everything described brilliantly , I seriously recommend it for teens.

Lucy is feeling left out as all her friends have got boyfriends, she meets Daniel. Daniel seems like a nice guy with loads in common with Lucy but soon shows his true colors and Lucy's better off with out him but she doesn't always listen to her friends advice. good read
The main character is Lucy! this book is about Lucy having trouble with love. at first she was planning to be with Tony but suddenly Tony didn't want to anymore. Lucy later met Daniel. she thought he was the perfect person but nothing is as good as it sounds. he is a control freak! they broke it and Tony and Lucy was about to be together again. an important lesson was that your friends are still important even though yu have a boyfriend. overall this book was alright since it kept me reading but...more

AWESWOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll Continue to give each and everyone of these books five out of five stars. series review will be up when i finish the entire series
Oh how I loved this one! I've made Lucy's mistake before. I sympathized with her. If Hopkins is good at anything, she's good at creating characters that are relatable (I love Georgia Nicolson, but she's completely and totally unrelatable - impossible lifestyle!). I've mentioned in other reviews about the life lessons she teaches, in this book they're a bit more in your face than usual. Though I applaud Nesta and Izzie for keeping their mouths shut and letting Lucy realize her mistake on her own;...more
There is no way I could have managed the horrible teenage years without this series! I read it multiple times!!
Easy reading. Need to complete all. I've read 3 of these books or what. But I only have one.

Well this was one of my favorites, too. I am really excited to read all of Cathy Hopkins's books. This book was about Lucy who don't know if she can trust Tony, her boyfriend who was always flirting with someelse the next minute. Finally they broke up and she met a boy and they became boyfriends and girlfriends. Lucy felt that it wasn't the same kind of love she wanted but at least she have her friends! Friends forever! I think that friends are more important than my boyfriend or whatsoever. Bo...more

Good Book
Lucy's bummed out, because she and Tony are back off-again and everyone else has a boyfriend. Lucy goes off on a self-discovery weekend with her dad and meets a lovely boy named Daniel. He's also into fashion and designs his own stuff. Then he turns really possesive and keeps trying to change Lucy. And I thought Mates, Dates, and Sleepover Secrets was heavy on the be-true-to-yourself theme. Also preachy on the don't-let-boys-rule-your-life theme.

Lucy is a really good book, from a popular series. This is the 5th. book and a total success. The main character is Lucy, and her friends Izzie, Gina and Charlie. In this story Izzie and Lucy go to a Hippie relaxation camp, where they meet David. He seems to be nice, but a bit full of himself. The story goes on and Lucy as to find, that David is not her type. This story is a great book for girls and fun to read.
