In honor of the coming National Singles Awareness Day, a story about loss and devastation. No, no one is dying in this book, Todd is leaving! What will Liz do? (well, cry looking at the cover)
Now I need to see 1LILA1!! What a fabulous wedding present for Bruce to give Lila if they get married! (Last I knew of them, they were together in SVU...could be possible! A matching porsche for Lila, except in lime green (or mint like her fave ice cream:P) with...A PAPER CUP DISPENSER! nothing says true love like a porsche with its own paper cups:) maybe we'll see a flashback to this in SVHeights...:)
Oh, the beginning of the end. With Jeffrey and then the reappearance of Todd, my twelve-year-old brain couldn't take it. It meant that Todd and Elizabeth were only together, what, MAYBE four months. (I always thought that before they made a zillion books, Jeffrey showed up in the spring--but it could be because he was in a spring super special?) In high school years, that's like seven years, I know, but then THAT meant she and Jeffrey were only together for like, a month or two before Todd comes rushing back.
As you can see, I quit somewhere in the 50s. TIME MADE NO SENSE.
It's called a suspended timeline, dearies. Like in "The Simpsons" or "The Saddle Club"
WHY must so many Sweet Valley girls be SO DAMNED CLINGY? Don't they have self-esteem or lives WITHOUT men? God, Hillary Clinton would WALLOP THOSE girls.
I think all teenage girls think the end of their first serious relationship is the end of the world, buuuuut I'm not sure if that's how we should be writing about it. Some aspects of SVH seem very...hm. I want to say "moral" but maybe "moralistic" is the better word. So it surprises me when it isn't--like when Jess gets away with EVERYTHING.

That's sooooo what it is.
I'm not surrised Liz recovers from Todd-loss quickly. She probably had a few backups waiting in the wings. Slut.
