nancydawes, I can't remember her name now but I recall reading something about Claudia on the cover of Graduation Day and googling her. She has a comedy podcast (I think?) with her friend about online dating or something now lol

I hated the entire out-of-character Stacey/Claudia fight.
So foolish and unnecessary, especially to have it drag on for so many books.
It was a more fitting plot for a Sweet Valley or Fabulous Five book, not a BSC book.

I remember reading that the girls on the covers were actually in middle school at the time.

She has a comedy podcast (I think?) with her friend about online dating or something now, LOL. I liked most of the models except the one for Stacey on the FF book covers. I just hated the entire Stacey/Claudia fight plotline and the plotline of Abby, Mal and Jessi leaving the BSC.

I remember reading that the girls on the covers were actually in middle school at the time. Most of them were but I read Claudia was actually college-age cnj, I hated the Claud/Stacey fight too! It wasn't even true to to spirit of the BSC plus why were there two entire books in a row about it? I refuse to acknowledge the FFs as BSC canon.

I did like Stacey and Claudia making friends outside the BSC, I just wish it would've happened without the damaging fight between them.

Me too except for Mary Anne and Logan's breakup...I don't see them staying together beyond freshman year of high school. In my story, though, they break up in April of their 9th grade year. I also hated the fight! I did like Stacey and Claudia making friends outside the BSC, I just wish it would've happened without the damaging fight between them. Me too...so unecessary. And I hated how they dragged that fight on for too many books and had the bad feelings fester even after they "made up." I actually see the BSC gaining a few more members in high school and all of them branching out and making non-BSC friends, especially with the slew of new schoolmates they'd meet in high school.

It’s like Barbie and Ken breaking up😭 I know its extremely unrealistic but in my head they stayed together forever and got married

OMG, I have to say I really did not like their breakup plot. It’s like Barbie and Ken breaking up.😭 Chuckle. I never saw them as any Ken and Barbie. I saw them more as from the 1980s song Angelia with sort of reversed roles. I know it's extremely unrealistic but in my head they stayed together forever and got married. In my head, they have a bittersweet breakup in April of their 9th grade year after drifting apart during most of 9th grade. Logan eventually drifts away from the BSC altogether. I have the Brunos move to Bridgeport the summer after sophomore year, go to Burkeview High, meet some of the former Fabulous Five and their classmates there and end up dating Melanie Edwards and fall in with the "popular" clique there, which also includes Jana Morgan and Randy Kirwan, Sara Sawyer, Derek Travelstead and Tammy Lucero. For a fun twist, I imagine the Brunos moving into Taffy Sinclair's old house. 😁😁😁😁 Meanwhile, Mona Vaughn and her family move to Stoneybrook at the beginning of 11th grade, befriends Anna, Mary Anne and Stacey, who are in her homeroom and by November, ends up joining the BSC.

I would have liked them to stay broken up back in book 41 Me too...but NOT have Mary Anne be dating another boyfriend too soon...have at least twenty or fifty books of her without a boyfriend. Too many other teen books have a girl break up with one boyfriend and a week or so later, she's paired off with a new boyfriend.

I like Mary Anne and Logan's relationship but also thought the breakups were pretty well done .
