Mates, Dates, and Cosmic Kisses (Mates, Dates...)

I'm going out of my mind. Perhaps he lost my number?

Perhaps saying he'd phone was a way of getting rid of me? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Izzie is cool, bright, and sassy. And when she meets the gorgeous Mark, she's on a real high. He's divine. And he likes her! But why doesn't he call when he says he will?

Desperate to make sense of things Izzie spends all her free time at home just in case he calls.

When Izzie loses her perspective, best friends Lucy and Nesta try to give her a reality check. But there are some things you'd rather not hear....

The Exciting Series of Mates, Dates,and Cosmic Kisses, 2005-10-31
The Exciting Series of Mates, Dates, and Cosmic Kisses is written by Cathy Hopkins. If you like girly real fiction books, this is the book for you! Have you ever lost your mind over a boy? Well Izzie Foster is just now going through this experience. Izzie Foster is a fourteen year old boy crazy girl who losses her mind over a guy, her friends try to bring her back to reality. But as we all know there are some things a girl just doesn't want to hear. Can her friends bring back the old Izzie or is she gone forever?

This book really taught me a lesson because as people always say boys will stay and go but friends will always be by your side. The girls Izzie, Nesta, and Lucy always were in arguments but they figured how to get through the tough times and stuck together. This taught me that I need to be strong for my friends when they are in need. The problem usually with boys is they never call or forget about you, and this book was so realistic that those "boy" problems kept happening over and over and you wanted a new problem to occur. Everyone wants a friend that will protect them and help them when things are going wrong. Lucy was the kind of girl that knew what was right for her and her friends and was the strong one in the trio and really made sure they were all alright.

A book has to have a saying that makes you think or really touches you, and this book had many. My favorite out of the book was "I'm good, I'm bad, you're nice, you're mad, I love, I hate. But it's never too late to say sorry." That is true because that happens in real life and people need to know what they did was bad, but that they can sorry. This book is really fun and exciting and like I already said teaches you tons of lessons. The only question I have to ask myself after reading this book was do the girls know that friends will stay and always be there and help you out through trouble? I really recommend this book to girls because it is fantastic and I never could take my eyes off the book.

really good series!!, 2005-06-14
This is the second book in the Mates, Dates series and it is about Izzie. She meets a cute boy, Mark, and gives him her number and he says he will call, and she stays home as much as she can and keeps the phone lines open, but he never calls. When she bumps into him at the park, he gives her a reasonable excuse and then they spend the day together and he says he will call again. Then the same thing happens, he doesnt call. Izzie is getting tired of all of this waiting and while giving some advice to Lucy about calling the shots with the boys instead of letting them push you around, she realizes what to do. This book and the rest of the series are really good books so read them!!!

Poorly written..., 2005-03-20
I got this book for my young teenage daughter who enjoyed the Princess Diaries books & was looking for similar "fluffy" teen books. Both she & I found this book impossible to read beyond the first chapter because the quality of the writing was so poor that it was distracting. Boring, too. Instead of this book, my daughter would recommend The Princess Bride (Goldman) and more Meg Cabot books such as All American Girl and the Mediator series (book #1 is Shadowland).

Great series!, 2004-09-16
Though I'm older than the target audience, I really enjoy this series. I think the books are adorable and the author does a bang up job of capturing what teenage life is life. Bravo!
