These will be so short as to bring the lie to the term 'book review'. Apologies!

Bad Girls In Love, by Cynthia Voigt.

Good, but not her best. Idk - maybe it's just the kind of person I am, but I really really prefer Cynthia Voigt's Super Earnest Novels on Deep, Important Social Issues to her other ones - which is not to say that Mikey & Margalo weren't delightful, it just wasn't quite funny enough to make up for what I'd really prefer to read in a ♥Cynthia Voigt♥ novel?

Go Jump In The Pool,
Beware The Fish,
The War With Mr Wizzle,
The Zucchini Warriors,
Macdonald Hall Goes Hollywood,
Something Fishy At Macdonald Hall
A Semester In The Life of A Garbage Bag,
Don't Care High,
I Want To Go Home,
Son of Interflux, &
Who Is Bugs Potter?, by Gordon Korman.

( A list of things I have to say about the Korman novels: )

Izzy, Willy-Nilly, by Cynthia Voigt.

"Izzy's life had been colorful as a pretty, popular cheerleader, but grayness swallows her up after a car accident results in the amputation of her leg. Her trio of girlfriends are too uncomfortable to be around her, but the void of their friendship is filled by unattractive, blunt Rosamunde, who bounds into her life, providing bolstering support. It's Rosamunde's persistence that helps Izzy over the hurdle of returning to school."

AWESOME. Rosamunde = my favourite, Cynthia Voigt's worldview = the very definition of empathy and intersectionality. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
