EASY, ENJOY, & FUNNY!!
i think this book is suitable for teenager who is tired with life's crowded =D...and it's good for new reader or people who wants to read an easy book flow =D..

it contains 8 chapters and it has 15-30 stories for each chapter...i read chapter 1 (EMBARASSED MOMENT...BUT IT WAS FUNNY), it tells so many stories about bittersweet at high school, first date, prom night, and so on...
and now i'm reading 2nd chapter (FRIENDS-EVERLASTING PIZZA)..

in chapter 1, there's a story about 1 man.. before he had a date, the father's girl said that he has to pay 50$ to fill Form to Have a Date with MY-Daughter (it's quite funny =D)..

other stories tell about a girl who is high school stud, she lied to her elder sister's friend to get a boyfriend... the man is 14 year older than her =D... when she was trying to find a solution to avoid her parents (so that she can go with that man in a date), the man is her NEW TEACHER!! =D..
