Very Funny, Elizabeth by Valerie Tripp

1.0

This book is wildly out of pocket. It's as if Val Tripp was trying to create a Jane Austen novel for children, and decided the best way to do that was to make it incredibly campy.

I'm baffled by the complete change in character Elizabeth has gone through, as if a dye job would change her entire personality as well. Once the reserved rule-follower, she has become more rambunctious and thoughtless than Felicity herself.

She even gaslights Felicity, telling her that the pranks she is pulling on Annabelle aren't harmful, but are instead meant to teach her a lesson. This couldn't be further from the truth. Also, the things she pulled while they had visitors should have wound up in some sort of punishment, but it seems as if there are no consequences for her actions.

Appallingly bad.
