SVH #19 is actually Showdown, in which Lila and Jess both secretly date the same guy who turns out to be a psycho. I remember how in the end Liz heard about the plane accident and I wondered what happened later, so thanks for summing this up!
According to Sweet Valley Diaries Jessica is kinda-sorta held at knifepoint by a druggie in Showdown. The review makes it seem kind of lame though. I was hoping for more drug smuggler action.
Elizabeth obviously knows what's going on, but feels it isn't her place to interfere. This is not the same Elizabeth we know and sorta-maybe-love! She's usually all up in everybody's business!
Enid in a Wheelchair - Neither Brave, Nor Heroic: Just Mentalez_ozAugust 5 2007, 04:03:36 UTC
Being Enid's best friend, for once it makes sense that Liz is one of the first people at the hospital, so I won't snark about that. Damn. Can you snark about it anyway? ;-)
Elizabeth obviously knows what's going on, but feels it isn't her place to interfere.But doesn't she interfere all the time? Is she being hypocritical? Or was she self-satirising

I think Teddy had visited Elizabeth before to use her pool. If I were Enid I'd probably be wondering what he was doing there too, but doubt I'd guess it had anything to do with me.
That pool thing was totally done better in one of the Malory Towers books by Enid Blyton. (And incidentally, those books are a large part of the reason I disagree with "updating" books - if teenage!me was still able to enjoy Enid Blyton's books over 50 years after they were written, surely today's teenagers can get their heads around something that was written 20 years ago.)
her family are totally rude in their reponse. Instead of telling her they knew it was an honest mistake, they actually get MAD at her, as if she'd done it on purpose.
Jessica is near tears and thinks "What a bunch of jerks I've got for a family" and for once I really have to agree with her. They're being awfully insensitive about this entire thing, and are constantly comparing her unfavourably to Liz. NOT something parents should do, and I completely understand why Jessica is so hurt. I actually was too, on her behalf.
1. WORD. My boss was nicer about a potentially devastating mistake I made this morning.
2. And Jess usually does everything she can to avoid cooking. Surely the fam should be encouraging this new interest in it? If Jess was a less narcissistic person, this book would make me wonder if the reason she avoids cooking is precisely because of this shit.
