3.0
Oh, 90s YA series. It's about what you'd expect, with All the Issues packed into one slim volume. It's unsurprisingly outdated* (one girl is basically treated as a juvenile delinquent because she apparently snuck out in Book 1), but with some more complicated themes than you necessarily get in this sort of book: a girl thinking about sleeping with her boyfriend (without black-and-white morality applied by the book), characters who make out with each other without commitment or either of them being 'bad'... The main conflict in the book (a character developing anorexia in pursuit of the 'ideal' ballet body) is pretty par for the course, and I can't be bothered to hunt down any of the other books in the series, but all things considered it could have done much worse.
*Someday she'd get organized, but meanwhile, somewhere on this desk she'd put the number.
Finally she found it tacked safely on the bulletin board above her desk. He had jotted down a number he'd said was his own. Imagine having your very own number. Laverne envied him, then she dialed. (128–129)
