Sweet Valley University #22: Elizabeth's Summer Love

Dec 29, 2011 15:23

This book is one of the most awesome books not to be recapped on this site. I can't understand why it hasn't been. Summer! Romance! Everyone living in a huge three-storey house together and having fun! It's amazing. I mean, look at the cover:

This is going to be a long comment so I’ll split it up. I had to copy the text into a Word document to read it (the new lj layout gives me headaches), which meant I could type my responses as I read. Timesaver!

Manipulating this image all evening has made me doubt the existence of a merciful God.

I both love and hate you for that manip. And for posting it twice.

Oh, and he and Liz kissed, despite the fact that Liz is with Tom.
It amazes me how much of a cheater Liz is in these books. I never picked up on
it as a kid. It’s obviously part of the ‘romance’ that has to be in every book, which is ridiculous and creepy. Girls can only be validated if they have a boy on their arm! And if your real boyfriend is out of the picture, any other guy will do! Blergh.

She has to hand out bandaids and pick up dog shit

Does she really have to clean up dog poop? That alone makes the book worth reading. Jessica Wakefield, doing manual labour! Gross manual labour!

Why would lifeguards have rivals? Isn't everyone too busy saving people's lives ( ... )

Ryan Taylor's like, "No clothes!" and forces her half-naked ass into his Jeep.

And she still wants to be with this guy?!

Ben gets all sad and says -- truly, actually, completely seriously says these words -- "Funny...that's when I started loving you."

Oh Lord. Did he ever show any indication that he loved her? He was far more into the outdoor banana threesomes than Jessica.

Then she goes to sleep, because fuck Wendy. Bitch can find her own dog.

Dying.

Also, I love the fact that Ryan Taylor was just there. Just showed up in the middle of the ocean. Merman, maybe?

I shouldn’t be surprised but that’s pretty bad continuity, even by SVH standards.

Ryan Taylor, God of Beach, was...wait for it...a bad lifeguard! Nooo! He didn't always come to his shifts! He was late sometimes! Elizabeth is absolutely horrified and refuses to believe that anyone could be so irresponsible

She does know she has a twin sister, right?

Hey, where is Paul, anyway? Is he still just floating around out in the middle of the ocean on his sad boat? Because ( ... )

East Compton Clovers
No. No, no, no. If the other squad was the EAST Compton Clovers, I'd be comparing their shitty, lametown rivalry with that of the amazing Bring It On. Not cool. Therefore I dub them the NORTH Compton Clovers, from Not Another Teen Movie. I feel like that's the level we're on here.

And she still wants to be with this guy?!
I love Ryan Taylor all the more for that moment, though. Mainly because it's really stormy, proably raining, and Liz's undies go see-through when wet.

This is the one of the best things to ever happen in these books. I'm totally serious.
For realz. We can always count on Winston for a great C-plot.

But Jessica didn’t really do anything to Ben?
Jessica apologised for a bunch of things she didn't do. She even apologised for the Liz/Ryan Taylor/Todd fiasco, even though it wouldn't be a fiasco if LIZ HADN'T CHEATED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
