March of 9th repeat
Plot
Claudia has been sitting for Haley and Matt Braddock one night, and Haley gets caught in a lie when her parents get home. After that, it is mother fucking game on - Haley is out to get Claudia. She convinces the rest of the kids in Stoneybrook that not only Claudia, but the entire BSC, are a bunch of liars and tattletails (Tattletales? Tattle tales?) Anyway, the BSC brainstorms and decides to use some psychology stuff that MA learned when she was seeing a therapist on Haley. It works, and it comes down to Haley is starting to suck at school, so she's been lying there to get our of stuff. When it works at school, she decides to start doing it at home too. Of course, the BSC solves the mystery and all is well.
Sub plot is that Claudia is still dating Josh, but she doesn't feel really romantic about him - she doesn't know how to handle it.But it turns out Josh is feeling the same way towards her, so they break up but remain really good friends.
Takeaways
Sometimes it's hard to take these books - these girls are SO INVOLVED in every single detail of their client's lives.
They keep talking about how much younger Josh is than the rest of the characters, and how he feels so intimidated by them. Um. He is in 7th grade and they are in 8th. How is it they have literally never met before Claudia got moved down to 7th grade? Stoneybrook cannot possibly be that big.
Best Character
Josh - he was way more mature than Claudia and initiated the break up conversation, even though that had to be scary for him considering he is "so much younger" than her.
Worst Character
The little liar Haley. I don't think all is well with her - this is just the beginning of her lying life. Soon she will be knocked up in high school.
