A must-have for any teen!

This book is an awesome must-have for any teenager! The story, as well as being touching, has a funny side to it. It deals with the problems most teenagers or young adults have with their parents. The names of the chapters are cool as well. Rosie Rushton's books are wonderful and amazing!

REALLY GOOD!

this book is sooo good! its about 4 girls and a guy and all of their problems. i could totally relate w/their situations. it even made me feel better about my problems!! u should definately get your hands on this book!

This book is hilarious!

I love it the characters act their age. They're not 8th graders acting like sophmores. The problems are strung together- their parents. I like it that the author rotates the story around 5 different characters. Plus, i like the way she incorporates the English words to the story and added the glossary in the back. Most of all, I love the way Rushton had the character's handwriting on the notes in the book. That was a cool touch.

You must read this book! Repeat, MUST.

Talented author Rosie Rushton introduces us to five teenagers trying to cope with life in the 90's and frustrating parents. Laura, Chelsea, Jemma, Sumitha and Jon are all totally fed up with their parents. Laura hates her mum's new toyboy boyfriend; Chelsea's embarrassed by her mum, local agony aunt, trying to be cool and fashionable; Sumitha wishes her parents would let her do what she wants; Jemma wants her mum to let her wear cool clothes and make-up; Jon longs to go to art college after school but his dad's hopes that he will go to Cambridge stand in his way. This book is brilliant and is followed up by "How Could You Do This To Me, Mum?", "I Think I'll Just Curl Up And Die" and "Does Anyone Round Here Ever Listen?" They are all absolutely brilliant and I think you should definitely read them!
