From School Library Journal
Gr 7-10-Two series paperbacks first published in the U.K. in 1995. Book one introduces the "Fab 5": Chelsea, whose mother is a radio "Dear Abby" type; Laura, an overly dramatic budding writer; Jemma, who is new in town and has a mother who can't quite clip the apron strings; Jon, an aspiring artist whose overbearing father has other plans for his career; and Sumitha, a beautiful girl with a strict and traditional Bengali father. This title centers primarily on the teens' subterfuge in escaping to The Stomping Ground, a favorite disco. Will they make it? Will Sumitha's parents find out that they lied? Will the girls get the boyfriends that they want? Will Jemma's mother ever stop calling her "Petal"? So it goes. There is not a lot of depth in this novel, but the plot does move quickly. The next installment is not as lighthearted. Laura's mother is about to have a baby with her "geek" boyfriend. Sumitha falls in love with Bilu, a proper Bengali boy, which pleases her father tremendously. Unfortunately, he is a phony and a cad. Late-bloomer Jemma finally gets a boyfriend-and subsequently dumps him-while spiraling downward into anorexia. Jon fears that his mother is having an affair. The books are typical series fare, and the dialogue-which is full of British slang-seems forced and unnatural. The plots are decent, but not terribly engaging.-Roxanne Burg, Thousand Oaks Library, CA
