Buttercup, anyone who tells you to just forget about the past is being really insensitive. Just because we heal from these things doesn't mean there aren't ever times when they still upset us, and healing doesn't run on a schedule. It's brave of you to talk about it.
Re the book, I love Henry and Grace, too.

I like this book because it's where we meet Ethan. He sounds hot, and seems like the type of guy who would get tattoos when he is older (which I also find hot on some guys). He was really cute with the Walker kids. I know I'm biased, but I imagine Robert as *possibly* turning out as gay, kind of like Blake on G.C.B.
I can actually remember my friends and I reading this book in Grade 6, I believe - and I can picture it on the end of the desks (you know how kids would pile up things on the left or right side of their desk).
Edited to add: I FORGOT TO MENTION MY FAVOURITE PART! It happens on page 3. Stacey and Abby are talking in the hallway at school and Abby has her hair piled on top of her head "like a mop". That scene made me burst out laughing, just picturing Abby's hair like that. I think it's one of my fav Abby moments ever.

Just finished this one, and I'm super bugged by the missing Dawn issue! This book takes place before Dawn Schafer, Undercover Baby-Sitter (because Kristy leaves for Hawaii midway through this book, and in Dawn Schafer, Undercover Baby-Sitter, Kristy is in Hawaii), but Dawn is mysteriously absent from all the scenes in this book, even though she's still in Stoneybrook in DSUBS. And to make it more confusing, Dawn's picture is in the sidebar on the cover of this book, which you would think they would only do if Dawn were in this book. Frustrating!

I thought of this book because I was eating a Fluffernutter sandwich while reading a news story that happened to mention the Fitzroy Gallery. I was like, "Fluff and the Fitzroy, two things that are mentioned in Stacey's Broken Heart!" Yeah. Edited to add: I FORGOT TO MENTION MY FAVOURITE PART! It happens on page 3. Stacey and Abby are talking in the hallway at school and Abby has her hair piled on top of her head "like a mop". That scene made me burst out laughing, just picturing Abby's hair like that. I think it's one of my fav Abby moments ever. Haha I often wear my hair like this at home, piled on top of my head because I have Abby hair, too. I also loved this moment in the book.

One of my favourite scenes is when Stacey and Ed have dinner at Lions Lair and they sit out on the patio where one wall is made up of a giant rock. As they're eating, lights come on in surrounding apartments. I really miss eating on patios in big cities, maybe more so now because it's patio season. Like in Too Many Sitters, I liked seeing both aspects of Stacey's life (Connecticut vs. NYC). Her NYC life in this one seemed especially glamorous as she seemed to go out to a lot of fancy dinners, plays, museums and such. The Walker kids are too perfect, although that's common in BSC land. I know a lot of people who cannot really be not in a relationship and tend to bounce from one relationship to the next. There is technically nothing wrong with that and I just see Stacey as one of those people. The opening scene always makes me want tuna on a ROLL (not sliced bread, a roll!) I love how specifically that was written.

Stacey let Robert get away with it too easily. If I found out that my boyfriend cheated on me with another girl there will be hell to pay.
I like this book okay-I like the Walkers and Ethan. I like any books that are set in New York.

And forgot to add that I hated Abby being president. She was terrible at it-spending their money when she didn't need to.

She also bought all those clothes for Anna in Abby's Twin without even knowing for sure if she would like them. Slow down, Abs!

Okay, my main issue is that this book really isn't that interesting. Also, there's a question I have, regarding the continuity of "Stacey and the Bad Girls". Obviously Stacey stopped hanging out with those girls after the thing at the concert. But several times, I got the impression that she still wanted to be friends with Andi. I mean, yeah, she said she thought the girl with Robert might've possibly been Jacqui because she was one of the most unlikable girls in the book (in my opinion at least, Sheila being one of the more likable and Heather and Mia being somewhere in the middle), but she definitely categorized Andi as one of those girls because they met through Robert's group. In the other book, when Stacey has suspicions of the other girls shoplifting, she says straight out that Andi herself wouldn't shoplift, and I think she stresses about what'll happen when Andi comes back at the end of the summer, but it's like Stacey completely forgot she existed until this book, and the only reason she appeared here was so we could still have a reasonably sympathetic character being partly responsible for Robert and Stacey's breakup.

This may seem like something strange, but I noticed that when Stacey was talking to some of the girls she was friendly with in "Stacey and the Bad Girls" about Robert, the story mentioned Jacqui and Heather, but not Mia. I know Jacqui popped up now and again throughout the series after her introduction, but did Heather ever appear after this book, and was Mia ever mentioned again? I know Andi and Sheila had a few appearances. I don't know. Maybe I just noticed because I've been seeing a ton of fictional mean people called Heather. This one is probably the mildest I've seen, since she's just a delinquent type like the other girls from the concert - there's also a Heather in the animated reality show parody "Total Drama" - now that's mean. Even worse is the recurring character from Wendelin Van Draanen's "Sammy Keyes" series - she improved after book 16, but in every other book, she spent the whole time trying to ruin the titular character's life because...I don't know, I think she was jealous of how Sammy could just be so at ease with being herself. But back to this book...yeah, I didn't find it that interesting. The only thing I really noted was that characters who I thought were just one-time from "Stacey and the Bad Girls" made an appearance.

Oops! Ignore my last post - it was meant to be on "Stacey's Ex-Boyfriend". But on that note, didn't she say in "Stacey and the Bad Girls" that she was wondering how she was going to deal when Andi came back from vacation? Here, it seems like she basically stopped being friends with Andi because she wasn't friends with the other girls.
