Katie-Rose, Violet, Milla, and Yasaman are back for another round of blogging, videos, chats and text messages. This time they face the problems jealousy, a mentally ill parent, crushes, hamster death and a fight for healthier food. All while trying to stay friends.
Myracle once again proves she has an ear for the voices of the tween set. She also knows how to integrate new technology into her writing without it being a gimmick. These two facts make up for the fact that the story takes a bit to get going and some parts are a little implausible.
Good stuff.

I really liked this book, even though I believe the first one was a little more interesting to me. I disliked how sassy and mean Katie-Rose was being to Natalia. I felt like she was the new Modessa. I don't think it was necessary to put the death of Stewie the way Lauren Myracle did. It was a little unclear to me and after realizing what happened, a bit, you know, weird. But, overall, I liked the book enough to give it four stars.(I would have given it three and a half stars, though)

OH, how I <3 this series!!!! 4 girls who all have both good and bad things going on in their 5th grade lives. Acknowledges how hard the age is, while still pointing to the parts where there is joy. I wish I could have read this when I was 10! Tween-ness handled with sensitivity, respect, and HUMOR. A supportive, safe series for girls struggling with being THAT age.

I Loved this book. It was so good. I think is just because I really like Lauren Myracle's books and her style of writing, that's probably why I like her books. My favorite character in this book is Camilla also known as Milla. She did something terrible to her crush, Max. She killed his hamster!!! You have to read the book to find out the rest. Violet has deal with something big. Her mother is in a mental hospital.Also, this boy in her class Cyril keeps staring at her and writing in his mysterious journal.Katie-Rose has problems with another girl, Natalia. Yasaman is having an internal conflict. She has to decide whether to be Natalia's friend or Katie-Rose's friend.In the end all of the girls fix their problems. Great Book for all types of girl, especially because the book is written from different girls' point of view.

Lauren Myracle's books are highly rated by readers and critics alike, but I am not overly impressed with her books. This book was written (the readering level, and the way that the characters spoke) for a pretty young age. Id say third or fourth grade. But it also delt with some pretty heavy issues. So it is a bit difficult to know what age to recommend this book to. However, think book was, in my opinon a HUGE imprevment to TTYL.
