Cathy Hopkins Books Overview

Mates, Dates and Inflatable Bras

A turning point is exactly what Lucy Loverling does NOT want. Everything is changing around her, and suddenly she has to make all sorts of decisions. Everyone else knows who and what she wants to be except her. Izzie has become friends with the glamorous Nesta, and Lucy isn’t certain she likes a threesome. Nesta and Izzie look sixteen, but Lucy, at fourteen, can still pass for a twelve year old. But then one day Lucy sees the most wonderful boy crossing the street, and things do start to change in all areas of her life…

Mates, Dates and Cosmic Kisses

Thursday night: no call. Friday morning: NO CALL. I’m going out of my mind. Perhaps he lost my number? Perhaps saying he’d phone was a way of getting rid of me? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Izzie is cool, bright, and sassy. And when she meets the gorgeous Mark, she’s on a real high. He’s divine. And he likes her! But why doesn’t he call when he says he will? Desperate to make sense of things Izzie spends all her free time at home just in case he calls. When Izzie loses her perspective, best friends Lucy and Nesta try to give her a reality check. But there are some things you’d rather not hear…
.

Mates, Dates and Portobello Princesses

Nesta has met the perfect boy: good looking, fun, sweet. But there are problems too. Simon’s from a rich, upper class background with a lifestyle to match and it’s difficult for Nesta to keep up. And then there’s Simon’s friend Cressida. The ice queen. The Portobello Princess. Not one to give in, Nesta is determined to impress the new crowd, but finds herself out of her depth. Luckily she has Lucy and Izzie to help her reas*sess what really matters…

Mates, Dates and Sleepover Secrets

How can a new girl fit in?

He talked, I listened. As I tried to appear interested, I thought that even Mojo was more interested in what I had to say. And he’s a dog.

Theresa Joanne T. J. to her friends is having a difficult year. First her best friend moves away. Then there’s the problem with boys: They never seem to notice that she’s a girl. But when Lucy befriends T. J., things start to look up. But will Lucy’s best friends Nesta and Izzie accept her and let her into their world of sleepovers, secrets, laughter, and advice?

Mates, Dates and Sole Survivors

I decided that next time I saw him, I’d have a word about maybe giving each other a bit more space. After all, Mum’s always saying that you have to work on relationships and not give up at the first hiccup…
.

Lucy seems to be out on a limb. Everybody has a boyfriend except her, and since she put Tony on the back burner he’s found someone else. Then on a spa weekend with Izzie, she meets someone who seems just right for her. And he feels the same way about her.

But after a while, Lucy starts to feel smothered. Can someone love you too much? Maybe the life of a singleton isn’t so bad after all!

Mates, Dates and Mad Mistakes

As soon as Mum dropped me off, I made a dive for the ladies room, where I trashed the sandwich she’d made me and reapplied my makeup. Mum really didn’t understand. I couldn’t possibly get up on stage in front of everyone looking like I was dressed for afternoon tea with my grandma.

Izzie is restless, and eager to be treated like an adult. So she decides it’s time to make some changes. But the new Izzie comes with new problems. First there is Josh Harper, an older, cute but wild boy. Then there is her mother, who is opposed to every part of the ‘new Izzie.’

How can Izzie learn about herself and what it means to be grown up without upsetting everyone along the way?

Mates, Dates and Pulling Power

Izzie, Lucy, and T. J. crowded round and stared at me, like they were waiting for a circus freak to begin her act. I shook my head. ‘You’re going to have to open your mouth some time,’ said Lucy. ‘Come on, put your hand down.’ I shook my head. ‘It’s horrible. I look like a can opener.’

Nesta is devastated. She has to wear braces. She thinks that no boy will ever look at her again without thinking of the killer shark in Jaws. And practicing a smile that doesn’t show her teeth isn’t helping. There’s only one option: to become a recluse.

