[Patricia Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

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!

In a previous book we were told that Adam is the adopted son of Sam's Mom and Step-Dad. They had tried getting pregnant and couldn't so they adopted Adam. Now in this book, Adam is referred to as Sam's "half-brother."

This Sunset Island book just let me shaking my head. All the adults in the series are advocating that Carrie enter into a green card marriage. Also, Carrie's parents come to visit. She tells her friends in all seriousness, "You'll like them. They're Democrats." I don't think I've ever told someone that they would like a person based on a political party. Or that an author would think this couldn't be better expressed.
Onto outfit descriptions, the most fun part of these books. These are for lunch with the girls.
Carrie - golden leggings, black tank-top undershirt, and a black and gold men's baseball jersey with a pair of black Converse All-Star sneakers on her feet.
Emma - white cotton jumpsuit turned up at the bottom to show pink and white polka-dot cuffs.
Sam - white t-shirt, oversized men's boxer shorts held up with Mickey Mouse suspenders, and her trademark red cowboy boots.
