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

READ IN DUTCH

Leuke Titel!

Dit boek is onderdeel van de Tina Topper serie, die vroeger elke zes weken uitkwamen, en dan ook maar even verkrijgbaar waren. Sommige van die boeken waren al uitgekomen voordat ik geboren was, dus heb ik de meeste verzameld via internet.

This book is book 7 in the series and honestly it's my favorite I've read so far. It tackles with a topic I've dealt and am dealing with and I think they portrayed it realistically. Things may have been a little exaggerated for the plot bit overall I thought they portrayed it well. 

This book really gave Nesta for personality and really took her from being quite 2D to slightly closer to 3D. We watch as she realizes she's not just a pretty face and it really highlights self love and relationships.

Some of the storylines we're a bit odd and confusing at times but overall really good. I've read 3 of the books in the series (5,6,7) and I've read about Izzie, Lucy and Nesta in these books but I haven't read about TJ and I'm intrigued she seems to have her life together alot more. I want to see her flaws and get to know more about her. Overall this book is incredibly happy and I would come back to read again.

Not my favourite of the series but we do meet Luke in this book, who becomes an important character in the series, so it's good. Very entertaining.
