I enjoyed the middle grade novel so much I had to pick this one up. Unfortunately, it didn’t hold my love. To be honest with myself, it might have been that their transition to high school was utterly and completely about romantic relationships. Freshman? All four of them? Seems very unrealistic to me. But the point of it was to contrast different kinds of relationships. Each girl changes herself or makes compromises for their crushes, to varying degrees—Taylor’s relationship was SO triggering to me—but the lesson in the end is to not compromise, to prioritize yourself and your friends, and to watch out for people trying to make you smaller than you are. Obviously this is a lesson I can get behind, but just didn’t love the vehicle. I was thinking about gifting this to my niece, but I’m glad I read it first. I don’t think a 8th grader should be thinking this much about relationships heading into high school.

Rating: 4/5

I wanted to read this as an arc to see if it would be good for my classroom. I am very excited to purchase this! It was a sweet story and it brought me back to those maddening days in high school when you couldn't figure out what your crush wanted. The highs and low of high school love and how much it can hurt when it doesn't go your way.

Once again, I love all the Taylor Swift references, the girls backing each other up, but also how sometimes when we have crushes we stop focusing on the people who have always been there for us.

The Taylors are now starting high school, each with their own audiobook narrator.

Why do girls have to become smaller to make others feel comfortable?
Boys or girls drama, starting to move apart with their separate interests
Need to learn to not change your life because of boys or girls
Underestimated the fury of a Taylor swift fan scorned
Good ending, maybe a little abrupt
This would be okay for MG
Can’t wait for next book!

A cute tween story.

I liked the attention to detail of the Taylor references, like the name of each chapter was the right track number on the albums. The chapters also followed along with the story of the songs they were named after. This meant the beginning of the story felt a bit disjointed but it came together in the end.

The similar names were confusing and took me a while to remember who was who.

I think I would've enjoyed it more if the book was set in a world inspired by Taylor rather than Taylor Swift being a real person in this universe.

[Miz P. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kind of cheesy and predictable but still cute. Ideal for 12-14 year olds that love Taylor Swift.

[Brandi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute tween book, directed to a very specific demographic: Young, Taylor Swift lovers.

There are 4 girls named Taylor, each with nicknames. It was a little much as an adult reading the book but I think it's great for a young girl with a Taylor Swift obsession.

I loved the shout out to Bon Iver, local musician to me!

They girls have a fun little group chat at the end of each chapter.

Definitely a good middle grade book for lovers of Taylor!

Thank you to NetGalley and Scholastic for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

To paraphrase my review for The Taylors, I read this because I was so tickled by the thought of concurrent releases about the same set of characters for different age groups. By two authors I've previously read and enjoyed, no less. But somehow, I liked the younger version better??

Very recently, I was complaining about people who will see a YA book (set in high school) appropriate for 12-year-old readers and immediately declare it middle grade, but uhhhh...despite the girls now being high school freshmen and there being some scenes where one is around older teens drinking, it is really hard to see this as even the young end of YA.

It is definitely for an older audience than The Taylors, but only because that one is aimed at elementary school, appropriate even for 2nd and 3rd grade, and this one's target audience is squarely middle school. It's been a while since I've read Elizabeth Eulberg's books, and they're never overly edgy or mature, but as far I can remember they still felt more YA than this.

Or: oh my god I was so bored by the never-ending hormone rush, every single girl's story centering around whether a certain person liked them back (or in Taylor's case, why everyone was so jealous of her having a hot senior boyfriend that they would keep lying he's a player who hooks up with freshmen constantly and dumps them as soon as he's bored). Not one of these love interests is even mildly interesting.