Lucy, Izzie, and T. J. try to help Nesta understand that her looks haven’t changed, but Nesta’s not convinced. Things change, however, when she meets Luke, who not only restores her confidence in her ability to attract boys, but also introduces her to a whole new side of her personality.

Mates, Dates and Tempting Trouble

‘I wonder what would have happened if I’d met you before Nesta,’ said Luke as he took my hand and looked deeply into my eyes. A bolt of electricity shot through me and I snatched my hand back as if it had been burnt. This can’t be happening, I thought.

When Luke, the boy that Nesta has been dating, declares passionate love for T.J., she doesn’t know what has hit her. She does her best to avoid him, but when the local schools are asked to work together on a project, Luke is chosen as the overall coordinator and T.J. has no choice but to report back to him on a regular basis. Misunderstandings and miscommunications threaten the girls’ friendship and split them into two camps: Lucy and Nesta, Izzie and T.J. Will their friendship survive? And what will T.J.’s steady boyfriend, Steve, make of it all?

Mates, Dates and Great Escapes

‘Do you think that room service will deliver chocolate?’ asked Izzie, who was on her knees on the floor with her face in the minibar. ‘We’re all out here.’ ‘Yeah,’ said T. J. ‘Who needs boys when you can have chocolate?’ ‘Ah, but they come in handy when we haven’t any,’ said Nesta. ‘Let’s call the boys in their rooms. Maybe they haven’t eaten their supplies.’A school trip to Florence seems like the perfect escape for Lucy. She wants time away from Tony, who is pressuring her to take their relationship further. In Italy she meets an American boy and thinks he might be the ideal way to get over Tony. He seems to be the perfect gentleman, and Italy introduces Lucy to a world of culture and sophistication. Will she be able to move on from Tony? Or is it a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire?

Mates, Dates and Chocolate Cheats

‘Hey listen guys. I need you to tell me something and I want you to be really really honest…
.’ ‘Sounds serious,’ said Nesta. ‘It is. I want you to tell me, do you think I’ve put on weight?’ Nesta, Lucy, and T J looked at each other. ‘No,’ said T J after a moment too long. ‘Not really. Well, we all did a little on the school trip. So no more than the rest of us.’

Izzie has always been ‘curvy,’ but since Christmas she has gained eight pounds, and nothing seems to fit anymore. In an attempt to lose weight, Izzie tries everything: one diet after another, a punishing exercise program, and every bit of conflicting advice anyone can give her.

Her constant worrying about her weight causes her to lose her confidence, and she stops appreciating the things in her life that are special her supportive friends, the fact that she has been selected for a TV teen panel, and a cute boy at the TV studio who seems to like her just the way she is.

Mates, Dates and Diamond Destiny

‘That William Lewis really thinks a lot of himself,’ I said. ‘He’s such a smartarse.’ ‘Hhmm,’said Lucy, grinning. ‘That’s what he said about you too.’ ‘He did? What a cheek! God, he annoys me. I really hate him.’ Lucy, TJ, and Izzie exchanged knowing looks. ‘Yeah sure,’ said TJ. ‘You hate him.’Nesta’s life is thrown into upheaval when she gets involved in charity work thinking that it might be a cool way to meet people mainly boys. But as her eyes are opened to the plight of the world, she begins to want genuinelyto get involved and help others. On top of this, Nesta meets William, a boy who questions her motives. At times, she’s convinced he hates her and the feeling is mutual. But Izzie, Lucy, and TJ think it is something more like love…
.

Mates, Dates and Sizzling Summers

‘ I reckon that’s the last we’ve seen of Ollie Axford,’ I said.

‘I wouldn’t be so sure TJ,’ said Nesta. ‘I bet he calls and asks you out.’

‘Nah, he looks like a player. You know the type. Too much of a twinkle in his eye to be trusted.’

‘A bit like Luke then?’ said Lucy.

Boys are like buses for TJ. No sign of one for ages and then two come along at the same time! First there’s charmer Ollie Axford. And just when TJ has decided that he could be the one, old flame Luke De Biasi tells her that he wants to rekindle their romance.

