the continuing story of my new favorite YA character, cyd charisse. again, there's not a ton of action and we ramble along with cyd and her new female friends, watch to see what happens with shrimp, with nancy, with fernando & sugar pie. i want to know more about the supporting characters- sugar pie, ash, and sid in particular, though all of the characters are delighful, but maybe the lack of depth works with cyd's place in life- she's a little wrapped up herself. still, i'm deducting a star for that because i am really curious. maybe i'll find out more in cupcake. but- i love love love where cyd is when we leave this book. and i am beginning to be obsessed with rachel cohn.

I'm in love with Cyd Charisse.
That's really all there is to it.

This wasn't the best in the series, but it was still a good read. I enjoyed the first book much more, but this book had a sad ending, (no spoilers!) and kind of a sad all around feel to it. I would say that this book is still readable, though, but it wasn't as good as the other two.

Rachel Cohn's books (as well as a few other YA authors') are my version of beach reading - the characters are compelling and interesting, figuring themselves out and breaking some rules, they're right on the border between believable and crazy, and there's always a little romance. I have no idea why this one shows her with a surfboard, since she never surfs in the entire book. Anyway, 4 stars because it's fun, not because it's Great Literature. Lots of YA appeal but there is that equally YA sex, language and drug use - nothing in extreme but it's either there or strongly hinted at.
