Um...wow. Everyone in Sweet Valley is playing brutal mind games on everyone else, and apparently that's pretty much okay. And I think the writer was trying to portray Steven as a typical high school guy with a big ego, but somewhere along the way he zipped well past that into narcissistic personality disorder. Yowza.
Mrs. Wakefield is oblivious and asks Jessica if she thinks they should buy the “large economy size on the sanitary napkins”.
A Sweet Valley book referred to women having periods? As if that's a normal, everyday thing? Life is full of surprises. Unless sanitary napkins are something else in the US?
Liz appears and yells at Steven that she can’t believe he picked on Jessica until she cried.
Okay, this is hilarious and the least of what Steven deserves. Cathy was doing really well until the end of the book. Other than this, everyone is seriously messed up.
I couldn't believe they referenced periods and sanitary napkins either! Except for the one book where Liz and Jessica start their periods, I didn't think anyone in Sweet Valley actually menstruated on a regular basis; no one's ever bloated and they're always wandering around in bikinis.
It also happens in Elizabeth the Spy. They're buying pads when the store is robbed, so everytime the security tape is played Jess is all "HOW EMBARRASSING I'M HOLDING PERIOD STUFF!"
Also, I vividly remember the guy at the checkout saying "extra absorbent, huh?"
Holy crap, what is Steven's PROBLEM? He acts like sociopathic high school Jessica in this book! Cathy should've told him to get bent. I loved that he dumped her and she didn't even care, she was just like, "Whatever, sucker, I'm going out with my friends."
Why on earth does Winston start doing an impression of a gargoyle?? lol!
"not every day you get to see Matthews and Wilkins in action." Oh my. ;)
Argh, I hate Steven in this book. I mean, Jill Hale, really? Why does she even like him again? Why would he ever go after her after how she treated him last time? Cathy was so awesome too.
Moral of the story: if a guy treats you like shit, dumps you for a bimbo, and then acts like a Big Man on Campus, you should not only want him back, you should actually take him back.
