Stars So Sweet by Tara Dairman
3.0
3.5 stars! A couple days ago, I read almost the entirety of the second book in this series on my phone while waiting for a concert to start (lol). The next day, when I finished the last bit of the book, I had to go straight to the next, since I wanted to see what would happen if Gladys came clean to her parents! Which, of course, did not happen right away, as she had planned. So, I had no choice but to read the entire book, naturally.
This was a cute series that I had a fun time reading. I'm sad this is the last book? I was so excited that in this book one of Gladys's friends had a baby gay crush on another friend?! This is the first time I've seen that in a middle grade book that wasn't specifically about LGBT issues. Unfortunately, the way it pans out leaves much to be resolved. (But even more disappointing: the fact that some reviewers I just saw elsewhere considered the inclusion of this crush to ruin the book. Yikes.)
