REVIEW

This was a good follow up to the first book, The Dating Game Novel. I liked how it was a fast and easy read. Light and simple, but still good at that. Natalie was good with letting the reader know what was going on and the plot was funny. I loved how she showed us this new side of Lina, we all knew it was coming, but it's a whole norther thing when your suspicions are confirmed. I'm looking forward to reading the third book, Can True Love Survive High School?

I would definitely recommend this book to readers 13+.

I give this one four thumps up.

Overview
Madison, Holly and Lina have been best friends since Madison moved to their school. Although they are friendly with the popular kids, they haven't exactly been invited to any "cool" parties lately. But all that changes when these girls turn their IDH Project into their personal E-Harmony. With love in their hands, and each quiz entry that comes in, these girls pair themselves up with they guys of their dreams. But is it really meant to be, especially when you cheat love?

Review
This book was pretty good, a fun quick read with a light plot. I liked the multi-person POV, how I was able to get into each girl's head. It's funny how different these girls are, but also how they are soo much alike. The only thing I didn't really like was the amount of dialogue that was in the book. At times, I thought it was just too much, and wasn't well written. The writing was weak at some points too, but it was a good read overall. I would definitely recommend The Dating Game series to all YA Readers. I'll be looking for the second book in the series: Breaking Up Is Really Really Hard To Do.

I GIVE THIS ONE FOUR THUMBS UP
