The paperback is timed to release a month before the latest installment in the series, l8r, g8r. Together, the three books about the winsome threesome are a funny, touching chronicle of the rocky road of real friendshipbumpy, nutty, and marshmallow-sweet. Just as satisfying as the first book. Booklist Totally amazing. Girlslife.com Will ensure reader investment and generate discussion, both online and off. The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books Average Rating:
 Rating:  - TTFN BOOK REVIEWThe Winsome Threesome is at it again in this funny yet seroius book about love, friendship, and high school. Like the first one, TTFN is written entirely in IM's. It is a very refreshing read from ordinary novels. In TTFN, Angela moves 3,000 miles away, good-girl Zoe gets down and dirty with Angela's ex (while trying to keep it a secret from her) and Maddie gets involved with the wrong crowd, dates "bad boys", and starts smoking pot. Based on this first paragraph, you may think this is an inappropriate ...

The language is foul, the situations adult. And I mean _every_ page. Page 174: "u made her glue marshmallows to her nipples?" Page 110: "actually I was wearing my Vandy sweatshirt and I wasn't wearing a bra underneath." And on, and on, and on. This book has no redeeming value what so ever. Rating: - Not redeemingJust because some kids do drugs, swear, and have sex does not mean we need to glorify those for all kids. Didn't find anything redeeming enough in the book to pass it on to any teens. It went in the recycling. Hopefully it will do more good made into something else. I don't like giving a bad review - but felt inclined to in this case. Rating: - TrashI bought this book for my daughter only after asking the salesgirl in the store if it was appropriate for a 12 year old, I was assured it was. Last night my daughter came up to me and asked what a bl*wjob was. Apparently this is discussed in the book. Needless to say she will NOT be reading anymore books by this author or in this series Rating: - Trash for young mindsThey author have figured out that sex sells, especially to young teen girls. She concocts this IM narrative to capitalize on the trendiness of this mode of communication. The first book was dedicated to "the beer boys". uh, her intended audience is 12-16 year old girls. Hmm, I wonder if this is dedicated to "Rufus, her favorite drug dealer." or "The Ecstacy girls". I know these are real issues not to be avoided but to be brought out into the open. But glamorizing drug use, teen sex etc, is just irresponsible ... Read More