Rambling complaints aside, there ARE still plenty of elements I liked! I like that it's told from all four points of view this time, and seeing all the girls as they've grown up a bit more -- very recognizable while also being recognizably older by a few years. Teffy remains my absolute favorite, but I still like all the girls (except when TS is being tedious as hell about her teammate). I love seeing their parents, especially Tay's dad. I LOVED the group text chain used as chapter breaks (entitled "Our Chat [The Taylors Version]"), and continue to enjoy every song reference tucked into the prose, aka the Easter egg hunt. So I will probably continue the series at some point when I need a quick palate cleanser.

Additional notes:
-Wait one more complaint, I really didn't like the choice to use present tense.

-Goodreads appears confused about whether The Taylors is its own series, or a prequel part of this one, and it will probably take a little while to properly combine editions and fix the series links, but both that book and this one have a number "1" on their spine so they are in fact, separate series -- though could also be noted as both part of a larger one, once the younger version is complete.

-Once again, props to the cover illustrator for perfectly depicting a scene from the book, Taylor-Swift-album-inspired outfits matched to a T. Blonde Teffy in her Folklore/Evermore-inspired wardrobe continues to win!

-I love Eulberg's author bio for this book, which is one sentence about her bibliography, followed by "but let's be real, you want to know her Swiftie credentials," and proceeds to fill the remaining 75% of the space with exactly that.

-My new favorite insult, courtesy of Taylor Perez: "Are you seriously walking down Clownelia Street right now?"

The four girls that were named Taylor after Taylor Swift are now in high school and have a slew of new adventures ahead of them.

I enjoyed seeing the same four girls from The Taylors as they're a bit older with more life experience ahead of them. I could truly see the resemblance in how their personalities remained and the same but also changed a bit and that was fun to follow from book to book.

At times I found the individual girls frustrating because they weren't listening to sound reasoning from their friends and they were so boy focused but I understood where they were coming from. It's easy to get caught up in boy drama at that age.

I liked how the four girls' points of views were interwoven into the story and I thought that was done well.

Overall it was a pretty cute book that I think middle schoolers and even early high school would love.

Thank you to Scholastic and NetGalley for the ARC to review.

[Luna · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is not well written. The beginning is extremely messy and although it flows a little better towards the end, the similar names and confusing storylines had me struggling to continue with it.

I think this would have been cuter if it hadn't hinged entirely on Taylor Swift being a real figure in the books. The girls are all Taylor Swift fans (and are named after the singer, to boot), but I kept wishing that this was set in a world where Taylor Swift wasn't a real musician. The storyline could still be based around different Swift songs and their names could be related, but not hinged on her existence.

Also, the girls giving themselves their own nicknames? Ech. I didn't mind Teffy, as that was quite different to the rest. Also Taylor was fine. But I wish the other nicknames were different. Maybe Blondie or Tally.

I'm all for writing things that will get kids to read, but kids deserve better than this.

[Cassandra Grosh · Rating 3 out of 5]

As four friends enter high school, they grapple with managing extracurriculars, homework, dating, and friendships. Each girl finds that they have to trust themselves and their squad to succeed, but sometimes that’s easier said than done.

Each of the four Taylors experiences something uniquely ~so high school~ from a gaslighting guy, to liking their best friend, to questioning if their childhood dream is actually what they want as a young adult. All the girls are extremely relatable for vastly different reasons, making the characters likable and relatable.

However, this book read far more middle grade than YA. And, while the character differences between the girls might ensure a vast array of readers will find the book relatable, the the constant reminder that none of the girls are at all alike, and that they have almost no common interests, was off-putting. The characters felt a little one-dimensional at times, existing just to juxtapose one another.

This was an incredible book, and I loved it so much! After having just recently read "The Taylors", the book where Teffy, Tay, TS, and Taylor were all 5th graders, I thought this was a great transition to when they all started high school. The story was so fun to read, and I loved how each character matured and grew throughout the book! Overall, great read!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and Scholastic Inc. for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is a new tween series about four best friends, all named Taylor. They have been the best of friends since middle school. The story begins with them all entering high school. We get to see the girls navigate typical high school drama from crushes to friendships.

I thought the group chats at the end of each chapter were fun.

