#76 Stacey's Lie

Dec 05, 2013 01:03

Hello, folks! I hope everybody (in America) had a good Thanksgiving. This book is called Stacey's Lie, but perhaps it ought to have been called Stacey is a Spoiled Brat and Her Parents Aren't Nice Either, Nor Are Her Friends. Though I don't think that would have fit on a BSC cover. It's also got some hilarious bawdy subtext that I can only hope is ( Read more... )

i hate stacey, amm is green behind the ears, ann hates poor people, fashion, bad parenting, daddy issues, stoneybrook lacks empathy, fanfic fodder for a later date, stonybrook lacks empathy, pedobear comes to stoneybrook, freaky fashion choices, rampant lesbianism, this will not end well, #76 stacey's lie, breaking the rules

Stacey adds that the change is fortuitous, because Sunday is Father's Day, and that way she'll be able to give him his present.
Maureen wonders aloud if that's the real reason Stacey's father changed dates.
Stacey wonders why her father wouldn't have just said that
Either because we all saw what happened last time or because the writers are all on crack. My money's on the latter.

her last day with Robert. They played ping-pong at the community center, and then went to craft fair, where she found a gift for her father. Then they had lunch and exchanged "the most wonderful kiss."
I've got to stop skim-reading. I saw this:
her father. Then they had lunch and exchanged "the most wonderful kiss."
And for a moment thought there was some incest going on.

Stacey's father pulls out his wallet and says "How would you like to go out and buy yourself a pretty, summery something to wear to dinner tonight? I'll take you to the Lion's Lair."
Oh God, I was JOKING!

Ed has the stones to remark that he's glad Robert will be gone for the summer-- perhaps Stacey will meet someone she likes even more!
This isn't the only book where Ed has explicitly told Stacey to date somebody else - not do other things besides hang out with her boyfriend, specifically date a different boy. And that comment before makes me wonder just why he keeps saying "Hey hey you you, I don't like your boyfriend, no way no way, I think you need a new one..."

Stacey has shrimp cocktail
I don't care if this book was written long before Prop 8: The Musical. I'm still counting this as more gay subtext.

Claud doesn't want Stace's boyfriend hogging her there, and somehow this got past the editors of a wholesome Scholastic book.
HAHAHA.

And then I laugh again, at the thought of Scholastic having editors.
My night has been made.
