review 1: In How To Rock Break-Ups and Make-ups Kacey joined a band. From the previous book she had met a guy named Zander. Molly had been with Zander but had recently broke up with him. As Kacey is in the band she begins to like Zander more and more. He soon tells her that he has a surprise for her. When he gives her the surprise a girl walks up next to him. The surprise had been Stevie. Kacey had noticed that she didn't like the girl. When Stevie came to school she had been rude to Molly and Kacey. She had left them confused and angry. They decide to get revenge on her because they don't like the way she just comes from a different town and is already trying to rule the school. Not only did a new girl come to school but Kacey's mom begins dating a new guy. Kacey's mom hadn't be... moreen dating in a long time so Kacey is happy for her mom but is also worried about her. Kacey soon finds out that this man is Stevie's father. Stevie and Kacey work together to help breakup their parent's relationship. Their plan works however, Kacey and Stevie realize that their parent's really did love each other and are taking the breakup badly. They decide to get them back together by planning another event. Also, in the process of the events she gets Zander and her old friend Paige mad at her. I loved this sequel from How To Rock Break-Ups and Make-Ups. It had connected to the beginning book but also if you didn't read the beginning book you're not completely lost. However, it does connect the topics. I would give this book a four because the events were very predictable and the outcome was also predictable. On the other hand, there were some parts that were very unpredictable so it was a good mix. In this book the characters were very developed as well and by adding a new character it made the book more exciting.
review 2: Kacey is back and her whiny, self-involved voice is as shrill as ever. Even though she’s turned over a new leaf from being overly critical to cautiously optimistic, she’s still rather self-involved. Of course, that’s nothing compared to her friend Molly who acts so aggressively threatening, self-important and illogical, you wonder how Kacey or anybody can stand to be in her company. Molly is also a stern advocate of the Girl Code, which is such an awful bit of double standard you don’t know whether to laugh or groan.Zander comes off as such a saint to the fretful Kacey; it’s baffling that he would want her as a girlfriend. Time and again, she blows him off, misleads him, lies to him or behaves with thoughtless selfishness. To be fair, Kacey is a teenager and teenagers are supposed to be self-indulgent—to a point. Also, her ghastly mistakes eventually catch up to her and she deals with them with a surprising amount of humility and the determination to make amends. The author remains true to the various voices of her characters and the situations ring true with the brittleness of awkward conversations, the cluelessness of boys who just don’t get girls (or even know when a situation has reached the boiling point) or the unbridgeable gap between children and their (old) parents. This is a good follow-up to the original novel but is definitely made to appeal to the youth crowd. less