I did get a little confused at the beginning, trying to differentiate between the Taylors and each of their nicknames.

I think this is a cute book for younger Taylor Swift fans. I am interested to see the journey the Taylors will take in the next book.

Younger readers will want to learn the backstory of the Taylors by reading about when they met in fifthe grade in The Taylors, but older readers can go ahead and start with this tale of their entry into high school. We see more of their individual personalities, and see what romances come their way. Blonde Teffy is shy and quiet, and would rather stay at home with her books and music, pining over family friend Liam, than perform songs she has written with Tay. Red haired TS is determined to make the high school varsity soccer team, and when she does, is thrown for a loop by a British important to the team, Gemma, on whom she has an overwhelming crush. Tay (who drops the second Tay because it seems babyish) is the only one who is still a cheerleader, because she has a background in gymnastics. Taylor Perez is bound and determined to run for student body president, but that's before she becomes enamored of Hunter, who is gorgeous and a senior. The girls are invited to a high school party, but make the wise choice not to drink alcohol, and run into their old nemesis Hannah and her henchwoman Greta. Teffy keeps hanging out with Liam, whose parents funded her own parents business, Harrison by Design, which is struggling to get enough orders to stay afloat. She doesn't understand why he is dating Cat, even though she waffles on whether or not she is romantically interested in Liam. Taylor spends so much time with Hunter that her grades falter, and she also decides not to run for elected office. Teffy is so distracted by Gemma that her game suffers, and she tries to distance herself from her crush, which doesn't help the team. Tay meet emo rocker Reece when they have to work on a science project together, and their romance runs a somewhat rocky course as Tay has to realize how wealthy Reece's family is, and he feels inferior when he realizes how good her singing is. It's great that all four have romances and are still able to stay together as a friend group and help each other through the difficult moments.
Strengths: This is EXACTLY the type of older middle grade books that I've been looking for. Certainly, in middle school in the 1970s, I was reading a lot of titles about girls in high school, like Conford's 1976 The Alfred G. Graebner Memorial High School Handbook of Rules and Regulations: A Novel, and sometimes even college (and even now desperately want to buy Colver's 1942 Joan Foster series for myself from Image Cascade!). Eulberg does a great job of fleshing out each character so they each have distinctiev interests and personalities. The wide range of love interests was impressive; Taylor's older, probably deeply creepy guy who is probably pressuring her for more physical interaction behind the scenes, Tay's "opposites attract" bad boy who's really quite sweet, Teffy's friendship with Liam that she would like to be something more, and TS's all consuming crush on Gemma. The relationships all work out in various ways that will make the readers happy. I enjoyed the fact that most of the parents were around and supportive; only Tay's mother is absent, although her father is very involved. The fact that all of the girls like Taylor Swift's music comes up quite a bit, and I think the chapter headings are all names of her songs. This will be HUGELY popular even without the inclusion of Swift fandom, especially since Eulberg has other good Young Adult titles that work for middle school readers, like Take a Chance on Me and Past Perfect Life as well as her middle grade The Best Worst Summer.

Weaknesses: The Timeline with the origin story of the Taylors doesn't quite work, but Young readers won't notice. I thought I was going to have a hard time telling the characters apart, but I didn't, although looking at the cover of the second book, I had to really think through who was who! (I was thrown off by Taylor's shorts.)
What I really think: This is a fantastic choice for middle school readers who want to learn more about their future in high school, or for high school readers who (like me) can't stomach the horrific drama and trauma, as well as salty language, that seems to make up most of the Young Adult titles these days. I'm not sure what we're allowed to call books like this these days ("clean reads" is definitely out), but this is a gentler read along the lines of Kristy Boyce's Hot British Boyfriend, Jouhanneau's Kisses and Croissants, or the work of Kasie West. Definitely purchasing, and looking forward to Cruel Summer (1/6/26).

