Hahaha. Good recap. Nice brrrrrrrrrrrreaststroke, Jessica. Notice how similar the first few books of SVJH and SVHSY (whew! that's a lot of letters) are? They both start with Jessica being eager to make a splash at her new/newly populated school, and Elizabeth being all sombre and "so ends an era". But they both result in Jessica being ostracized from the cool group and called names, and Elizabeth making rad new friends and gaining new attitude. I do like the switch-around though. Then it's revealed that the popular girl giving Jess the most grief (Lacey in SVJH, Melissa at SVHSY) has pwoblems, and is insecure deep down, with a troubled home life. Um yeah, so anyway, don't lie and say your brother is your boyfriend - it can bring no good.
I think that's why I love Lacey and Melissa so much. Because they made life hell for Jessica, who I hate more than any sane person should hate a fictional character. ^_^ Someone mistook my brother as my boyfriend once and I don't think I've ever let go of someone's arm so fast as I did that night. ^_^
So Lacey and her minions just accept Jessica like that? How... anticlimactic. I wasn't aware the magical friendship-forging powers the butcher shop held.
Also, the kids laughing at Jess cuz she has no idea where the Maritimes are kind of makes me shake my head. I don't think most American adults know much about Canadian geography, and considering how lax we know school standards are in Sweet Valley...
I wasn't aware the magical friendship-forging powers the butcher shop held. Um... What book series is this again?
I don't think most American adults know much about Canadian geography, and considering how lax we know school standards are in Sweet Valley... Depending on where in America you live. When I lived in Niagara Falls, Canadian geography was part of our lessons, considering the country was within spitting distance. But that's neither here nor there, eh?
Okay, okay, I think I'm beginning to understand Sweet Valley logic:
It's completely okay for Liz to help Jessica when it's Jessica's social life and reputation at stake, but when she sets Liz up to kill a boyfriend, then Liz is totally mocking material.
Yes... Sweet Valley logic. It's a wonderful thing.

There's a dent in my bookcover and it reflected weird when I scanned it. ^_^

^_^ It's because it's Jessica and she's never once called Liz Twinnie.
