[[AC:The series comprises of:]]
* ''What a Week to Break Free''
* ''What a Week to Fall in Love''
* ''What a Week to Make it Big''
* ''What a Week to Make a Stand''
* ''What a Week to Play It Cool''
* ''What a Week to Make a Move''
* ''What a Week to Take a Chance''
* ''What a Week to Get Real''
* ''What a Week to Risk it All''
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: As usual, like in all the Rosie Rushton books. Holly, Tansy, and Cleo are very embarrassed by their parents. Jade is not but only because she's an orphan.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Holly is whiny, boy-crazy, and selfish, although she's still less bratty than the girls from the ''Literature/LeehamptonSeries''.
* ButtMonkey: Holly, despite being seemingly the most confident of the group, tends to get the short end of the stick in most situations, mainly because she tries too hard. She also has bad luck with boys for most of the series, while all her friends have no problem attracting guys.
* {{Expy}}:
** Cleo is one of Jemma from the ''Literature/LeehamptonSeries'', an overweight, insecure but secretly talented girl who unexpectedly attracts a hot guy.
** Holly is one of Chelsea from the ''Literature/LeehamptonSeries'', as the pretty, confident, boy-cazy girl. Like Chelsea, she also suffers a lot of bad luck.
** Tansy resembles post-CharacterDevelopment Sinéad from ''Literature/BestFriends''.
* FourGirlEnsemble: Holly is the pretty one, Tansy is the DeadpanSnarker, Cleo is the naive one, and Jade is the admirable one.
* HateSink: Henry, Clarity's fiancé from ''What a Week to Make a Move''. He's immediately described as ugly, old, fat, weird, gross, obnoxious, ridiculous, and unlikable in every way possible. And PlotTwist? He also turns out to be secretly evil and the main villain of the book. And that's not the first time where a Rosie Rushton book features [[Literature/LeehamptonSeries a horrible character named Henry]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Jade's cousin Allegra is absolutely awful in the beginning. She cruelly mocks Jade ''for having deceased parents'' and insults her because she keeps a picture of her parents in her bedroom. She eventually TookALevelInKindness and becomes nicer to Jade.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the ''Literature/LeehamptonSeries'', at least. The four main girls of Leehampton often go into UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist territory, while the main girls here are flawed and prone to make mistakes, but rarely outright mean, since most {{Jerkass}}es are secondary characters.
* ParentalIssues: All of them except Holly.
** Tansy never met her father.
** Cleo has divorced parents.
** Jade lost her parents in a car accident.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Tansy is very smart and rational, her mum Clarity is spacey and ditzy.