Love Stories: the Taylors Version is an upcoming October 2025 companion series to The Taylors by Jen Calonita. This book follows four friends, all named Taylor, who are huge Taylor Swift fans (“Swifties”). The story follows the girls four years into the future, as they are starting their freshman year of high school. Each girl is dealing with a different story arc during their first semester: Teffy is struggling with her shyness while also dealing with a crush on her next-door neighbor, Liam; Taylor experiences first love with a much older boy; Tay tries to make a relationship happen with her tortured poet science partner; and TS wants to focus on soccer instead of catching feelings for a new British teammate. Each chapter is a different POV from each of the girls, and you learn much more about their dreams and personal lives than in the previous book. Throughout all of the highs and lows of high school and first love, the girls maintain their friendship with one another, and (of course), their love for Taylor Swift. The Taylors are white, Black, and Latine-coded, and some side characters also code as multi-cultural. 

I liked the overall story, and how the Taylors had grown and changed since the first book. I appreciated how the book did not shy away from showing different relationships, including the signs of toxic ones. The author did a great job of including a queer relationship, which adds some good LGBTQ+ representation to the story. I thought that the story had a perfect amount of drama and high-stakes situations paired with funny and sweet moments. The writing was very engaging, and I can see it attracting a lot of readers, even those who aren’t necessarily Swifties. Link to complete review: https://ysbookreviews.wordpress.com/2...

Thank you netgalley for this ebook!

We join the Taylors as they enter their first year of high school (The same girls we met in middle school in The Taylors by Jen Calonita, if you read that first. If not, I recommend doing so for backstory purposes). As we follow them, the girls experience a variety of first loves (two of which I can pinpoint from TS songs (You Belong with Me and Fifteen) and two I'm less sure on, maybe I'm a bad Swiftie. We follow the girls through love and heartbreak, how not to lose yourself and who you are when you're in love, and how important friends are to get you through struggles.

This book utilizes four POVs, and thankfully the narration refers to the girls by their nicknames (they're all Taylors, hence the title). The multiple POVs were a little bit of a struggle for me, they always are, but each girl is pretty unique, so it wasn't too hard to follow their stories.

I enjoyed following each girl's romantic misadventures, even though some left me screaming at my book because why? Girl you could do better. But in spite of that frustration, it was a fun read, even if there were fewer references than it's companion novel. And I love that once again the chapter titles were song titles. A fun read for any Swiftie(even an adult like me), and a great one for freshmen, some important romance lessons there.

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story (series) revolves around 4 girls all named Taylor, after the singer, Taylor Swift, entering their first year of high school. Having said that, this novel is appropriate for a middle school or younger child. The four Taylor's are fast friends since discovering one another 4 years ago. They've adopted nicknames to make things easier: TJ, the soccer star, Tay Tay (who quickly becomes Tay) is the cheerleader, Teffie, the quiet poet/songwriter, and Taylor, the most outspoken and future politician. The girls are very invested in the actual Taylor Swift, with each chapter named after one of her songs, and the girls frequently reference the music and attitude of their idol. This first title involves the introduction of their first romances, which involve swoon, pining, and yes, heartbreak. Eulberg does a great job of capturing the enthusiasm of the age group, and remind us how fragile young girl's hearts can be. We see how these first romances can make ourselves question our goals and choices, and the girls' struggle with how to make time for school, romance, and of course, the other Taylors. She also addresses how girls can make themselves smaller in an attempt to make a relationship be something it just isn't, and also how a romantic misstep need not be fatal. Cheers to the author for including a queer romance, quickly accepted and cheered on by the other supportive Taylor's. Young teens and tweens, particularly Ms. Swift's fans, will enjoy the Taylors. I was given a free digital copy in return for an honest review.

