It's been v. v. comforting to revisit this classic of my (pre)teen years. It probably seems dated to any younger readers now, but at the time this was the height of teenage comedy and not a bad source of information either. I'm pleased to report that this hasn't aged too badly at all, and it's been nice to recognise some phrases and images that have lingered in my mind all these years.

Capolavoro, non mi interessa l'obiettività.

Letty Chubb idolo <3

UNO SPORTELLO D'INFORMAZIONI

"Come sopravvivere agli anni migliori della nostra vita" e "Come sopravvivere alla prima cotta" sono meglio di uno sportello di informazioni: dalla A alla Z, offrono delucidazioni su tutto quello che c'è da sapere per affrontare il tanto temuto passaggio all'età adulta.
Il tutto affiancato dalla spassosissima storia Letty Chubb, che s'improvvisa counselor nonostante sia la prima ad aver bisogno di una guida nella giungla della sua adolescenza.

Ah quanta saggezza in un solo libro. Saranno passati quasi 15 anni dalla prima volta che l'ho letto e lo ricordo ancora. Un carinissimo vademecum per adolescenti.

Very funny and easy to binge read. It made me feel very heard 😂

One of my favorites as a teenager! ☺️
Haven't read it in years, though... Maybe i'll revisit it soon! 😛

I don't know how to rate this book: pre-teen me rates it 4 stars - at the time, I remember really liking it and laughing with it, but now, it's just okay. Given that this is a book directioned for a very young audience, I should rate it according to what I thought about it when I first read it. So, I give it three shaking and trembling stars, as I did for the remaining books of this collection I read.

I haven't finished this book yet, but so far it is quite good. I was expecting it to be more funny, but I haven't really found it that funny. It touches on things that people my age would worry about, but it doesn't really give advice, just sort of rambles about it.
I gave up near the end. It got repetitive.

Gostei quando tinha idade para gostar. Agora já não. Mas terá sempre um espaço importante no meu passado.

As a Chinese-Portuguese teen, I couldn't related to this originally English story. However, it was still interesting to see how the main character lived.
