wow. One of very few cases where the movie is better than the book! These books had very few redeeming qualities. They almost always read the same....lots of stress because Mia can't seem to be open and honest with her boyfriend because (despite what he's told her in every single book) she thinks he'll dump her. So while these books had a lot of potential, they get annoying really fast. Not to mention that the author seems to think that it's normal and acceptable for 14 year olds to have college boyfriends who constantly push them for sex... A few characters where fun (like her grandmother) but others (like Lilly) are so ridiculously and unlikeable that I wish they'd been written completely out of the story! ( )
