Review: The Secrets of Peaches

The Secrets of Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Genre: Young adult
Pages: 297
Rating: 4

This was that rare case: a sequel I liked slightly better than its predecessor. In most ways, The Secrets of Peaches is like Peaches - same characters, same tone, etc. As I mentioned in my review of Peaches, though, I got annoyed with the first book because it was so obvious that the characters were going to become friends, but they still took so horribly long to get there. The second book was more readable because the friendship was already established. I also liked that Anderson had the girls facing a mix of the issues from the first book as well as some new conflicts. The Secrets of Peaches was fun and both light and heartwarming at the same time; I look forward to seeing what Anderson does next.
