5.0 out of 5 stars A book that you want to read again and again!, December 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mary Anne's Big Breakup (Baby-Sitters Club Friends Forever) (Paperback)

This book was one of my favorites in the BSC Friends Forever Series. First of all, it was very well written. It was so realistic that I even thought for a moment that Mary Anne and Logan were real people! It was such a good book. Keep up the great job, Ms. Martin!

Everyone thinks Mary Anne and Logan are the perfect couple. Everyone except Mary Anne. Logan's definitely a great guy. But lately things have been weird between the two of them. Mary Anne wants a change...even if it hurts. It's the end of Mary-Anne-and-Logan. And it's the beginning of the new Mary Anne.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mary Anne Breaks Up With Logan, July 29, 2003

By 

Theatre Kidd "princessofmirkwood" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mary Anne's Big Breakup (Baby-Sitters Club Friends Forever) (Paperback)

Mary Anne breaks up with Logan (for good this time)! The way she went about it wasn't that great, in my opinion (she made poor Logan cry), but what she did was totally right. (It was the SAME reason again- he was smothering her and making all the decisions.)

Anyhow- the main points of the book are:

1) she breaks up with Logan
2) she starts getting over the fire a little bit
3) her family starts to convert the barn to a new house
4) 2(!) boys ask her out, not including Logan
5) much of the grade excludes her
6) and she decides to be her own self!

All in all- a HUGE turning point in the BSC, and a WONDERFUL book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Mary Anne!, September 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mary Anne's Big Breakup (Baby-Sitters Club Friends Forever) (Paperback)

In Friends Forever #3, Mary Anne FINALLY breaks up with Logan her steady boyfriend.

I really think Ann M. Martin is doing a wonderful job with this new series. The events (especially this one) are realistic, and that means that teens can relate to the chariters more. Mary Anne did the right thing by breaking up with Logan. I thought that throughout the old series he was becoming sexiest and (allthough he ment well) a little controling. His father striked me the same way.

Mary Anne, although shy, is her own person and a very strong young woman. Good for you Mary Anne! Can't wait for #4!
