I fell in love with these books in High School. I have read every one of them. I would absolutely read them over and over. Being out of Print makes it hard as life was lived and books are gone.
I wish they would reprint them into digital. I would be all over that!
Definitely an Awesome series, that I would Absolutely read again!

The Flirts choose a *fat* but attractive girl to replace Diana, Sam is moderately bitchy about the girls weight, but Emma connects with Erin, and she seems a cool chick. Emma sadly reconnects with Kurt😢

I believe this was a plot suggested by a fan. It was a little nuts how often we are told how pretty Erin is, even if she's plus-sized. We get it, everyone should feel good about themselves.
Outfit description for a go-see
Erin - black miniskirt & pink t-shirt. Over the t-shirt she worke a loose crocheted pink sweater. Pink lipstick and black and pink heart shaped earrings with wild hair.
Emma - white linen pants, white vest over a sleeveless white lase t-shirt.

This was my SVH when I was a younger. It allowed me to bond with my cousins in a way only a young book club could, and it helped with my dyslexia. Loved this book series when I was younger I think it’s a great buy for any teenager looking for a fun read.
