3.0

Like the first book, there was a section in this one that dragged for me, but I zoomed through the last 100 or so pages. 

I understand that it's the point of the character, but it's still unpleasant to read Rebecca making the same mistakes she did in the first book. I get second-hand anxiety reading about her spending and the way she thinks about shopping, which is why the beginning and especially the middle of this book were rough for me. Rebecca definitely has a problem, but she's working on it and ends up better and better off by the end of each book. 

I really did like those last 100 pages so this is 3 stars instead of 2. Once again looking forward to the next one. The end of this book sees Rebecca
living in NYC in January of 2001
, so I'm curious to see how the author will decide to handle
9/11
in the next book (or maybe the fourth book as I don't know when the next book will be set).
