Read Courtney's books. She's adorable. I'm still not necessarily sold on the doll (classic mold may actually fit the artwork for once but it's still my least favorite by far so here we are) but character wise? She's fantastic. I think she might be the first AG character in awhile that doesn't massively fuck things up though she does engage in my absolute least favorite trope for these books and fight with her best friend. It's not over something stupid and it's worth standing her ground but I think it'd be easier to count the characters who don't have a big ol' fight with their BFF than the ones that do.
Since I'm feeling scatterbrained, I won't go too in-depth and spoilery this morning (maybe tomorrow) but I will say that for everyone who was sure the 80's character would get nothing but fluff, Courtney sure went through some shit. AG going full meta was a bit cringey but not terrible, and I could've done without some of Courtney's Crystal fantasies as they felt very much like filler at points.
Overall I liked it. Courtney and Julie would be great friends, I think.
Oh, and AG? Good job going back to the illustrations. You absolutely made me want to buy every goddamn outfit piece, even the stuff I waffled on previously. Kid!me would've fallen for this ploy even faster.

I'm going to go open the other pieces and take pics shortly, though I won't be doing any sort of review until maybe tomorrow night.
