* [[I Have Brothers]]: Parodied (and taken [[Up to Eleven]]): "She has brothers" is basically Jamie's reasoning behind why Isabella is an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Manipulative Bastard]].

* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Hudson Rivers exists so Jamie and Angeline have a guy to fight over. He eventually proves to be even more shallow than that, when it turns out he {{spoiler|has a crush on (and would be a decent match for) ''Isabella''}}.

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Angeline thinks of Jamie and Isabella as friends and either isn't aware of their scorn for her or just ignores it. {{spoiler|It takes Jamie eight books to realize this}}.

* [[Suddenly Always Knew That]]: Almost a [[Running Gag]]. At the end of a book where a skill is plot-relevant (speaking a foreign language, playing guitar in a band, maintaining an automobile), it tends to turn out that Angeline had said skill the whole time and didn't bother to mention it.

* [[Take That]]: The Whisker Brothers, a three-boy band whose lyrics seems manufactured to make a middle school girl like them. Sounds like [[The Jonas Brothers (Music)|The Jonas Brothers]].

* [[Toilet Humour]]: Recurs. In particular, Jamie's dog Stinker is a magnet for this type of joke. As often as not, Stinker's bodily functions even drive the plot.

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Isabella has no trace of empathy and a very utilitarian concept of friendship. In fact, it's safer not to be her friend because -- well, it's safest not to be anywhere near her. She is still unquestionably a [[True Companions|True Companion]].
