the best friends you’ll never have

I have a file on my computer where I paste funny quotes from the books. Here’s one from Mary Anne and Too Many Boys:

We all walked down to the water’s edge, and I noticed that Stacey and Toby never took their eyes off each other. Stacey seemed thrilled to see Toby again, but I reminded myself that she had acted exactly the same way around Pierre, a boy we met at a ski lodge. And there’d been Scott, the Sea City lifeguard, too. Toby was at the top of the list for the moment, but who knew if it would last?

Yes, MA basically calls Stacey a slut here, despite the fact that MA herself forgot she was going out with Logan when she saw Alex! Why are you so judgmental, Spier? Stacey’s a free agent and can ogle as many boys as she wants!

Ha! Interesting because I was just reading Stacey and the Mystery at the Empty House, and Stacey has kind of a judgmental moment as well. She mentions the time MA “was using babysitting time to entertain her boyfriend” and “we were all kind of ticked off at Mary Anne.” She even says in her narration “Bad move, Mary Anne.” Not long after, Stacey will ignore Jamie Newton’s barfing rampage to entertain HER boyfriend.

LOL, bbb, the post is right. So what if Stacey is going out with 500 boys? What’s she gonna do? Mary Anne’s not Stace’s mom.

i think mary anne might be envious of stacey
since stacey’s parents let her do a lot of things
and doesnt have to ask her dad
or anyone to go out somewhere
and didnt have to wait until she is twelve to pick out her clothes
and do other things she now gets to do
and because mary anne is on the shy
quiet side
while stacey is on the wild
sophisticated side
so yeah
that could probably be why