[Meghan]

If you read the sister book that gives the origin story for the four Taylors, this series will initially be a little confusing, as the first book takes place towards the end of the Eras tour, while the girls are in 5th grade. The first book in the series, however, picks up with the girls starting their freshman year in high school (meaning, we are now in the future? But Taylor hasn’t released any new music?). Once you move past that, the book’s plot, like its sister book, is somewhat obvious (both authors admit in their comments that they were given very quick deadlines). From the first book, it was pretty clear that Teffy would develop a crush on Liam, the boy next door whose bedroom window lines up with hers, allowing them to communicate via whiteboard messages at night. The cliff-hanger ending, however, will leave you eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. This book is more adult than the previous one, as there is an older boy engaging in make-out sessions and drinking alcohol, however, it is all pretty mild (the boy doesn’t seem to push the girls too far beyond what they are comfortable or ready for). The cliff-hanger ending, however, will leave you eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and Scholastic for the opportunity to read this in advance of its release!

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about a romance-centered follow-up to The Taylors, but it ended up being just as heartfelt, sweet, and fun as the original, with the added bonus of crushes and first love.

Each Taylor has her own little story in this one, and it was such a great way to see how their friendships are evolving as they grow up. Some of the stories are just cute and smiley, and others had me tearing up a little, especially the ones where the girls were learning to speak up for themselves, or navigate something that felt huge for the first time.

The Swiftie references are still baked into everything, from chapter titles to inside jokes, but it never feels forced. If you’ve been a fan of Taylor Swift for any amount of time, this book just feels like a warm hug to that part of your soul.

There’s something really wholesome about seeing a friend group grow together and support each other through crushes, awkward moments, and all the "is-this-a-date-or-not?" tension that comes with middle school love stories.

I loved watching this group step into their own stories.
Definitely a great follow-up, and one I’ll be handing off to my daughter as soon as she’s ready. 💘

(4.5 stars, rounded up)

Continuing the story of the four Taylors from Jen Calonita's The Taylors, we meet the girls four years later, on their first day of high school. The two authors wrote these characters seamlessly, as their personalities remain the same, older and somewhat more mature. Their friendship and love of Taylor Swift are still key components of the book. Now we also see their navigating romantic relationships as appropriate for a slightly older reader. There are some giant red flags in each of their relationships that Eulberg does an excellent job pointing out without feeling preachy or didactic. This is a super important book for teens to read, showing how easy it is to lose one's sense of self in a relationship. Fortunately they are all resolved well. Highly recommended for grades 7 and up. Works as a stand alone, but the first book lends more dimension to The Taylors.

I really enjoyed this story, but I really like YA stories set in high school. Four friends named Taylor, after Taylor Swift, are entering their freshman year of high school. Tay hopes to join the cheer squad, TS wants to become a soccer star, Taylor dreams of becoming class president, and Teffy wants to continue writing her song lyrics. They've been fast friends since fifth grade, but high school will test those boundaries as they get involved in different activities, and, of course, meet some new boys.

The girls go through some of the understandable difficulties associated with young love, and the Taylor Swift lyrics and references are nice throughout. It was a cute, breezy, early HS romance story, with an emphasis on the power of friendship. The girls are likable, you're rooting for them to succeed, and I think overall it's super fun. I think younger girls who love Taylor Swift will REALLY enjoy this story.

[Debby Tiner · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's been a while since I read an Elizabeth Eulberg book, and I think my age has made it harder for me to enjoy books about tweens. Even teens stretch my credulity these days, and many of the decisions they make in fiction frustrate me. The male love interests in this book, for example, were all trash in my opinion and none of them should be touted as love stories. In fact, the only non-toxic love story in this book was sapphic!

I listen to Taylor Swift on occasion, but I'm not exactly a Swiftie, so I know I missed a lot of context and Easter eggs that fans will enjoy. I did listen to Taylor Swift while reading it, so that was enjoyable. I wish they had a list or recommendation at the beginning of each chapter for a song to listen along.

Favorite character: Gemma.

If you liked this book, I would recommend watching the show Atypical and, of course, listening to Taylor Swift.

