A lot of the book is pretty realistic feeling- they worry about normal things (such a win for me- girls worried about period supplies, because of course they would be!), and daily living stuff. This isn't to say that the book was slow or anything, it just included things that made it feel far more plausible. I also liked the turn the story took in the sequel, which of course I am not expanding on because spoilers.
The characters are witty and entertaining, and I enjoyed the new characters that have been added to the story. I do hope there is a third book (though there is no indication of one at this point) because it wrapped up a decent part of the plot for this book, but it seems like there is more to the story. I hope one day we get it!
Bottom Line: Overall, it was a solid installment, but I will have a serious case of the sads if there is no third book. I kind of became attached to Patsy and company!
