Treacherous Love: The Diary of an Anonymous Teenager

I bought this book thinking that it would be somewhere along the lines of Go Ask Alice, but it turned out to be a real disspointment. The diary entries were so unrealistic, I found myself laughing at the parts that were entended to be emotionally upsetting, they were so clearly written by a pysciatrist. The world does not need another bs diary book, dont waste your money.

I read this book becuase it looked good and I saw alot of good reviews on amazon, but it was a huge dissapointment. Its not realistic at all. She is constantly saing she is a negative thinker and going off to the park and crying with her friends or mother and just making all of these connections that a real teenager never would. Theres too many CAPITALS and exclimation marks!!! with everything she said its almost mocking, that teenagers are total idiots. Its distracting from the story, that in reality isnt that good. Its hard to explain, but i was not suprised this was written by a psychiatrist. this person obviously was just trying to tell teenagers not to have relationships with teachers, and not writing a good book. Its a dissapointment. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. This person needs to stop writing books, they are horrible.

Treacherous Love edited by Beatrice Sparks is the journal of a 14 year old girl named Jennie. Her life turns upside down when her parents split up and her best friend gets a boyfriend. She feels so alone so she turns to her journal, until she meets her new math teacher Mr. Johnstone. Their relationship becomes more than just teacher and student. I think that this book, much like the rest of B. Sparks' book, there may be parts that are true but I don't think the whole thing is. If you had a choice between this book and something else , get the other book. I wanted to stop reading this so many times but I made my self push through it.

This book carries an important message but honestly, I can't stand the way it has been edited. It's marketed as a real diary but thats impossible to believe. It's not a 14 year old's diary at all which is pretty distracting. That alone ruined the book, if its not a true story it shouldn't claim to be one.

I read this book and although I did really enjoy it, I thought some parts seemed a little unrealistic (maybe not something a real teenage girl would write).I would however highly recommend this book to younger teen and preteen girls, because this book may allow you to futher understand when an adult is taking advantage of you, and this stuff does happen even with people you trust.This book (diary) may not be as good as some of the other stuff Beatrice Sparks has put out, but it still sends out a strong message to teenage girls.
