Ducky: Diary 2 by Ann M. Martin, Peter Lerangis
4.0
The thing that always made me sad about this particular series is that we never got far enough to find out definitively that Ducky is gay. I mean, it's pretty obvious and constantly hinted at, but it was never confirmed. I always thought it would be amazing to have an out (or at least known) queer character in the extended BSC universe, but it never happened. So, alas, we will just always have to take what we were given!
This one was a bit of a let down though, as much as I adore the character (hence the four star rating). It was sort of a rehash of his first book, and revolved primarily around Alex's depression and eventual suicide attempt. Which is pretty much the same as diary one, although this one did introduce us to the McCrae parents.
Who, honestly, may be the worst parents in this weird universe and that really says something because Sharon Shafer-Spier exists. They just abandoned their 16 year old with his college aged brother to go off to another country and just think that's acceptable.
The hell, McCrae parentals?
