I now christen Cyd Charisse as one of my favorite characters in YA history. (You may think that's weird, given that this is only the first book in the series and I already love her but the weirder thing is that I've already read the sequels Shrimp and Cupcake way before so it's not really a surprise.) She's bad-ass but not stupid, and always A LOT OF FUN to read. I like that she maintains the attitude of standing by what she believes in, irregardless of its right-ness/wrong-ness. (For instances, she likes p.o. Nancy, her mom who tries to control her life, and consistently does so.) She is also not at all afraid to be herself. And that's what I think is the strongest ~attribute of this series, because there is no hypocrisy, just all-out truth. It's like witnessing a real-life teenage girl (or looking at my self!), dealing with life, love, and well, lust.
