SPLITSVILLE is Volume 2 in THE LIP GLOSS CHRONICLES. In the first book, the reader gets a glimpse inside the life of Britney. For SPLITSVILLE, the reader now gets to know more about Jasmine, Britney's friend from THE ULTIMATE TEST, and the girl who DJ Johnson was bothering.
Jasmine's life is out of control these days. She's practically failing geometry, so she engages Cecil as her tutor. DJ is still on her case at school. She interacted with TallandFly on the Internet and now he won't stop texting and calling her. And last, but certainly not least, her parents are constantly fighting and it looks like they're headed for divorce.
Thankfully, Jasmine has her friends. They insist on accompanying her to the mall to meet the boy from the Internet. They stand by her side when DJ gets in her face again. They tell her she's being too tough on Cecil, her tutor, who obviously has a crush on her. And they help her out when she gets her parents to agree to go on a new reality show that offers marriage counseling, Situation Number Nine.
As the reader can imagine, with all of these things going on, something is bound to happen. But I'm not one to give away such exciting plot twists. You'll just have to pick up SPLITSVILLE for yourself and find out what happens to Jasmine!
This second installment of the series continues the story of Jasmine, Britney, and Sierra nicely. It's easy to pick up from where the first novel left off. And if you're discovering THE LIP GLOSS CHRONICLES for the first time, you'll easily figure out all of the characters. It was also nice to see a different point of view in this novel as compared to THE ULTIMATE TEST.
To continue the story...Volume 3 of the series, PAPER THIN, was released in February 2010.
