And one of the synopses says that Casey is 13, but in your recap it says she's 14.

I have only read the Dawn Rochelle books (and have rightly assumed the rest of Lurlene's books were similarly about illness and death, rife with inspirational crap). Reading these entries are so much better than reading the books. Obvs.<BR/><BR/>And btw, bf stands for boyfriend and bff for best friend forever. That said, it is actual teen slang used nowadays...

Well, I guess she IS named LURLENE, for goodness sake. Not her fault.<BR/><BR/>Also I so got a chill at you mentioning the Holocaust in a Lurlene recap because I just feel like somehow SHE KNOWS and Amy, DON'T GIVE HER IDEAS.<BR/><BR/>I have a suggestion for future recaps: I am always interested in the publication date of the book, when I read the posts. Since you skip around newer and older, and I'm a Lurleneverse noob, I guess? Like I would have never known (or believed?) this was published less than 2 years ago if I hadn't followed the Amazon link. Sooooo enhances the experience, I have to say!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
