A good read. I think I will read more from this series. 

I read these books because my cousin had borrowed them from the library and I had nothing better to do. Not bad YA chick lit. Anyways, Mimosas are still one of the like two drinks I know how to make, thanks to this book!

I really enjoyed these books when I was younger. I’ve definitely matured, and not sure I’d enjoy them too much now. But great for younger readers, say about 11-14? Silly and fun but you get to love the main characters

It didn't actually take me this long to read this book. It was in my bedroom (bedtime reading) and I wasn't - lots of furniture rearranging meant I was sleeping in the living room.

READ IN DUTCH

Maakte deel uit van de Tina Toppers. Die spaarde ik vroeger en heb er via internet en rommelmarkten uiteindelijk zo'n 70 verzameld. Ze lezen steevast makkelijk weg, het zijn leuke dunne boekjes om op een middagje uit te lezen. Ik denk dat ze het meest geschikt zijn voor de leeftijdscategorie 10 tot 13 jaar.

Dit specifieke boek Bijna Vijftien is deel van een serie van Cathy Hopkins rond vier vriendinnen, die elk boek wel iets beleven. Het was mijn favoriete serie binnen de Tina Toppers, waarschijnlijk speelde het mee dat een van de hoofdpersonages ook Marjolein heette...

This book is another book in the mates,dates series and my least favorite. Although Izzy is my favorite of the girls I didn't enjoy the book as much as the others due to the fact I relate to Nesta so much and Lucy's story was enticing means that mad mistakes left me wanting more. 

It's got elements that are realistic but it really follows the basic plot of alot of coming of age movies. Though Cathy Hopkins does it in the most wonderful way. I liked the little whatever you wanna call them at the end of the chapters and I'd like to see more about the band I overall just didn't enjoy this book as much as the other two I've read. It's still a good book though 

I loved this book. I was really surprised at all the things that Izzie was getting into. This was unlike the characters we first fell in love with. But it s does make sense. Izzie wanted to seem more grown up and she thought by trying new things she could do this. I feel that this is a coming of age story that all teens should read! its a great lesson to be learned.
