This book reminded my a little of the Fabulous Five's "The Boyfriend Dilemma." In it Abby's not interested in dating, but some of the other kids are not very understanding. Even some of the BSC members lapse a little here. But I was glad that Abby didn't cave in to the pressure and that finally her friends came around and supported her, even Claudia & Mary Anne, who have boyfriends(when are Mary Anne & Logan going to break up-they're mismatched & it would be so stupid if they stuck together much longer). In "The Boyfriend Dilemma", Christie's friends weren't very supportive of Christie's desire not to date. I liked the ending where Kristy & Abby go to a movie together instead of the dance. I also like how all the members of the BSC put priority on their friendship, even when they have boyfriends. I loved the message that you don't need a date to have a good time. Also kind of cute & funny that Abby wound up winning a heart-shaped box of candy(and turned red over it!) The one thing that was missing from this book...Mallory! I hope she comes back soon; the club's not the same without her.

This was a great book! In it Abby really dislikes Valentines day, and will stop at nothing to not get involved! Will she soften up? Will her switch work? What will happen? Find out in this great book!

Yup, we've all read how moralistic this book is and how if Abby isn't ready for a realationship, then all the more power to her! I agree wholeheartidly but this story is like bones with no meat. It lacks depth and, well, OOPH. You know what I mean, I assume. It is like Anne wrote it in a few minutes, and then ran off to her publisher to get the book published. I love the BSC books, I have been an avid reader from the very start. But it is getting very clear to me that all the new BSC books are getting flowery and kind of, well, stupid. I think it's time to move on to a new series! :)

Abby's Un-Valentine was okay, but not that great. First of all, Kristy and Abby are 13, and they don't seem to have a mature interest in guys. That's kind of unrealistic, but that's not really the reason I didn't favor the book. The plot is sort of boring. It might be a good subplot, but not a real plot. It dragged, and it was pretty tedious to say the least. I really don't suggest you read this book.

I loved the way abby didn't let anyone push her into doing something she didnt want to do.I think the bsc need to just let her be.stacey was wrong to give ross ideas on how to ask abby on a date.my favorite part was when ross confused abby & anna.

Abby mostly hates Valentine's Day, except for the fact that it happens in winter, so her allergies usually aren't acting up. She also likes the chocolate and candy part. Ross, a guy from Abby's English class, asks her to the SMS Valentine's Day dance. Abby turns him down and explains that she isn't into all the Valentine hype. However, Ross keeps trying to change Abby's mind and won't give up. All of the BSC members (except Kristy) can't understand why Abby doesn't want to date and is happy by herself. Abby plots to set her twin, Anna, up with Ross. I think this book is somewhat unrealistic in the fact that Abby and Kristy have an "Ew! Boys!" attitude. By eighth grade, most girls are ready to date. At least in the California Diaries series, the girls are interested in guys and date. But it was cool that Abby followed her own instincts and didn't go out with Ross. A sad part of the book occurs when the Thomas family has to give Scout back to the leader dog foundation when her training period up. Overall, this was a good BSC book, but not one of my favorites.

This was a pretty good book considering disasters like Kristy in Charge. I liked how it showed that not everyone's ready to date at the same time. When I was thirteen I wasn't ready to date just like Abby and Kristy. Now I'm fourteen and feel comfortable with it. Abby could have told Ross no a little nicer instead of being rude. It also shows that twins do diffrent things at diffrent times. Anna was ready to date. Abby wasn't. So overall I enjoyed this book.

Abby's Unvalentine shows that Abby isn't ready to have a relationship yet. It teaches us to take oour time, if we don't want to do it. Don't. You probably are not ready for it.

Abby gets a lot of Valentine notes. It happened when she was not ready for a date. She asked Anna if she did it but she said no. In this book, Aby was acting real snobbish.
