HOPKINS Cathy (2006), Mates, Dates & Sizzling Summer, Piccadilly Press

By Oliva Barrio, 2º ESO A

This book is about a girl called TJ. Last year she had a relationship with a boy called Luke but he cheated on her, so they stopped seeing each other. This year TJ meet Ollie, a handsome and hot boy, but she still feels something for Luke. Throughout the book she finds a lot of sub-personalities inside her, and so does Ollie. But her dad had a stroke, he was in a real bad condition and she felt so sad. But at the end, her dad gets much better and he goes back home. She also has to choose between Ollie and Luke and she chooses...

My favourite part was at the beginning, when TJ’s friends made her wear a supper mega modern top, really tight, with a mini skirt. It’s one of the funniest parts, because it mentions that everyone in the street was looking at her and she felt so embarrassed, apart from not being herself (she had never dressed like that before).

I would recommend this book to an age group between 13 and 14 year olds. I give it 3 stars.
