Helpful Score: 1

I have been reading these books before passing them on to my 13 year old daughter. The first three did, in my opinion, a nice job of depicting all the conflicting emotions and priorities in the lives of young women who were faced with many changes in their lives and priorities. The pacing was good, and the conflicts fell in naturally, and provided good discussion points with my daughter. This book seemed to be cramming too much into one volume, and lacked some of the exploration of emotion that accompanied the other books. I could not figure out how Lena's physical involvement with the art student added to her development as a character, or why she AND Tibby each had to have sex. Tibby's story at least followed a logical progression in her relationship with Brian. The author seemed to have tossed this one together, and while I was disappointed in her approach, it will give me A LOT to discuss!
