I'm really not a fan of these "diary" books. Also, isn't Ashley dating Ross?

pre teen reads

A continuation of the previous book’s plot, but with more energy. This one is more exciting, and more interesting, but still loses points for being confusing.
I feel like the timing was just wrong. Maybe if it had happened at a different point in the series (say, prior to the boarding school), it may have worked brilliantly. But instead, it’s been shoved in the middle of a timeline that doesn’t make sense.

that camp was so fast, it felt like a week. I wasn't too sure to start when Brooke came back to camp and tried to keep Andrew and Max all to her self and leave Ashley out.i am glad they found Jessie, wish she would have made friends.

I felt a little bit boring first half. But after middle half, I enjoyed this teenager’s adventure. To begin with I was fan of Olsen sisters. I’m glad to meet her again.

low budget review for myself: Found this randomly at Book Nook and yay nostalgia. But isn's Ashley dating Ross already? I prefer the installments that are based in White Oak!

Can't believe I managed to read through almost 40 of these books. Mary Kate and Ashley were cool back in my day

I was a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and was on an endeavour to collect all their movies and books.

Two of a Kind was a cute little series that offered interesting storylines.
