But as you pointed out Claudia and Stacey had their problems right before the series ended. I always got the feeling Stacey would break away from the group busy dating high school boys and that Claudia would probably get more involved in the art world. Taking more classes and making friends from those classes. I don't really see Kristy and Mary Anne breaking apart from each other until maybe college.

Claudia and Stacey started pulling away at one point and got sucked back in, but then they had that fight over Jeremy and stopped talking for a long time too. I wonder if they'd go their separate ways or cling together?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717387924829212115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-85537051312737602882017-02-22T00:43:46.374-05:002017-02-22T00:43:46.374-05:00It does.

And its funny because I always thought when they were going to do the Forever Friends or what ever those were called that was going to be when they finally moved up to high school. She mined all she could out of middle school and the 8th grade to the point it was getting ridiculous. But there was so much they could have done with high school. For one a new school and new grounds. New clubs. Even changes with in their families with Charlie leaving for college and Stacey's father remarrying. It seemed like a natural progression for a series that started when most of the girls were 7th graders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-21685601194480426442017-02-22T00:37:38.399-05:002017-02-22T00:37:38.399-05:00LOL!

I do think it's funny that Martin won't do a book set in high school or college because she doesn't want to ruin the magic, but then writes this book that messes with the continuity anyway :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717387924829212115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-48601878522588550182017-02-20T22:07:45.503-05:002017-02-20T22:07:45.503-05:00I never even thought about her sending Stacey back...I never even thought about her sending Stacey back to the same school!

Like the Sweet Life where Todd married Jessica who didn't become an actress, and Elizabeth dated Bruce. Or Steven and Aaron are suddenly gay. Or the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird. <br /><br />But it really was pretty good even if there were a couple weird parts. Claudia using her neighbor's pool for a party, or Mary Anne suddenly finding a box of her mom's things (and kind of ruins the book where she decided to learn more about her mom).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-87056002327953128062017-02-08T04:13:54.642-05:002017-02-08T04:13:54.642-05:00I always thought it was weird that the Goldmens j...I always thought it was weird that the Goldmens just left their house for their teenage neighbor to use too. Who does that?<br /><br />No, I never received presents from my aunts, uncles and cousins on my birthday either. <br /><br />Maureen fails to notice a lot when it came to Laine. She's the one who acts like what happened in Stacey's very first book was no big deal. Who thinks that about a girl who was a horrible little shit to their daughter? Then again she re-enrolls her daughter back in the same school where she was treated like crap by her classmates when they moved back to NYC. Hope Maureen likes paying Stacey's therapy bills.
