Alice learns more about her sexuality in a wholesome way; Pamela learns more about her sexuality in an unwholesome way. Alice dates Sam, who she finds sweet and attractive, but his constant presence begins to wear thin. Pamela has more issues with her mother, who is a bit pathetic, but is trying. Liz takes the backseat for this volume. Not much story around her. There is a school trip to New York City, where some rules are not merely broken, but shattered absolutely. And Alice tries to get her driver's license.
An in-between volume. Not the one of the best in the series, as it seems to lack a good focus. Lots of sub plots, but no overarching main plot. But it's not the weakest either. ( )

It was nice for her to go to the grils wedding and also i was glad that she got to get her drivers licen and can now drive but it was sad she broke up with sam. ( )
