[alas! oh no!]
this novel could have been, at least, good (obviously...the premise--the most genuinely well-rounded and popular student at Lyon High enters her senior year--is literary gold!), and considering that there was a subplot (continued, it seems, from previous novels in the series) involving the Spanish monarchy (circa 1931...what does that mean?), this novel could have been great.
but the writing is like an underage amazon reviewer's summary of What Happened in Betty Lee, Senior. it meanders and somehow manages to over- and under-explain. i was, honestly!, lost for much of the novel. moreover, there was like nothing about clothing and/or food. bah.
one interesting parts:
"'Amy Lou is going through that now, and it's lots of fun, Doris. Let's see that she gets plenty through the mail, too. She'll smell a mouse if valentines in the mail box haven't any stamps on them.'" (146, emphasis added)
does she say "mouse" because "rat" is, like, too vulgar?
