Descrição da editora
In the second book of Caroline B. Cooney’s bestselling Night to Remember series, five high school juniors get ready for the most important night of their lives—a dance that will bring happiness . . . or heartbreak
For Kip, Anne, Beth Rose, Emily, and Molly, it’s the perfect end to their junior year. The night they’ve been waiting for—a night to wish upon a star.
Kip just got the ultimate kiss-off: Her boyfriend, Mike, suddenly wants to be “just friends.”
At the start of junior year, Anne and Conrad were Westerly High’s most popular couple. Now everything’s different, and Anne wonders if the whole school knows her secret.
Beth Rose was a perennial wallflower before she met Gary. She’s crazy about him, but he’s never once said the L-word.
Emily’s life just fell apart, and all she wants is for Matt to make the pain go away.
Molly’s furious that Con is taking Anne to the dance when she knows he really loves her. She’s about to plot the perfect revenge . . .
For five very different girls, it’s a dance they’ll always remember. Will it be a night of love—or loneliness? An ending—or a new beginning?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Those who admire Cooney's deft weaving of plot upon subplot exhibited in her other novelsincluding this book's predecessor, Saturday Nightwill be entertained by this sequel, though not completely satisfied. The five girls who starred in the last book are back, with romances going awry or not going anywhere at all. It's the Last Dance of their junior year: one has had a baby, one has terrible family problems, etc. The names become a muddle, there is a now-predictable disaster theme (last time: flood; this time: fire), and the girls' lives are open-ended enough to leave room for, perhaps, another episode. Better-than-average romancing is going on here, but not up to Cooney's usual much better-than-average standards. Although this book still has the froth, it isn't as fun as the first one. Ages 12-up.
