Customer Reviews

This series is da bomb

From the moment i read this book, i fell in love with it. The characters are people i can actually relate to, and they're not stuck-up snobs. The plots are easy, but something that you can also relate to besides the characters. The whole book has a feeling of reality about it. If you love this first istallment of Mate Dates...then you'll love the rest.

Awesome Read!

I loved this book! It was very funny and good to read when you just want to escape from the real world. This book is about a young girl who is in love with her friends older brother and even though her friend says that he has hurt alot of girls and broken alot of hearts she still doesnt stop hopeing that they will end up together. I loved this book even though it was kinda sort and i read it in about 2 hours! Overall a good read for teens.

Light, fun, and easy to read

"Mates, Dates, and Inflatible Bras" is the first book in the series that follows three friends Izzie, Nesta, and Lucy. This book mainly focuses on Lucy. She's pretty insecure, especially since her best friend in the entire world (Izzie) seems to have a new best friend (Nesta), she has no idea what she wants to do in her future, and she's really short (4 foot eight, I think) and everyone calls her a midget. One day, when Lucy's eccentric health-food store owner dad is driving her to Izzie's house, Lucy spots HIM. Lucy is stricken by this "mystery guy" and soon her and Izzie are on lookout for him, they even hang out by his school.Lucy finds out who the "mystery guy" is - and she can't believe it! She's totally shocked...and embarassed too.At the end of the book, Lucy discovers what she wants to do in her future (though it's pretty obvious), talks to the mystery guy, and also comes to terms with Izzie's new friendship with Nesta.Mates, Dates, and Inflatible Bras is a really good book, and very easy to read. I finished it really quickly, but I plan on getting the next two books in the series. If you liked Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging, you'll love these books too! I highly reccommend this book!Overall Grade - A+

Hilarious!

Lucy is 14, yet looks like a 12-year-old. Boy that is. She's flat chested, short, and she just doesn't have the looks that she wants. Her two best friends, Nesta and Izzie, are the complete opposite of her. They are both 14, yet looks 16. Lucy decides, after falling in love with a guy at first sight, that she's going to change. She needs a makeover. Only she didn't realize how badly the makeover would turn out. Has she destroyed her looks even more than she thought they originally were?This is a hilarious books, with 3 characters that readers will be able to relate to instantly. Fans of Jacqueline Wilson's "Girls Trilogy" will relish in the likeness between the 2 series, and the similarities between the 3 characters. The supermodel-type, Alanis Morisette-type, and the left-out-type. This is a must read for everyone. Especially girls who LOVED "Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging", and the "Girls trilogy." I give this series 2 thumbs up.Erika Sorocco
