Yay, I'm the first to comment!!!!!

Wow, the book actually sounded not bitchy. Rawk!

I know! I couldn't believe it. I only found three things to snark about: Lila's bitchyness, Elizabeth and Steve being stupid enough to run with Jessica's theory and Susan and Jackson 'bonding' straight away... but even those were MINOR snarks compared to some other books.

I actually liked this one :)

And Lila, who overheard the invitation, now knows Gordon for the pig he is, and dumps him in front of everybody. Go Lila!
Oh, phew. I'm glad Lila came back to being awesome there. I mean, of course she is one of the most important people in Sweet Valley and should go to the stupid party but it is mean to lie about random girls' parents being in prison.

That's what I was thinking. She's not usually that much of a bitch.

The "Which one of you is in trouble?" thing is so special for so many reasons. Not only is it one of the few mentions of teen-age sex (or potential sex) in the book, but it's also framed by Aunt Helen's raising an illegitimate daughter alone, so it's not 100% out of the realm of possibility that an SVH student could be pregnant, slut or not. But it's also one of the only times that both Jess AND Liz are lumped together in potentially doing something (from the parents' perspective) "bad"; both the twins are as likely in their mother's eyes to be knocked up. Take THAT, goody goody Liz!

The crumbs, you guys. We have to take the crumbs in SVH.

Alice isn't completely dense. She knows Liz is just as bad as Jess. ^_^

Wasn't Allen Walters the guy Robin was dating before George? Love the recap, by the way. I always really liked this book, for some reason. ^_^

Yes, it's mentioned in the book that she broke up with him and it crushed his self-confidence. Poor guy.

I actually really liked this book as well.

So many of these books would be significantly shorter if people just went and asked about the misunderstanding instead of jumping to conclusions.

I like the cover of this one. They actually made Susan really pretty.
