Those of us who are older (much) and wiser (!?) will see this as a light, entertaining little number with a good nose for the commercial, whilst those for whom it is intended (readers of teen mags) will take it to their emergent bosoms as here, now, is life as it really is, and as their mags tell them it should be. This is picture stories given the respectability of a novel and why not? My testers loved it - they'd heard about it from their mags. The main problem in Lexie's life is how to get better acquainted with Laurie Clark and not die a thousand deaths per hour through embarrassment. And alongside this, there's the move in with a totally inefficient (but wiser than he seems) dad, who knows his daughters better than they imagine.