Thank you to Scholastic for the ARC.
This is the story of four very different Taylors who have been friends since fifth grade and are now entering high school We have shy Teffy who is crushing on a boy named Liam, TS, who wants to make the soccer team, Tay is a cheerleader, and Taylor Perez wants to be student body president. High school brings different challenges for each of them: crushes, disappointments, and they are growing up. With all this going on, will the girls remain friends throughout high school?

I will be buying multiple copies of this because it is going to fly off the shelves since it's a quick read, it's written for tweens and teens (not librarians), and of course, most of the girls love Taylor Swift.

This is a surefire winner!

[Codi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a super cute story and kept me interested the entire time. I do think it was helpful that I read “The Taylor’s” before this because I was easily able to keep everyone straight. It may be hard to start with this book because it just jumps into it without really explaining who is who. I am curious to see what the next book is about in the series as this one focused on relationships so heavily!

I do wonder a bit what age this is for, it may be a little juvenile for actual freshman but too advanced for middle school. It’s a weird in between but I’m sure many swifties will like it!

A fun read that tweens will love! Four girls all named Taylor and friends since middle school experiencing first crushes, true friendship, and maybe some disappointment. Teffy loves song writing and just might be asked to sing with a band. Taylor is a counselor at a summer camp and an ex-boyfriend is there too. Things happen and Taylor thinks revenge. Does she do it? Tay is in a band with Reece but something happens to make him mad. What happens with the band? TS goes to London with Gemma, and Gemma’s parents don’t seem to think she’s good enough for Gemma and so she leaves London early thinking it’s over for the two of them. Will she see Gemma again? Loved all the Taylor Swift references.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Just as delightful as the “first” book, Eulberg really did such a great job growing these four characters up while making them still feel true to who they are when we first met them. You can really tell she and Calonita were so in sync while writing these books. I loved getting all four girls’ POVs this time and seeing how they navigate their freshman year of high school with all of its excitements and obstacles. I loved how it showed their friendship going through struggles and coming through the other side stronger together. I am SO EXCITED for the next book and to see what’s in store for the Taylors!

[Alicia · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little more like a 3.5, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the book of a group of girl friends all named Taylor who love Taylor Swift and root for one another. But now that they're in high school, there are new and shifting relationships and school stuff to deal with whether it's a new boyfriend or a sports competition or singing a song.

Each girl has her own nickname since they're all Taylors. It's a coming of age friendship story with a little pop culture tie in. It was a fun read that had depth when it came to one girl's relationship with an older boy only to find out she was being discarded after being groomed. Another was about gaining confidence.

I received an advance copy of this title for an honest and fair review.

This was a really cute story about a group of friends all named Taylor. The writing showcased a little about each girl's life (and love life). I really enjoyed this story because it showcased real things that teenagers go through in high school. I loved how the characters supported each other throughout the story. I also enjoyed the subtle nods to Taylor Swift whom all the girls are named after.

I am very excited to continue the series when they are released.

[LeeAnn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first year of high school is awkward for everyone, and can certainly feel daunting. Luckily for this group of friends, they still have each other.

The premise of this series is a group of friends, all named Taylor, who also all happen to be big TSwift fans. To be honest, it started out a bit cringe. But it settled into a rhythm and definitely works as a good read for that middle school to high school level readers.

"Wow, she really has no idea what's going on with the other Taylors."

Yep, Tay, life is like that sometimes. Friendships take work, but it's worth the effort.

Jen Calonita & Elizabeth Eulberg are absolutely killing it with their sister novels THE TAYLORS and THE TAYLORS VERSION: LOVE STORIES. These books are both about the same four best friends, but the first series focuses on the girls as they go into middle school while THIS series begins as they enter their high school freshman era. Both books are fresh, fun, and incredibly timely. 💍 They both release on October 7th, so you’ll have to wait a bit, but it’ll be worth it! 🎤🎟️🎶
