* SympatheticPOV: ''Averted''. Though this book is ostensibly a look inside Rachel's head and her perspective on things that happened in ''Just As Long As We're Together'' as well as the present storyline, Rachel really comes across like a condescending jerk, particularly to her "friends". She constantly belittles Stephanie and Alison, scornfully commenting on how gullible the former is and how "dense" the latter is, refuses to participate in their conversations but then complains when they talk to each other instead of her, conveniently forgets the hurtful remarks she made to both Stephanie and Alison during their big fight in the first book and just generally talks down to her peers (except Jeremy) consistently.
