^ They do at lots of fast food restaurants. ;D Another reason I like them better than sit down places that rip you off anyway and make you wait forever (and the food tastes the same to me.) ;D

^I like fast food places better too. I'm a picky eater, so fast foods tend to have more stuff I like.

^ Glad to know I'm not alone. ;D They actually have healthier choices for my dad, too. A lot of fancy places don't even have fat free salad dressing but Wendy's and BK do..... I really liked Stacey and her mom's talk at the end. Reminded me of how I always talk to my mom about stuff I'm upset about. ;D

^I liked the talk Stacey had with her mom too, and how she told her parents she wasn't going to be the "monkey" anymore and communicate between the two anymore.
And, I thought it was so weird that Cokie got a nose job. Isn't 13 a little young to be having plastic surgery? ..Mallory must've envied it though. ;D

I knew a girl in middle school who got a nose job the summer before 9th grade. When I first read that Cokie got a nose job in this book I thought it was sort of a big deal.

^ I always thought it was a lie or just a rumor about Cokie's. Does everyone else think it was real?

i was always undecided. i can't imagine a doctor okaying a 13 year old for a nose job, but it's bsc, where 13=17.

I thought Cokie actually got a nose job. Kristy said that she'd been absent from school and it looked like she got a nose job, but I can't really imagine a doctor okaying that either. Maybe you need Parent Consent forms??

Stacey isn't feeling fine but she doesn't tell her mother and she goes to New York anyway to stay with her father, and ends up in Hospital. Subplot: Charlotte being hypocondriac.

Also, Stacey's parents won't be in the same room as each other and keep putting her in the middle. She finally calls them on it. The BSC comes to visit Stacey in the hospital, too. This is one of my favorites. ;D

sounds sad....how does she "not feeling well"? She gets off her diet a little and eats chocolate, becomes hungry and thirsty and lethargic. She goes to NY to see her dad, but then she gets sick and has to go into the hospital .

^ Right. She starts going into insulin shock I think but she didn't really make herself sick by eating the chocolate. Like I've said before, she probably ate it (though she didn't realize this in the book) because her blood sugar was messed up already so her body craved it. Her dr. said that the insulin was probably messed up because her body was changing, she was growing, etc (from what I remember). She had blood sugar readings that weren't right and was feeling sick and tired (from the insulin being out of balance) before she even ate the candy. She does get better, though, and the scene with the BSC there is fun. ;D
