It is AUTUMN! Which means they skipped the whole summer and we are now at the beginning of their third 8th grade/6th grade year.
Plot
Stacey is living the typical "child of a divorce" life. Her and her mom live in Stoneybrook and her dad lives in New York. Her mom is working part time and trying to find a full time job. Meanwhile, her dad calls her and asks her to come to New York in a few weeks because he just got named vice-president of his company and they are having a huge dinner and banquet. Stacey buys a new outfit and is so freaking excited for her weekend in New York.
Then her mom faints at a job interview and gets rushed to the hospital. It ends up she has pneumonia and Stacey loses her GD mind. She skips school the next day to take care of her mom, and then she sets up an entire schedule so her mom is never alone for a minute. THEN she decides she can't go to New York, and she calls her dad and tells him to find another date. He gets very sad and his voice breaks and he tells her she is all he has. And she's like "well maybe if you weren't such a workaholic, you would have relationships." BITCH.
Stacey's mom is like chill, go to New York, so Stacey decides to go, but for less than 24 hours. She basically gets into town, goes to the dinner, calls her mom every ten minutes, then makes her dad leave the party early. Then makes him get up at 430am to take her to the train station. And is confused when he is annoyed.
When she gets back to Stoneybrook, she realizes that she completely fucked up her "mom schedule" and there were like three people scheduled at once. Then she realizes she's not so great after. She decides to plan a "best dad ever" dinner to make it up to her dad.
Also, the side story in this book is that all the kids in Stoneybrook spend all their money buying cheap shit out of the back of magazines. Then they realize it's cheap shit and try to sell it to suckers in town. No one buys anything, but they basically pay them quarters and dimes to get off their doorstep.

Takeaways
Stacey is ridiculous in this entire book. Like, I know her mom is sick, I get it. But seriously. Stacey spends like two entire weeks just sitting in her mom's room staring at her.
Somehow, even though Mrs. McGill skips a second interview with some huge department store because she is sick, she gets the job.
The most annoying thing about this entire book is that Stacey is THIRTEEN. Her dad could have been like no, fuck that, you are coming here for the entire weekend. Why was Stacey determining when a grown ass man has to leave his own party?

Best character
Mrs. Pike comes over all the time to take actual care of Mrs. McGill (because Stacey sucks at it) and then gets up at the asscrack of dawn to pick Stacey up at the train station when she insists on getting back at 6am.

Worst character
Stacey is insufferable throughout this entire book. Also, the picture below features my new Apple Watch.
