Meet Cécile by Cindy Salans Rosenheim, Christine Kornacki, Denise Lewis Patrick
4.0
I enjoyed Cecile's "Meet" book far more than Marie-Grace's. I'm not sure if it's her personality, which has a little more snap to it, or her life-style, which is far more interesting to me. It's not a perspective I've ever learned a lot about.
I wish her story wasn't a repeat of Marie-Grace's, only told from a different perspective. There wasn't enough difference to really warrant a second book, particularly at the ball scene. And don't even get me started on the poor illustrations. I already aired my complaints in my "Meet Marie-Grace" review, so I'll spare you here.
It's unfortunate that these girls did so poorly to warrant a quick retirement in the AG vault. I think what had been a money grab to sell two dolls at once would have been served better by focusing on one girl for a six girl series, like we've grown used to. Even if they did both as a six-book series with their lives intertwining would have been better.
