From Booklist:

The three Darling friends may be at different schools, pursuing their own interests, but they are still there for one another when it counts. Natalya’s crush on Colin might actually develop into something more, if she is reading his signals right. Victoria’s relationship with Jack seems steady, but his involvement in a band means he’s around an old girlfriend. Jane gets pushed by Mark to be in his cast of Medea, opposite the gorgeous Simon—only Simon isn’t sure if he is straight. The plot strategy of following one girl for a chapter, then switching to another girl with the next chapter, moves this sequel to The Darlings Are Forever (2011) along at a breakneck pace. The three girls are multidimensional (albeit sometimes shallow) and realistically drawn. Girls will see parts of themselves in at least one character. Fans of the Gossip Girl and Princess Diaries series will want more escapades. Grades 7-10. --Melissa Moore
