(Can you believe we've gone through roughly two-thirds of the series already?)

This is an interesting book in that Jake's not there - obviously. But what makes it interesting is that Applegate explores how all of the members of this group affect each other and how vital they all are

Arguably Jake is "most" important, being the leader, but it holds true for all of them. And seeing someone try to take over a role they're just not suited for is both fascinating and slightly uncomfortable

What do you think of Rachel's plans during her stint as leader? Good ideas entirely, bad ideas entirely, or good ideas with bad execution?

We'll see you on Friday for a full book discussion!
