STACEY'S DIFFERENT... AND IT'S HARDER ON HER THAN ANYONE KNOWS
Welcome to the discussion post for week three! Don't panic if you haven't finished The Truth About Stacey yet - we're all in different time zones, so things will be a little bit staggered. The post doesn't have an expiry date on it, so just comment whenever you're ready.
This is the post to discuss your reading of The Truth About Stacey.
What was your favourite part? What was your least favourite part? Any memorable quotes you'd like to share? What had you forgotten about since the last time this book was read? If someone wrote a fic set during the timeline of this fic, what should they write?
There are no mandatory questions or points of discussion for this - anything you want to talk about in relation to this week's book, go ahead!
Next week's book is BSC #4 - Mary Anne Saves the Day.
It is super sweet thinking of how the Thomas/Spier/Kishi families were probably all there for each other due to having babies around the same time. And yeah, Mary-Anne was September, Claudia was July and Kristy was August (of course she's a Leo, could she be anything else?). And all four girls were born at night!
Stacey keeping quiet about her diabetes is so sad and is probably one of the few times she acts like a legit teenager. Laine was always a character that I never thought much of even before book #50 happened. She was just Stacey's New York best friend and that was it.
I've always wondered how big the kid kits were supposed to be too! I think it was the the TV show that had them as a medium sized cardboard box, and that makes more sense than them being a shoe box or something.
Kristy crying about the agency pops up again in a later as one of the few times that they ever saw her cry (it might have been a book narrated by Claudia or Mary Anne because I think they also referenced her dad leaving which the other girls wouldn't have seen).
I did love how Stacey took initiative and had Dr. Johanssen help her find a way to tell her parents that she didn't want to see that holistic doctor and just wanted to see her own doctor. That was pretty savvy for a 12 year old! Must be that sophisticated personality of hers.
Yeah, for kid kits I got into the habit of imagining shoe boxes but would then get annoyed at their TARDIS-like properties. The graphic novel for this book includes the scene where they decorate them (it's adorable <3), and it has them using document box type things, with lids and hand holes and dimensions like this. Which makes way more sense! I can't remember what the tv show did, but I guess it was something similar?
