Written by the co-author of chicken soup teen series (the #1 New York Times bestsellers), also the president of Inspiration and Motivation for Teens, it's another practical "how-to-handle" book that really helps. |

I hoped this would be a good book because I love the Chicken Soup books for teens, and it is. I couldn't beleive that every single question I could think of was answered AND the answers were good. I loved the section on friends because I am in love with my best friend and I haven't been able to tell him. Now I think I am going to. The reason is because I now know that even if he doesn't feel the same way about me it doesn't mean that I was wrong to tell him. This book really gives you courage to be honest about your feelings and I think teens really need this. The last relationship I was in ended because my boyfriend hated the way everyone talked about us like we were a television show or something. I think all teens should read this book, girls and guys because it has good ideas about how to handle every situation. The poetry and the stories are great,too, which is like an extra bonus.
(From quoting an American reader)
Target readers:
Teens, young adults.

From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-In a proven, appealing format, the author presents letters based on actual teen queries and provides wise, supportive answers. Throw in some poetry, teen stories, and funny comics and the end result is a title that will probably get passed from friend to friend. There's something here for everyone, though nothing is terribly new. However, many of the problems are timeless and universal and don't require original solutions. More important are the tone and veracity of the advice and information that are given. From concerns about self-esteem to finding that special friend to unrequited love or breaking up, Kirberger, author of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul (Health Communications, 1997), takes on these important topics with levity and respect. Teens who read "Dear Abby" or the advice columns in their favorite magazines will particularly enjoy this book.

Nobody ever takes teenagers seriously, especially when it comes to love. Thanks to the author for not only taking "teen love" seriously but giving us good advice also. I loved the stories! There was one that I felt like I could have written it myself and that is the other thing I like about this book. Almost everything in it is something that I have gone through or at least could understand. They have guy's questions and feelings in there too which I really enjoyed. I always wondered what guys were thinking and if they cared.

I loved this book. I can't say enough good things about it. I couldn't beleive how every single thing in it was exactly what I wanted to know or read about. The poetry is incredible too. I loved the stories and the questions and answers. It was just an awesome book. What can I say. Everybody should read this.

I read the entire book in one sitting. This book answered every question I had about love and relationships and also had wonderful poetry and wonderful stories and incredible quotes. I couldn't beleive how much I enjoyed reading it. This is a book that every teenager should have, and I don't mean just girls. Guys would get so much from reading this. There are lots of questions from guys and lots of great answers. I am buying a copy for my boyfriend for Christmas and I am hoping that I get a copy of the Teen Love Journal.

This book was surprisingly a good read. It was better than most of the others said. However, I'd say you're better off buying the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul volume 1-3 before you even look at this.
The reason being is that this book is made for the younger teenagers. The book isn't bad as some of the advice given is actually pretty good, but for a teenager who is 15+ it isn't going to do much for you except perhaps raise your spirits. The book is clearly for 13-14 year olds because it waste lots of time on stories like first kisses and first relationships. Sure, any highschool student could use the book if they haven't yet been in a relationship. Plus the book constantly repeats itself. This isn't bad since the author does a great job at getting the message across.
The reason I gave this book four stars was because there weren't enough stories! Many of the "stories" were question that seemed to repeat themselves and were constatnly asked by younger teens. There were a few stories every now and then but mostly questions that got annoying. Many questions you knew where the same they were just asked differently.
Overall, this is a pretty good book to get for your growing little boys and girls of age 12-14. But if your 15-18 this book might not please you and any older than 18 means you best stay away.
