Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Game, Set, Match... Dylan? Dylan and her TV-host mom are off to Hawaii's Aloha Tennis Open. While Merri-Lee interviews tennis's wild child Svetlana 'Tennis the Menace' Slootskyia, Dylan lets the tropical sun melt away the memory of getting dumped by two guys at the end of seventh grade. But between avocado mud masks and poolside naps, she falls in love with a preppy, tennis- obsessed hawtie. Dylan soon realizes the only way to score a date with him is to master the game. Can she convince moody Svetlana to spill the secrets of her tennis success, or will she end up oh-for-three in summer love?

After reading Massie's summer book, I expected Dylan's to be a bit boring. However, I was pleasantly suprised! I loved Dylan's point of view and her sense of humor, and the storyline is good and unpredictable. I actually enjoyed it more than Massie's book! The only problem is that some parts of the story move a little too fast, but other than that it was ah-mazing!

As a huge fan of the Clique series, I was excited to read the second book of the summer collection. I must say, however, that I was disappointed. The book seems to be written quickly and lacked the solidness of Lisi Harrison's other books. There seemed to be some holes in the writing. The book was not a 'smooth read' as the other Clique books are.
I did like having the story written from Dylan's point of view. I truly enjoyed her perpesctive on many real-life issues faced by girls everywhere.
I end this review with a final questions- why isn't the girl on the cover a redheaded curly girl wearing bright colors? The girl on the cover is so not Dylan!!

After reading the very first Massie book in the collection, I didn't have high hopes for Dylan. But after reading it, I have to say it's a complete shame Lisi never included her perspective and point of view in the other books.
Reading Dylan's book is a refreshing change and yet comforting since it's familiar. Sure the fashion descriptions and jargon (ah-mazing) from the other books remain intact, but you have a completely different perspective from a girl who worries about food and being a size six. Dylan's perspective is a strange combination of Massie's and Claire's, there's confidence, yet there are plenty of insecurities.
The plot moves quickly and fast, and for once, it seems a little bit believable. Dylan meets a famous tennis star and blackmails her, but considering her mom's occupation, it's not outrageous. While the circumstances may be far from ordinary, the way Dylan acts and thinks seem to imitate most other girls. One of the most important aspects of book lied in its main characters actions, she isn't cruel like Massie and she isn't completely naive like Claire. That provides a completely refreshing change in Clique books.
The only downside with the book is simple, just like Lisi always empathizes Dylan's "huge" size in the main novels, Dylan seems obsessed with her weight in this one, but her sense of humour and hilarious escapades more than makes up for it.
