The Truth About Stacey by Raina Telgemeier, Ann M. Martin
4.0
KkI didn't give this one five stars because I really didn't like the ending, or the way the parents element was handled. I felt like the behavior of the parents (aka doctor hopping) wasn't really handled well. Yes, it got solved in the end, but I do wish Stacey had said more about how this makes her feel, and had stood up to her parents more.
I do understand that this book was written WAY before certain tragedies, and that things in the time period of this book were WAY different. So I am looking at this through a modern lense, like I do with a lot of these books, and while I love all of the graphic novel adaptions (or at least the ones I've read so far) of the baby sitters club, I do have one criticism, I feel like sometimes the hurtful behavior of the parents isn't properly called out. That's just my opinion though, other than that the series is a wonderful read.
