Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-14 00:00:00 Brenda Cadieux Another favorite from childhood I re-read this week. This one didn't stand up as well, though. Two best friends fall out over a bland nice boy, although there are some deeper themes below the obvious hook. While I appreciated the contrasting personalities of Robin and her best friend and some very realistic portrayals of competition between them (both overt and covert), the characters were not as fully realized as I would like for this level of story and the redemption of Robin felt far-fetched (although I did appreciate Robin's struggle with her desire to get revenge when the tables turned). *Originally read in 1990. Reread in 2015.
