May of 9th repeat
Plot
Stacey and Kristy are both in a film making class at school. Kristy's group does a project where they record the kids of Stoneybrook and she is grouped with Alan Gray. Kristy, of course, is a psycho and takes over and is completely rude to Alan. She also tries to make the kids "act funny" and they get annoyed with her, along with the other babysitters.
Stacey's group is interviewing middle schooler's about their innermost thoughts and feelings. They end up getting some really real answers from their classmates - like Jessi feeling weird being one of the only black kids in Stoneybrook, MaryAnne being angry with her mother for dying, Alan Gray feeling like no one will ever take him seriously. Even Stacey ends up talking about her parents fighting and eventual divorce. MA and Stacey are worried about how they will be portrayed, but the film ends up being amazing.
Takeaways
Stacey's boyfriend has always been 15, but in this book he is 16. So he gets to age but no one else does?
Kristy is pretty much the worst in this book, again, and Abby tells her as much. It's kind of hilarious. She writes in the club notebook how terrible Kristy is.
Best Character
I think Jessi is the best character in this book - she finally says all the things she has probably been thinking for years, and Stacey is all hurt that Jessi doesn't feel like she fit in, but she is just like meh...it's the truth, deal with it Blondie.
Worst Character
Just Kristy, She is such a monster sometimes.
