The Dating Game (Dating Game #1)

Reader reviewed by TruBlu

Even though their IDH project is over with, the girls, Lina, Holly, and Mads, continue on with the Dating Game. This time around, as they keep their personal lives out of it, they are stuck with their hardest assignment yet, to match Nuclear Autumn. Autumn is not one to be crossed, she blogs about any and everything on her blog, Nuclear Autumn, so one wrong move, and these girls are in for it. But the girls personal love life, is juicy enough to blog about, too bad Autumn has no clue what's going on, especially for Lina. Could she have finally found a way to get to Dan, her lover? Is Mads finally going to get that long awaited experience from the Art guy? And is Rod ready for what Holly has in stock for him? Is Holly ready for what she has in stock for Rob?

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 love all of the dating games books. Im about to get the 4th. I think they are just great. After doing my book talk infront of the class all of my friends are wanting to read the book because they think its soo intresting.It really relates to girls in highschool and even grade 8's. Its also very funn to read the IM's. Because thats what most teen girls do.And they gossip a little too and thats what most girls do to. But theses books were amazing .. if Natalie Standiford didnt write theses books i prolly wouldnt be reading at all. Cant wait to read the next one! Hope there is many more books to come!

Lina, Holly and Mads are back and the Dating Game is still as popular as ever. Holly's boyfriend, Rob is perfect, but Holly seems to be finding imperfections with him, from his choice of clothes to his politeness. She decides to break up with him because she didn't know that he was IT. Lina is still obsessed with her teacher, Dan. When she finds that he is part of an online dating service, she makes up a fake persona and starts communicating with him. Mads is still crushing on Sean. But when she enters an art contest, she becomes friends with Stephen, another artist.

Lina has to deal with the fact that she can never persue a relationship with her teacher. Holly realizes that she may have let her IT guy slip away and Mads realizes that there is more to a person than being the most popular guy in school.

I thought that this was really good. There are so many good series out there, and I think that the Dating Game will soon be one of them. I can't wait to see what happens next in the Dating Game and I would definately recommend this to everyone. Natalie Standiford is one author to look out for!
