** The second book has a nasty example from the rest of the Hayes family: a festival is coming up, and everyone wants to go. Abby, who has spent several years taking Alex around the festival, declares that she doesn't want to take Alex and actually wants to do her own thing, like going places without being escorted by older siblings/parents, and not being Alex's automatic babysitter all the time. The response is not pretty: Abby's father tries to emotionally blackmail her by saying that they planned their time based on the assumption that she'd take care of Alex, and the twins are furious that they might actually have to take care of their brother for once. Alex is furious that Abby wants to have a life outside of him. Only Abby's mother finds this to be reasonable.

!!Tropes in these books include...
* AlphaBitch: Brianna and Victoria, although Brianna is more boastful and self-centered than outright mean. Natalie becomes this. Averted with Cleo, who's more of a LovableAlphaBitch.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted with Alex. Hannah's little sister is this in Hannah's eyes, but no one else thinks so.
* CatchPhrase: "Yay, Brianna!" used to be Bethany's.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Laurie, Abby's mother's old friend from college, proves to be this when she visits the Hayes family over summer.
* CoolBigSis: Abby has two of them, and Alex has three.
* CoolOldLady: Grandma Emma is this is Abby's eyes.
* GirlPosse: Bethany was a one-woman GirlPosse for Brianna.
* GranolaGirl: Laurie takes this to ridiculous extremes. Best summed up by Abby:
-->''Laurie is like a hamster. She nibbles on nuts and seeds all day long. She won't eat the food we serve.''
* ItsAllAboutMe: '''Brianna.'''
* LikeIsLikeAComma: Good lord, Victoria.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Comes into play in the fourth book when Eva and Isabel have new rollerblades, but Abby is stuck with wearing Eva's old pair because it doesn't fit Alex, who gets new ones as well.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Isabel and Eva.
* RedheadedHero
* RichBitch: Brianna, implied with Victoria.
* {{Tomboy}}: Eva. Jessica, formerly.
* TraumaticHaircut: Abby accidentally gives herself one, but Brianna [[PetTheDog offers her some of her hair gel to make it look better until it grows back.]]
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Mason to Abby.
* ValleyGirl: Maybe not ''literally'', but Victoria certainly talks like one.
