Loved this
I seem to be working my way through the YA section of the bookstore of late and this one stood apart from the pack. I started page one and didn't look around me until I'd finished.

A great sequel
I enjoyed this book as much as Dairy Queen. I really like the fact that D.J. is such a down to earth girl. You can't help but like her. She really makes you think about what is really important in life...like family and having a good character. I think Dairy Queen and The Off Season would be great books for every teenage girl to read.
