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.

ngl, I wanted to smack the McGills so hard reading this book. My older brother and I both had diabetes - I was diagnosed less than ten years after this book came out, so the medical tech and knowledge hadn't changed that much - and their reactions were so unhelpful. I get that your child being diagnosed with a chronic condition is scary, but think how much scarier it is for the kid! And they just handled everything so badly. Of course, it's not helped by the fact that AMM doesn't seem to have done the sort of research you really need to do in order to write about something like diabetes.
