^ I like them both, just in different ways. I do like Sharon with Richard and Carol with Jack, though. Guess that's good since it's how things ended up. ;D

I thought it was nice of Carol in this book to help Dawn study for her tests.

^ I had forgotten about that but agree. ;D Things like that are why I could never understand why Dawn criticized Carol for being so immature and young. (except that she just didn't want to like her)

The thing that bothers me the most is how MA looks like she has 2 left feet on the cover

I really liked this one! I'm surprised that so many people didn't like it. It had crazy, wacky Peter written all over it.
I thought it was dumb of Mary Anne to get upset over the bridesmaid thing, but not as dumb for Dawn to think it. I mean, she did pick out the dresses without any input from Carol, and she bought two. Carol and Jack sounded as ditsy as Sharon. Did they not bother to look at the bill?
Claudia's storyline: She had no idea how much a plane ticket to California was, but she flew out there in California Girls so she should have a general idea. I thought there was going to be an issue with her spending too much money at the flower store, but again no mention of Jack and Carol seeing the bill. They were really uninvolved with their own wedding. I think it was a fine idea that she took pictures at the wedding along with the pro photographer.
Jessi had the best lines. When she was offered the Santa job: "Uh, guys, I can't. Three small things. I'm eleven years old. I'm a girl. And I'm black. Remember?" Hee, how could they have forgotten that, Jessi?! Then her journal entry at the end: "I wish you all could have seen me as Santa. I was great. Really, I'm not being conceited." She's priceless.
Stacey: Not much to say, except she's a size 6. Certainly not big, but not the sickly thin she's made out to be.
Mallory: Again, not much to say. Were Ben and Mal ever mentioned as actual boyfriend/girlfriend before this book? When they had the fight she mentioned him as "former boyfriend" and during their phone conversation he said something like "we didn't have to break up over it." If they were boyfriend/girlfriend, why didn't he ever get a shout out in chapter 2s?
I wonder if the whole club was invited out to Cali? It'd be odd if Dawn just chose a few.

Yeah, with vanity sizing. People say Marilyn Monroe was a size 12, but it's more like a 6 in today's sizes. There's a picture online of her next to someone who's a today 12 and there is a very big difference. The industry allows for vanity sizing because it's not regulated the way men's clothes is.

Which is why Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are now "perfect size fours" instead of "perfect size sixes." Gag me.

They should be size 2s anyway. That's the model standard.

Mr. Schafer is a cheapskate! Why else would he hire a 13 year old wedding planner?! That beach wedding sounded just plain awful to me! Dawn's Mary Anne's and Carol's dresses were soooo ugly! The clothes were strange and it seemed waaaaay to informal for a wedding, like even worse than being married in the city hall! Not that I'm against beach weddings, but geeze, try to make it a little more special! Knowing Claud, the decorations were crepe paper and balloons or something! I know they wanted it to be a "homemade, laid back" kind of wedding but ....wow!

I've had my beach wedding planned since I was 11. It's going to be totally casual, and it's really going to make my mom angry. But I'm going to love it because it's going to be perfect for me. Maybe I'll have a fancy one too.

Like we didn't feel intimidated enough with them being "Perfect Size 6's" now they have to be size 4! Gag me indeed .

I am all imperfect in my size 1 jeans 'cause I don't have sun-streaked blonde hair or eyes the colour of the Pacific Ocean.
I wouldn't really care if the books mentioned that the twins were size 4 if they didn't put the word "perfect" in front of it. Because if that's perfection, then it means that the rest of us who aren't size fours suck.
