I remember being so excited when this book came out. Its so fun and I liked how this book and the next book split the year in half so we got more details. I really liked how in the end the girls really worked through there residual issues from middle school. I think it made the addition of Becca in the group feel really complete.

This books is a fantastic Christmas read! It follows the Mother Daughter Book Club girls and their families from Thanksgiving to New Years. I liked the focus on the holidays, and I think it is a must-read for mega fans of the series.

Ehhhh didn't really want the Becca perspective, she should have been more snarky. Her internal does seem to match her actions. She isn't a nice person its been shown time and time again.

Cute with the skimmings of teen drama even the big issue of someone's dad losing his job didn't exactly impact anything. She didn't have to cut back she didn't have to sacrifice she didn't even have to wear hand me downs which would have been perfect literary irony.

Another nicely wrapped bow on top for everyone again. Happy this series is in the final stages.

they spell "becca" as "becka" and it literally made me lose my mind when I found out bc I've been listening to the audiobooks. that's so evil. anyway, I disliked the drama in this one. sorry, I don't believe jess and emma would have that fight. they may be 15, but they're also not stupid ykwim. also I can't distinguish the narrators between each other. I'm still surprised there's more than one

I love these books. If I had a daughter at the right reading age for the mother daughter book club these would surely be on her shelf!
