Oh how I wish I didn't spend an hour of my life reading this crap.

[Martina Luciani · Rating 5 out of 5]

È un libro semplice per adolescenti. Inizialmente l'ho sottovalutato ma alla fine mi è piaciuto molto. Non ho amato troppo il finale libero perché volevo sapere il continuo ma va bene ci sta❤️

Abbandonato a pagina 28. Non so perché continuo a scegliere libri per adolescenti. Forse devo avere qualche serio problema, visto ho già passato il mezzo secolo.

This is a book about two girls, Anna and Beth. They're about to turn sixteen, and want to do something to fit in better. So they make a list, the title of which is 10 Things to Do Before You're 16.

The list consists of:

1. Get gorgeous hair
2. Anna get ears pierced/Beth get a tattoo
3. Get and wear a pair of super high stilettos (WITHOUT FALLING!)
4. Hook up with the two school hotties, Baz and Greg
5. Get a job and earn loads of dosh, or money
6. Get into a club
7. Get perfectly tanned and fuzz-free legs
8. Get cleavage
9. Have fantastic nails
10. Be dead cool and sophisticated

Beth, throughout the whole book, admires Anna's brother, Joey, for being a perfect brother compared to her own. Plus, as you read this book, you can guess that she starts to like him.

This is a perfect example for the many girls out there who are trying to be something they're not. There are lots of girl that are trying so hard to fit in and who change themselves, sometimes for the worse.

Read this book...it is an excellent one!

This book was on the surface level. nothing much to dig deeper about. it was an easy read and probably could have been finish in a day but i was didn't have enough time to read this book. i wouldn't really recommend this book because there is basically no plot. This book was about two girls who thought that by changing their appearances they would be popular like this girl name Frankie. i thought it would be funny to be read since i am not yet 16 and the book title really relates to me. This book tells girls that appearance don't mean everything and just being yourself is all you need. if you have spare time you should read it. this book is mainly directed towards girls.

10 Things to do Before You're 16 talk about two girls Beth and Anna trying to make their looks and their life glamorous before they are 16. So they made a list of ten things to do, but as their birthday gets closer, they found out that they haven't even started doing anything. trying to get gorgeous and notice behind their parents isn't a easy thing. but they don't have a choice, will there be enough time to do everything that they meant to? read this book to find out!

this book is great for people who think they are nobody. this book actually teaches you a lesson that you shouldn't push yourself to be someone that you aren't and more.

Beth and Anna are the protagonist's in this book. They are turning 16 and so they create a list of things to do before they are 16 years old. The book teaches us that we should be something or someone that we aren't. For example, Beth and Anna tried to make themselves go and hang out with guys in the school so they can blend in but Beth relizes that she is falling in love with Anna's brother. The lesson in the book tells the readers that we shouldnt try to change ourselves and that we should stay and be happy for who we are.

This book is about a girl and her best friend having troubles in lives, but then who doesnt have them? So they decide to make a list of 10 things they want to do before they are 16. I liked the list specially the hair part:D

[Brittany Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very funny and easy read book!! And it even has quite a few situations that any teen girl could possibly relate too... In other words it was so awesome that I could read it over and over again. xD

[Zemika White · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was some sort crazy but interesting at the same . Waxing your legs? Glue fake hair into hair with eyelash glue? And so much more but every stunt they tried to pull to become "Popular" was crazy smart but most of all is what made the book interesting.

2.5/5 ⭐

Il libro me l'ha regalato mia zia al compleanno, ma sono ora l'ho letto. La storia è veramente molto carina, leggera e scorrevole. Semplice e forse un po' scontata. Un libro che consiglio per chi inizia a leggere ecco. Non male, mi ha tenuto compagnia.