TJ is torn between the boys, and unhappy that it makes her look like a two timer. But it all seems unimportant when someone close to her is taken seriously ill. More than ever, TJ needs a clear head and the support of her friends as she faces the most important summer of her life.

White Lies and Barefaced Truths

Dear Squidge, I really like you but…
I ripped the letter up. Pathetic. ‘How am I going to do this, Bec? Help me.’

Becca’s face clouded. ‘He’s going to be devastated. He really adores you.’

Cat’s always been the perfect girl next door. Thoughtful friend. Supportive girlfriend. Surrogate mother to her three younger siblings. A great help to her dad since her mum died.

But now Cat’s facing some major dilemmas. A game of truth or dare lands her in hot water when she’s asked for a truth she can’t reveal. On top of this, she doesn’t want to hurt her boyfriend by telling him the truth, but she knows it’s over between them.

Is it right to tell lies to protect people or keep the peace? Can the truth be too hurtful? Cat tries to sort all this out, and in doing so, discovers a lot about herself and others.

Pop Princess

‘I have un grando dare for Becca and Cat, ‘ said Squidge. ‘You know this competition for Pop Princess? Well, I dare you both to enter.’ He looked pointedly at me. ‘And I mean both of you. Auditions are next Saturday.’ Becca missed the fun of the school production of Grease, and she has a reputation of being fickle and a dreamer. But the Pop Princess challenge makes her determined to try harder than she has ever tried before. She has the voice, but has she got the staying power?

Teen Queens and Has-Beens

‘Yeah but…
,’ I started,
then I decided to confront what I thought was probably really bothering her. ‘Look, about Jonno. I didn’t mean for anything to happen. He just kind of…

After a game of truth or dare, Lia manages to gain the interest of the school heartthrob, and alienates ‘teen queen’ Kaylie, who was after Jonno for herself. Kaylie and her friends then start a campaign of bullying against Lia the nasty, underhanded kind where rumors are spread, threats are sent, secrets are exposed, and confidence is underminded.

Soon Lia begins to question her whole life: who she is, why these girls have got it in for her, and who her real friends are…
.

Starstruck

Squidge is over the moon he has just started going out with the beautiful Lia. And when Lia challenges him to a game of Truth, Dare, Kiss or Promise, Squidge promises her that he will always be open and honest. But things get complicated when a film crew arrives in the area and Squidge’s dream to work on a movie comes true. Savannah, the celebrity teenage star, adopts Squidge as her personal runner and starts to show an interest in him. Will he be able to keep Savannah happy without breaking his promise to Lia?

Love Lottery

‘Get him and his big words,’ said Cat. ‘But I agree. Kiss. You must…
‘ ‘Kiss the next boy who comes onto the beach,’ Squidge finished for her. Becca’s on a losing streak with boys and she’s willing to resort to anything to have a little fun. So on a dare, she kisses the next guy she sees: Lal Lovering, who’s on holiday in Cornwall and totally cute. But when Becca realizes she’s interested in more than just a holiday fling, she wonders if Lal can ever see through her rather overwhelming first impression. Between her own changing feelings and her parents’ disintegrating marriage, Becca starts to see what sort of support a boyfriend can give…
and just how important her friends can be.

All Mates Together

‘What is the most important thing in your life?’ asked Nesta. ‘And you have to tell us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’ ‘Easy,’ said TJ. ‘My mates. Yeah, my family and my dog, Mojo, too, but mainly my mates.’ ‘Arrrr,’ chorused all the girls. Big changes are coming for Cat: post high school plans, a big move, and her dad is finally getting remarried. But despite having looked forward to the changes, now Cat’s worried about letting go of her old life and saying goodbye to her home. Cat’s friends come to the rescue and organize a sleepover. While playing truth or dare, the friends promise to always be there for each other no matter what happens in their lives. And as plans for the move and the wedding take shape, Cat learns that the more things change, the more the important things stay the same.
