Kristy's Worst Idea by Ann M. Martin

3.0

(LL)
The following review is still relevant, but I downgraded it from five stars to three stars since THEY GLOSSES OVER THE WHOLE THING IN THE NEXT TWO BOOKS. They did probation with no issues and the club went back to normal without changing a thing. Ugh. It could have been such a good thing to change some of the rules/routine of the BSC for the series overall, but I guess they changed their minds.


I think it was time that they broke up the club, even if for only a few weeks. Schedules get more complicated and full as you get older, and meeting three times a week once they get into high school would be a difficult task. I also liked that they didn’t just go back to usual like nothing happened, as that would have made the break up kind of pointless. It’s difficult growing up, and that’s what the members of the BSC are doing, and sometimes that means somethings gotta give. It also gave the series some real drama for the first time: will the book series be over soon? Will the trial period work out or no? Can the BSC work together to find meeting times that works for everyone?
It’s just the shake up that the series needed.
