on a scale of one to completely horrible this book rates pretty high.
FRANCINE PASCAL WHAT THE HELL?
oh my god. this was awful.
i'm not actually sure that francine pascal ever wrote any of the other sweet valley high books. this book was written by someone who has clearly no writing ability whatsoever. the grammar is disgraceful, the plot is full of holes, repetitive, strange and basically stupid.
so jessica comes to stay with elizabeth and todd who are about to get married and she spends her days shagging todd while elizabeth goes to work. WHAT? the whole point of SVH was that liz and jess were besties and had this connection that made every teen and pre-teen girl (and some boys) on the planet in the mid-late 80s/early 90s want to be a twin (and blonde and tanned and from california). like as if you would ever do that to your twin. ok so jess did shag todd in sweet valley university, but like, that was once and it was a mistake, and she like learned stuff from it and everything. at the age of 27 "love" is like the most pathetic excuse to shag your twin sister's fiance.
the whole book is basically about elizabeth shagging random guys in nyc to try and get over todd and the whole thing is like an internal monologue about how each character "feels" about what is going on, and the "journey" elizabeth goes on from being totally destroyed by everyone she cared about to complete forgiveness - even to the point of turning up to jess and todd's wedding as the bridesmaid. WHAT?!!????
the only good thing about this book is bruce patman. bruce was always my favourite svh spunk even though he was such a dick. but it turns out he comes good in the end and is like the nicest guy in sweet valley. SWOON!
regardless, this was TERRIBLE and i am so PISSED about what "francine" has done.
steven is gay and winston dies. now you don't need to read it.
don't read it.
EVER!
