[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who read them as Tweens or teens, did you think they were romantic?[/quote]

Romantic, no. Scandalous, yes. I read all four numerous times.

The only part I thought was even slightly romantic was when Cathy gets together with the other ballerina (but if I recall correctly, he turned out to be a bit of a jerk. Not sure - its been about 25 years since meddle school when I read them). When she went after her mother's husband there was a lot of steamy sex. I thought it was a little weird b/c it was her stepfather and he was older, but I also thought they were a good match - both a bit devious and scheming. All the incest stuff with Chris was just gross. I think it was the fourth book when they got together "for good" and I only read that one twice. It was just disturbing. The other three I prob read ten or fifteen times each. I was really into all the revenge/betrayal stuff with the mom and grandmother, and the idea of the kids making it in the world on their own.

It has been at least 25 years since I even thought about those books. I DVRd the movie last night and Can't wait to watch! Hoping it's as campy as I remember![/quote]
