Stacey has a bit of a strange pose to her, like she's trying to hug someone but there's no one standing next to her.

It just didn't feel like the BSC without Stacey. Somehow this book was actually really good, despite the divorce coming kind of suddenly (there was foreshadowing, but they seemed fine in #18) and the book trying to build suspense yet the title and cover giving it away XD. It was well written enough to be enjoyable.
Stacey ACTS 13 in this book. She locks herself in her room all night, neglects her homework, and tells her parents she hates them. I haven't read this book in forever (somehow, most of the books in the 20s were rare re-reads. I'm enjoying them more because I don't remember them as well), and I don't recall any of this. It's pretty entertaining. I like reading about them being imperfect. As a kid, I didn't like Stacey (although I was glad she was brought back), and on re read I really don't know why.
I liked the house hunting chapter, too, as well as the description of the new McGill house. I think I'd really like a house like that. I do wonder why Maureen didn't look into apartments, but I'm glad she didn't, because Mystery Diary was one of my favorites growing up. Idk how she afforded it, but I don't read BSC for realism.
I actually really liked Laine in this book. She was very mature about Stacey's move and it was cool to bring the McGills breakfast.

In my area you might pay $1200 a month for an apartment or $600 a month for a house payment. If people can come up with a down payment then it is much more beneficial to buy than to rent. That is something that I had no clue on as a child.
