How is this useful, you ask? It's all apart of a contest our camp is having with the rival camp down the road, and I want to win! But someone is standing in the way of our victory. My very own sister! -- Mary-Kate

This one confused me. They’ve been at boarding school for half the series at this point, including in the previous book. In that book, where they both have boyfriends, the entire plot revolves around their relationships.
And then suddenly in this book, they’re going to a camp and they’re… single? No mention of the boyfriends at all, and they’re flirting with other boys (and one gets a new “boyfriend” for the duration of the two-book plot).
There have been a lot of continuity errors in this series that I’ve just brushed off, but this plot makes absolutely no sense.
It still gets a neutral 3 because if we ignore the timing, it’s still a solid plot, and it’s definitely a fun one. But what the heck was this??

I am not the biggest fan of the diaries style writing. but I really liked this one. I am glad the girls did something else for summer instead of the trips with school. it just makes it feel more real and normal. it seems like they never see their dad. but where has Jessie go!
