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-

The Bloody Young Blokes! That's brilliant. I love it when the ghostwriters demonstrate their knowledge of the English - the Bloody Young Blokes will be supported tonight by the Sodding Knickers Cup-of-Tea Brollies (what else do Americans think we say?). Is Bones gay? If not, he should be.

I am so disappointed that Liz even managed to lose her virginity in a coy, holier-than-thou way, though it is fitting that she loses it to a cheating cheater. She just should have slept with Todd, and I hate Todd.

Great recap! I never read this series, so it's interesting to know what happens, even if what happens is nothing. Oh well.

Fab recap! I never read this one...I can't believe Liz getting her v-card swiped was played so nonchalantly.

Anyone else wonder why they didn't do a "Jessica" series to coincide with the "Elizabeth" series? I feel like this proves once and for all that Francine's fave was Liz.

She is her fave. She's made that clear in multiple interviews. I don't think it was ever in dispute.

I squeed so badly when I first saw this. Someone, please, track down the last book in this series, STAT!

"Elizabeth feels lonely and tries to bond with Vanessa, but is shut down quickly. I like Vanessa."

Perhaps the book's - no, the series's - only saving grace.

Perhaps.

Extreme LOLs recap & comments! I know it was mostly plot filler, but I thought the subplots rocked.

Vanessa: REVENGE!

James: Vanessa, you seem freaked out and obsessed with something. What is it?

Vanessa: Go to hell!

James: Why won't you love me?!

Vanessa: REVENGE!

Me: HAR!

They're outside the house. From the description (glass walls) I bet they meant a greenhouse. But of course, "herbarium" sounds more British and romantic, so... :)

[versipellis]

The Bloody Young Blokes. THE BLOODY YOUNG BLOKES? Is that actually REAL? Because if it is, it... sounds like it is the only saving grace of the book, but still...

She closes her eyes to think about Nina and, when she opens them again, Max's face is inches away.
I'd find that more than a little unnerving, to be honest.

Hee. Bones' bones. Heee. "horribly deformed psychopaths"... awesome recap!
