A review by michieknee
Pies & Prejudice by Heather Vogel Frederick
3.0
The Mother Daughter Book Club is an enjoyable series to read but I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting a little too old for them. Now, I like reading Young Reader novels. There's plenty of them out there that are on par or even better than the novels in the YA section.
Though the characters in the MDBC series have aged from sixth(?) graders to freshman in high school it sometimes feels to me as if they haven't truly grown. They seem to act and think exactly the same way they did in the first book of the series. I don't know, maybe I'm just looking for these novels to be a little more than what they are.
Heather Vogel Frederick's writing sometimes feels a little bland to me in places. None of the characters seem to really pop out of the pages. The switching of POV's is finally beginning to lose its shine on me. It's nice to get in the heads of all four characters but at the same time it seems like a large part of the story is flying by.
I really do like this series. I've come to some kind of attachment with these characters and want to continue to follow into their lives as long as Miss Frederick allows us to.
