As I suspected, the early story (or the one I thought I was reading, anyway) is gone from the series; what's left is mostly about some girls fighting for a boy, or at least for dominance over him. To my mild irritation, keeping up that story seems to call for the characters to be rather erratic so they can take offence unreasonably and be melodramatic (although in fairness that's sometimes how teenage life goes). However, I still had a reasonable time with it. ( )
