I read this series for the first time in middle school and decided to reread the first novel here on a whim after seeing some people talk about it. Since it was published in 1999, it's definitely a tad dated, but still full of girl power, sass, and music. I still think this is a great series for young readers!

It took me a while to finish this book because it was just too cheesy. I enjoyed this series as a kid, so that’s the only only reason I marked this as four stars and not three. I must’ve enjoyed the cheesiness of the book back then.

One thing I am annoyed about is that the movie series did not feature an all black girl group for The Cheetah Girls. I remember picking these books as a kid because I saw five girls that looked like me on the cover. I hope if they reboot the movie series they make it an all Black cast. They also need to include some of the Black culture & sayings that were omitted from the movie series.
