Jackie Barrett is a great Full House esque sit com name for your best friends mom. Granted, when I heard she had a long resume of working on political campaigns, I did immediately clock her as a homophobic Briggs Initiative volunteer and not someone who is helping to elect the Deputy Parks and Rec director as Orange Valleys first woman mayor

I like that Tina gets to be a decently fleshed out character without having to be too buddy buddy with Courtney. I don’t need her to have the same doting relationship as Joan and Maryellen. I like that they have a strained relationship because she’s 13 going on 14 and is also frustrated by all the changes that are happening with Courtney moving in full time with Courtney’s mom and step dad

The intro of the Challenger Launch is such an outrageous name drop. I have already listened to the Dolls of our Lives Ep on this book so I know it factors in heavily in place of a “Learns a Lesson” book. But honestly as a 30 year old I only recognize the challenger because of how it was compared to the ‘03 Columbia disaster. I have no idea how a target audience born in ‘10-‘13 would have any lens 4 this

Needed a break from Flowers so I picked up this audiobook. I am kind of torn because this book pulls a lot from the contemporary middle grade Babysitters Club/Sleepover Friends canon in its writing style. Which I get, Courtney is 10 in 1986 it would be deranged for her to have the same “I don’t want to be a proper lady” arc Samantha or earlier entries had but it loses some charm as an AG Entry
