review 1: This may be the funniest book I've read this year. Definitely one of the top 5 books I've read this year.The author, Pamela Ribon, wrote notes to boys when she was in middle school and high school. This is hardly unusual. But she wrote several drafts before she gave the note to said boy. And kept the drafts. The entire book is a compilation of notes she wrote to various boys through the years, with commentary from Pamela about the note and boy. Her commentary is spot on and entertaining. It was good for me to know that someone else experienced the emotions, drama, and vagueness of boys during middle school and high school. I loved this book. Loved loved loved. If you like to laugh and appreciate a trip down memory lane - read this book.
review 2: Pam ... more(of Pamie.com) shares her teenage journals and notes and stories with commentary from her current self. Little Pam wrote a lot of notes to boys, and she saved all her first drafts, which are funny and sad and very very (squirm in your seat) awkward. Pam unflinchingly shares the intense feelings and words of Little Pam with great affection and gratitude for the things that she has learned since these tumultuous times, and that’s what gives the book such heart. I would love to give Notes to Boys to high school girls so that they could see that they are not alone in the intensity of their feelings and also to remind them to hang in there because life after high school is very different. I think I would have loved a book like this in high school. It’s not targeted as specifically young adult or new adult but I think it will find a lot of fans there. I also recommend it for anyone who works with teenagers or remembers their teen years as being particularly rough. less
