In this book, Claudia struggles with several issues: Should she tell her friends that she's dating Alan- and liking it? What will they say? Which side of Alan does she prefer- the old, goofy Alan, or the new ultra-serious one? Can she accept her relationship with Alan? And will working at the library alongside her mother bring them closer together or push them further apart?
There is also a surprising break in Erica Blumberg's search for her birth parents. I am glad that other characters are being explored in this series, particularly Erica, Rachel Griffin, and Cary Retlin.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. While I wouldn't say it's the best one in the series, it is definitely worth a read. And I can't wait for the next edition- Graduation Day!
