School Library Journal Review
Gr 9 Up-The teen years are filled with many firsts-and feelings of self-consciousness are a given. The authors use a light, youthful tone to offer heartfelt advice and encourage readers to embrace their personal bests. Each title explores the psychological aspects and common misconceptions behind the titular topic along with the influence of technology, common courtesy, and manners. The necessity of self-care is an underlying message, especially when dealing with negative encounters. Many constructive methods and coping strategies are provided throughout this series. While putting a positive spin on even harmful circumstances, the authors focus on the value of personal introspection. The reality of more serious subjects, such as teenage drinking, is not glossed over. VERDICT An honest and helpful exploration of many significant teenage milestones.

Booklist Review
Despite its worrisome title, this volume in the Teen Survival Guide series (6 titles) takes a lighthearted approach to the anxiety-inducing world of first dates. In chatty, friendly text, it walks teens through asking someone out, getting rejected or accepted, actually going on a date, and decompressing afterward. Less about impressing a potential partner (although there's a brief overview of manners) and more about encouraging confidence, this thorough guide details multiple scenarios. Sidebars examine fun date ideas, the pros and cons of a group outing, and what to do when the check comes, while a more sobering section discusses what to do with dates gone wrong. The photos primarily feature stock heterosexual couples, but in most places, the text takes a gender-neutral approach. For teens nervous about interacting with potential romantic partners, there's good advice here.--Reagan, Maggie Copyright 2018 Booklist
