Momentous Events in the Life of a Cactus

Loved the first one, so was eager to jump back into Aven's world, this time as she enters high school and has to deal with big bullies, big crushes, big losses, and big questions about who she wants to be. This one definitely had a slightly older feel, with more early high-school emotions and that thing that High School Allie did too, which was start every blog post (or in this case, chapter heading) with song lyrics, and there was a thing about that I didn't particularly like Kids from Alcatraz ended up being the punk band the friends created at the end of the book. But in general, I still enjoyed this book and listened to the whole thing in one day, and it was great.
