review 1: Speed reading still...Of all the books in the series, while this one might have been the strongest writing, it's all the one I liked least and has finally convinced me that if any more come out, I'm ignoring them.I just...don't like Tracey. She's...never happy. She's one of those people that no matter what she gets out of life, it's not enough. She pushes for things and the second she gets them, it's not enough and she wants something different. She got the dream house and suddenly was entirely miserable and wanted to move back to the city or even more insane move back to her hometown because she was suddenly randomly nostalgic out of the blue.Which I really didn't understand at all. She was building her own life and then...bam.Yet again, she just mainly came off as whiny ... moreand angry and a million other things that just made me want to tell her to shut up. I'm her age and I'd love to be in the place she is and she just seemed so freaking miserable.And the one thing she had a right to be upset about never seemed to bother her...losing her job.Also I felt like the end was rushed. One second she's crying about living in the suburbs, the next it jumps to later in the year and she was suddenly happy as hell, had friends and was building a life but we didn't actually see any of that. Which seemed to be something that one would think had some importance to the story but apparently not.Oh and the road trip? What the hell was the point of that?Honestly, I still want to like the series. I might even check out some other books from the writer because I see a lot I like...just...not the main character.
review 2: This is seriously THE BEST SERIES I have ever read! I highly recommend it to everyone! I love the characters, especially Tracey. I could relate to her on so many levels it was scary, at some points I was convinced author Wendy Markham had somehow gotten into my brain and wrote about my life! I breezed through the book and was eager to start the next, and the next - by the time Suburban ended I was so sad to have to say goodbye to the storyline and characters! I still say there needs to be a final book Slightly Parents or Slightly Pregnant ... so far no luck!!! :-) less
