She thinks friends dating brothers should be illegal and she is actually pissed at Lila.
LOL. And who was it pushing Steven to go out with her friend Cara Walker HMM JESSICA???

Yes. And Lila brings it up. This paragraph:

In history class, Jessica notices a dreamy look on Lila's face and see she's doodling hearts on her notebook. She thinks she's going to throw up. Ditto. She attacks Lila after class and demands to know what is going on. Lila points out that Jessica didn't mind when Steven dated Cara, but now somehow it's a crime for friends to date brothers (Wakefield, 0; Fowler, 1). Jessica insists they are not similar at all, and starts pointing out all of Steven's bad habits. He wears socks with holes, he eats chili straight from the can, he has burping contests. Steven is gross. But we knew this already.

I stopped reading SVH around the high school war storyline when Jessica was dating Christian, so I'm completely lost now. Who's this Devon person?

He was introduced in the last book.

I know that out of everything in this, this is a really odd thing to comment on, but:

Pete talks to the maitre d' saying he stopped in to see the owner. They get a good table. Pete then tells Devon he never met the owner or the maitre d' before. He conned them and he's very pleased with himself about it.

Oh, PLEASE. No maitre d' worth his salt is gonna fall for "I know the owner!" They hear that shit every day.

I don't know why I would expect the ghostwriters to get that right when they can't even manage basic police procedure.

Awesome recap, as usual. Though I don't know why you gave Liz the finger and not John (boo!). Is it because he's earned the double bird, but you needed one hand to hold the book, so you decided not to waste your time?

Ha. I know and it's such a stupid con too. At least make him seem more dangerous.

Maybe because I'm already jeering John every time his name appears I got it out of my system? I expect to hate him. Liz's support of the rapist was more surprising.

I really don't understand why Liz would stick up for John either. Isn't Liz a supporter of women's rights as well having her own experience with being nearly date raped? I can't believe that she wouldn't feel bad for Lila. What a bitch.

So, I never read this one. And I'm boggled, because 1) they actually mentioned old characters and plotlines in a seeming show of continuity and 2) we're supposed to think Devon is hot...?

Got me on that last part. Seems an odd way of introducing a potential love interest for our beloved Saint Elizabeth of Sweet Valley by making him out to be a complete moron.

... Or maybe it makes a lot of sense if you consider other boyfriends of hers.

I don't know.

Oh, this recap was MADE of awesome sauce and curly fries! Yayes!

Also, maybe they're all The Third because the people writing it watched too much MASH as kids? Or adults? Charles Emerson Winchester III FTW
