The Universe Is Expanding and So Am I by Carolyn Mackler

4.0

I enjoyed this series, but the second book came out 15 years after the first (which is fine) and is supposed to take place in the same school year, but they are not written that way. In the first novel, Virginia has to rely on emails and landline calls to communicate with her friends (because it’s circa 2003) and is watching TRL on MTV, but in the sequel, which begins a couple months after the first book wraps, she’s got a smartphone and is using hashtags. I didn’t see the need for this. It would have been a better read if there had been more continuity in the timeline.
