Reviewed by tanja_wueDiese Kurzgeschichten kommt auf gerademal 124 Seiten daher und lässt sich super um Weihnachten herum lesen. Wir lesen erst in Ashley Worten, wie sie eingeladen wird Weihnachten mit ihrer Klassenkamadin Emma zu verbringen. In Ahsleys Tagebucheinträgen wird sie auch liebevoll mit E abgekürzt. Der erste Teil zieht sich ein bisschen, dafür ist der zweite Teil besser und insgesamt solide. Kurz mal für zwischendurch.
