Chicks With Sticks (Knit Two Together) by Elizabeth Lenhard

The Chicks with Sticks return! Their friendship is still going strong despite the obstacles faced during the last year. This year, the friends will face a new obstacle and source of drama in their friendship- boys! Tay and Amanda have committed relationships while Bella has sworn off boys and Scottie dreams of a boyfriend of her own. The Chicks boy-drama add tension to their friendship and the girls soon find themselves at odds. The teen angst and drama in this book is off the charts (though realistic). I did not enjoy this installment as much as the previous one- I found it was harder to get into and had a little too much teen drama. Scottie's narration frustrated me and I felt the story focused too much on her desire to obtain a boyfriend (her boy drama seemed very middle school, as opposed to the boy drama of Tay and Amanda). A disappointing sequel, but the book will still have its audience among knitting fans.
