The Last Little Blue Envelope

Average rating3.6
Maureen Johnson is incredibly hit or miss for me, and this one ended up being a miss. Neither of the boys were at all worth the angst and Ellis had no personality or characterization at all. Not a fan.

Aww, so fun! I think I liked this more than the first one. I liked seeing a slightly more grown-up Ginny. I liked the European adventure. And I'm soo glad we got to read the last letter!
1 1/2 stars, due to language, cruelty, pranks, drinking, smoking, blackmail, & other unpleasantness.
Maybe 2.5. I didn't like it nearly as much as the first book. I was disappointed. The journey wasn't as fun, it was so awkward most of the time. And even though I appreciate the realsticness of the whole Ginny-Keith thing, I was so bummed for Ginny.
But the painting itself was a cool thing, and that her aunt again encouraged Ginny to do things she didn't realize she was capable of. Plus they had some really unique experiences!!
