Relation To Books Lost in Las Vegas (Carter House Girls #5)
Mix six teenaged girls and one ’60s fashion icon (retired, of course) in an old Victorian-era boarding home. Add boys and dating, a little high-school angst, and throw in a Kate Spade bag or two … and you’ve got The Carter House Girls, Melody Carlson’s new chick lit series for young adults!In a whirlwind, DJ accepts “lonely” Taylor’s invitation to join her mom’s tour in Las Vegas during Christmas break. DJ soon discovers that the unsupervised Taylor is focused on one thing only—partying with a capital “P.” She’s invited Eliza, too, and DJ is quickly overwhelmed by the behavior of the wild duo. Desperate, she calls on Casey for help and prays for a miracle to help Taylor before she self-destructs.

read my review here:http://ceceliadowdy.blogspot.com/2009...It started off ok, but got really bogged down in some serious stuff. Despite being set at Christmas and a few mentions of DJ doing some Christmas shopping, it wasnt very Christmassy. The ending was abrupt and seemed to come out of nowhere. I like Casey more now, and Conner seems like a decent guy. He and DJ are cute together and have a great relationship.
I actually really enjoyed this one, unlike the last few in this series. Taylor is a very complex character and I liked getting to hear her backstory. I'm still not sure what I think about DJ. She seems very wishy-washy.
Read this!!!!!!!!!!!
It`s Christmas break and Taylor invites D.J. to come with her to Las Vegas for Christmas where Taylor`s Mum will be performing on her tour! Awesome! When D.J. gets to Las Vegas she is so happy to finally be in a huge city! What could be better than spending Christmas in Las Vegas? Getting lost at Christmas time in las Vegas!! The worse part is when Taylor get insanely drunk while D.J. is lost in Las Vegas and she cant seem to find her friend. What will happen now? Once Taylor gets put in rehab
I still really like this series, but I didn't like that a lot of the girls weren't really in it. This one was mainly about Taylor.
This certainly isn't my favourite series by Carlson - I find that she takes the easy road too often and the books are too short to deal with the issues she tackles. But still, better than alternatives out there.
