Shrimp

by Rachel Cohn

CC (Cyd Charisse) is back for her senior year. Shrimp’s still around, and Sid & Nancy have reached a peaceful living arrangement with CC. CC’s even made some friends: Helen and Autumn.

So, what’s the conflict in CC’s life now? She’s a senior, and her parents expect her to go to college. And she and Shrimp are “just friends” now. And Helen and Autumn are the first female friends she’s had in a very long time. And don’t forget her New York family: she’s concerned about her brother Danny and his recent break-up with Aaron.

Luckily, plenty of people are still looking out for CC: Fernando, Sugar Pie, and even Alexei the Horrible.

Not as good as Gingerbread, but still a worthy sequel.
