Publishers Weekly And for followers of the Mates, Dates series by Cathy Hopkins, readers can follow her Mates, Dates Guide to Life, Love, and Looking Luscious. “Beauty, Health and Fashion”-offering tips on facial masks, hair care and “the essential wardrobe”-is but one of the five sections covered; others give advice on boys, “survival tips” on dealing with siblings and parents, and suggestions on how to relax. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information. KLIATT The author of the popular Mates, Dates series of novels has compiled a guide that features the characters from her books giving advice. It’s mainly Izzie, Lucy, Nesta and TJ pontificating in a breezy fashion, but they do call in the experts, including some parents, a teacher and even an older brother. Teenagers will love these energetic, playful characters giving great tips on everything. Of course, there are a lot of British terms used in this book (e.g., snogging), but fans will be able to determine the meanings from the context. This covers, in great detail, boys, beauty, health, and fashion. There is a particularly useful chapter on surviving school, especially what to do about bullies, how to deal with the “‘rents,” what to do when you are stuck in sketchy neighborhoods after dark and how to manage the “dosh” (money). There is also an exhilarating chapter on how to have fun, and host non-alcoholic parties, sleepovers and do-it-yourself spa nights. It’s a fact-filled book certainly worth the price and sure to appeal to both fans and non-fans, who may become fans after they read the characters’ spirited discussions.
