How many times do we have to read that Blake is very tan!? OKAY, I GET IT SHE'S A VERY TAN CHARACTER YOU DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT IT OVER AND OVER! I think that was one of the parts in this book that drove me nuts.

I’m going to get Johnny’s and Blake’s cards for them,” my dad says, choosing to ignore my skepticism, as he pulls out his billfold. “You know how hard it is to find parking.” The ‘Football Fan Fiesta’ basket, preferably,” he adds, giving me a big wink as Olivia’s mom, Donna Taylor, the head of the PTA and former prom queen (rumored to have literally bought the vote for both those elections) finally comes trotting onto the stage.
