The Elizabeth Series, #5: Max's Choice

[melody_powers]

The Elizabeth Series, #5: Max's ChoiceNo, the choice is not fish or chicken. Nor is it cake or death. Max does have to pick out stationery at one point, though, which frankly is more interesting than the actual choice: Elizabeth or his fiancée, Lavinia. As if there's any suspense there, considering he's choosing between a Wakefield and a non-

THAT'S IT?!? Am I wrong to be disappointed in the Liz finally has sex scene. She was only with Max for like two seconds and he's still going to marry someone else. Ugh. She should've given it to Todd in SVU. (You know it's bad when I am arguing on Todd's behalf.) That was so lame.

I kinda love the Star Trek references.

There seems to be a lot of thinking and pining in England. Everything takes forever. Maybe that extra u in words like colour make all the thinking take longer?

ah yes on the Bruce downside theres the attem pted rape but this is sweet valley. where traumas such as dead boyfriends, attempted rape and makeovers are only rembered in 1 or 2 books after the event and then erased from memory. except for Regina of course:)

[veracity]

Okay, that was a crappy book. Hysterical recap, but man, when will I learn to not expect anything out of a Sweet Valley book? Really now. Also, the funniest part is that Clueless was on last night at like 2am on TNT. So was the final episode of Angel, but that's here nor there.

It persevered against seemingly impossible odds-longtime boyfriends, summer flings, and horribly deformed psychopaths-but now we must say goodbye at last.I..I don't know what to say to this, except Jessica should have slept with Maudlin Max (what? I need my own little joy here) just to tick Lizzypoo off a little more. I mean, it's Lizzy. Jessica and Lila would have livened it up. Probably helped Sarah out in the seduction part, too. The kid seriously needs it if she thinks a rock star would be put off by a little STD. Especially if he knows anyone associated with Bret Michaels

only Liz would finally do the deed and feel "never felt so at peace with the world."
LOL almost wish she would have done it with bruce so todd could punch. now THATS a story...

[veracity]

No no! Because he'd be inept enough to hit 1bruce1 thinking it was Bruce. You know, Todd's like the broken, useless spade in the greenhouse that you just can't bear throw away but was replaced with the newest, bestest model.

SEX....

She figures he can't be just toying with her because he has too much integrity. Yeah, he has the kind of integrity that lets you make out with a woman repeatedly while you're engaged to marry another. What an honorable guy.
Hahahaha :D

This Bones, though, is the lead singer of a new pop rock band, the Bloody Young Blokes. I think the ghostwriter should have just called the band "Hi, We're British!" It would have had the same effect.
Such wit!

Hmmm... An English person is secretly the illegitimate child of nobility, bitter over the tragic death of their mother. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Watch out for werewolves, James.
I know, right? Not every single slightly noble English family has illegitimate children hidden under the floorboards. Maybe Francine Pascal is actually the lovechild of Queen Elizabeth and a bum or something.

Maybe it's a last-ditch, desperate attempt to snare Max: blood in the food = secret voodoo love ritual.

She considers buying an "American-style Miracle Bra," which makes me wonder what an English-style

Er...sorry, not sure what happened with my comment above, it looked all right when I posted it!

It's here:

< The cook puts a Band-Aid on the wound, and Liz goes back to cutting vegetables. It doesn't say that she gets a new knife, so I can only assume that she's getting blood all over those vegetables. Eww.< / i >

*it happened to me last week*

[kakeochi_umai]

Unfortunately, Max is engaged to Lavinia, "who probably bathes in champagne." This makes me think that Lavinia always smells like booze.

It makes me think of Michael Jackson, who apparently bathed in Evian at a British hotel once. So now for the rest of this recap I am going to picture Lavinia as a freaky bleached white life form of questionable gender that one shouldn't let their kids go within a kilometre of. (Which is probably not far off from what we're supposed to picture her as, since she's a non-Wakefield and all...)

She sees his date and runs off, followed shortly by the hot redhead.
What'd Vanessa do, tell the redhead that James was a cheerleader?

I can only assume that she's getting blood all over those vegetables. Eww.
Hey, spitting in the food may be the traditional way, but there's nothing wrong with a little innovation.

James confronts Vanessa in the herbarium and tries to convince her to trust him. She bites his head off.I swear I don't know why my mind went into the gutter just now, since that's a pretty common
