Still fun, still lovely illustrations that are bright and interesting to look at, still loads of awesome friendship but....I dunno. I've previously said that I enjoyed the slice of life/lax plot line vibe from this series but it seems like they decided to get a continuous plot (sort of). I didn't love the election story that much and it was just odd for the series. I still really enjoyed this and love the girls in the series but this wasn't the best. I need volume 4 though- cliffhangers are the worst!
