I've really liked the first two books in this series--they've been a great balance of drama and comedy, which I'm a sucker for. I do wish that the parental nonsense had been less forgiving of the main character's parents, who were selfish asshats and hadn't really earned the forgiveness they got. I am so weary of this is YA. 
 But, despite this niggle, I continue to appreciate Jennifer Echols' engaging, girl-positive stories. I don't think she gets nearly the credit she should in this regard.
