This is a sequel to Boys are Dogs. Annabelle, who was last seen using her new-found dog training skills to train the boys at her school, is now having trouble with the girls. She is caught in a war between her current group of BFFs and a group that includes the most popular girls in the school. Annabelle thinks she can be friends with both, and it backfires. But all is happy by the end. I liked the first one better. Now that Annabelle has tamed the dogs, she wants to train the cats: snobby mean girl Taylor and her posse. But, Taylor comes out nice and friendly toward Annabelle, even though Rachel has told her differently. So, Annabelle starts to convert to mean girl and makes a huge mistake. Then, Annabelle realizes that she has her own best friends from the beginning. This book was immature and really unrealistic. Girls are not taking their best friends out of the country on Spring Break! Especially 6th graders. At least, not at my school. Also, Annabelle said some things that were obvious and it made you feel like you were listening to a five year old who had time traveled forward and was in 6th grade, but she had no idea how to handle it. So the book ended up making the author sound like she was trying too hard to make the girls sound more grown up than they were.
