Romance is tossed into this novel, as the girls are older. I liked that their situations are all different but authentic. I especially enjoy Cassiday in these novels - she is great! I had a lot of empathy for Megan in this novel - and it reminded me that even if we think someone is super confident, they may be hiding shyness or their own insecurities. We have to look beyond appearances. One other thing I have enjoyed is seeing how the mothers grow and change. Obviously their storylines are secondary, but we get glimpses and I think that is a positive message to girls. ( )

Love this series and have every intention to reread them all in the future while also reading the books that they talk about in their club! ( )

I am in the acknowledgements which means that this book is awesome!

Okay since that does not constitute a book review or anything except gloating I will review the book. The girls are reading Jane Eyre and there is excitement in Concord, there is a French exchange student Sophie who comes to stay with Megan and her family. Each of the girls learn a lesson relating to Jane Eyre. Megan gets to go to Paris with Gigi for Fashion Week and the descriptions of Paris made me miss it so much. I also loved Becca's trip to Minneapolis and Mankato.

I like the progression of Becca's character and that she really has become less of a brat as the years go by. I love the literary names of the characters that we run into.

This really is a great series of books. It is a great way to get girls interested in reading the classics mentioned in these books too. ( )

I've enjoyed this whole series, but this one the most, since it includes references to so many of my favorite things--Jane Eyre, Betsy-Tacy, The Wizard of Oz. and the idea of the "After Library." ( )
