First of all, I'd like to start by saying "Happy Birthday" to our own irinaauthor. I'm sure this birthday recap will be more valuable to you than cash, or a real present
( Read more... )
Unless Winston marinated some tofu in lobster...stuff. But they lobster they had went bad! I bet the next book is about everyone getting really sick from the tofu.
Great recap! I'd kill to have a gold lame micro-mini ANYTHING. (Yeah, I'm four years old, and proud of it.)
I have to say that the cover excites me. After two straight months of doing the first season SVH TV show, I'm excited to see Todd and Winston and the gang all smiley and whatnot. It's familiar. (How lame am I?) They make a really great TV cast...when they're in freeze-frame and not actually ACTING.
and it's REAL todd. (remember, they switched him out for some other guy who just wasn't the same...) That's Jeremy Garrett. He was actually the second actor to play Todd. But I like him better. His hair is less silly.
Also, what kind of students eat lobster and caviar? At Sweet Valley U, the students there spend so little time actually at class (and so much time solving crimes and throwing parties and making out with each other's boyfrinds) that I'm suspicious of whether or not they can actually be students. So maybe that's the key.
. Jessica still doesn’t want Liz to leave and she doesn’t like that Scott fellow. So she decides the way to get Liz to stay is to get her back with Tom.
I know SVU!Liz was more like SVH!Jessica for whatever reason, but please tell me she doesn't become ditzy enough to give up her dreams for a guy, and that Jessica's just ditzy enough to think she will. (Though yeah, okay, she DID ignore her sister for Tom until Jessica almost died of a drug overdose...)
Some guy named Jerome Jeffries calls for Liz. He is from the Colorado Journalism place. For reasons that are never really articulated, Jessica says that she is Elizabeth and agrees to meet him. She goes in a ridiculous outfit and crazy makeup. (The words “micro-mini” and “gold lame” are used in the same sentence.) She intends to make a bad impression and get Liz’s acceptance rescinded, but the dude thinks she’s wacky and fun. Whatever.
How many times did Jess try this trick at SVH and hello, IT DIDN'T WORK???
Also, quite honestly, I never got why it was such a big deal that Liz was leaving Sweet Valley? Is it like some Stepford town where no one is ever allowed to leave?
Does Elizabeth want to go far away? Because in that case I can sort of understand. Plus, as much as Jessica tended to blow Elizabeth off and take advantage of her most of their lives, I do think she was the one who needed Elizabeth more. But I'm analyzing a book series I haven't read and basing said analysis on SVT, where I think the characters were all different anyway

How many times did Jess try this trick at SVH and hello, IT DIDN'T WORK??? Sigh. you're right. Exact same scheme was used when Liz tried to run off to the Swiss Alps for the special writing school in SVH. Again with the unoriginality.

Lobster does not taste remotely like tofu. Or vice versa. Unless Winston marinated some tofu in lobster...stuff.

Actually, that would make sense.
