Brought back so many great memories!I chose the five star rating because it is easy reading and I could relate to the story back then and all these years later I can still relate to how the author conveyed the trials and tribulations of the twins!I would definitely recommend this this story as well as the series to anyone.Way to go Amazon!!

I think this is a great book!It was very cute and I rate it 5 stars! I am in love with these book and I just want to read them all!I am going on to book 5 and I am so excited to read it!

Jessica has started a new club at school called the Beauties, a group that will beautify the area with community service such as flowers. Jessica wants to fill the group with popular, pretty girls from the school. So when Robin is interested in joining the group, Jessica is not happy. Robin is slightly overweight and not one of the popular students.Jessica comes up with crazy ideas that Robin must pass in order for her to be eligible to join the club. Elizabeth is determined that Robin get to join the club, so she helps Robin pass the tests (which Jessica is not aware of.)It was a fun story. In the end, Robin doesn't care to be in the group and seems smarter and to have moved on. Robin is also taking better care of herself at the end of the novel and has an amazing transformation. She's running, has a personal trainer, and she mentioned her mom being behind her and that there is also a nutritionist. This doesn't sound like a crash diet, just her eating healthier and starting to exercise, that's a good thing.I'm pretty sure I read this one years ago when I was younger. The author must have gone back and edited it a few years back when it was republished, because when I read it, no one would have been sending emails back and forth.

I really enjoyed this book and recommend this book for teens and pre-teens.

Interesting, great, hooks you. I don't think Jessica should get hooked up with anyone quite yet.... i recommend this book to any girl or boy!!!!!!!

I grew up reading these books and I was always on Elizabeth's side. She's the good one and Jessica was a manipulative, brat. As I'm rereading these books, I realize why people don't like Elizabeth. Can that girl be anymore of a pushover? "Oh, I'll never tell on Jess because she is my BFF and my twin." I am gagging here, grow some freaking balls. I know Jessica is your twin and all, but she accused Todd of almost raping her in the first book. Can you say sociopath? It was kinda funny to see that they took out the part where they describe the twins as a perfect size 6 because you know at 5'6 nowadays, they'd be perfect size 2's. I disgusted with myself because I can't stop reading them. What happened to Todd? In his late 20 somethings he seemed to have lost his personality. I liked the snarky comments he made about Jessica. I'm annoyed with myself and I am so annoyed with the Wakefield twins. Well back to reading, maybe Buffy or Katniss will make an appearance and Buffy can stake Elizabeth then Katniss can shoot Jessica with an arrow. One can dream.

I LIKED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH!
