I kinda wish Kip had more to do here, and kind of wondered at Courtney apparently being the only friend to go visit Aaron in person when he was at home. From his surname, I'm guessing Kip is of Japanese descent, and his relatives likely experienced outward discrimination from WWII onwards (or contemporarily, given Vincent Chin's murder by racist autoworkers in 1982) so he absolutely could've been another friend empathizing with Aaron's experiences.
The product placement was cute but I thought it was funny that Courtney's dad just... gives her a Christmas present months early because her books ditched the classic school year format in favor of being from January through fall of 1986. I do agree with Sarah though- I was fascinated by Kirsten's lunch pail in the catalog! (growing up, I got the catalog to look through but like Courtney's mom, my parents thought the dolls were too expensive).
In terms of impactful education about a decade, I liked the Courtney books more than MaryEllen even if I still find it horrifying to tag 1986 as historical fiction. Courtney's books show the impacts of divorce more strongly than Julie's (again, it really was a missed opportunity to center Ivy as a main historical character but that's my forever AG soapbox).
Dreading the inevitable '90s which will be siiiiiiiiick (rise of Saturday morning cartoons? I dunno mattel, tell me what you're going to zoom in on)… (meer)
