Fun recap!

but to her horror WINSTON is made queen!!! Jessica wails to Cara who wonders, "But Jess, everybody knows you have a think for Winston. We thought we were doing you a favour!"

XD

Here's another recap of this book: http://community.livejournal.com/1bruce1/82475.html

Doh! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll edit to correct mistakes.

And here I thought I was recapping a book that hadn't been done yet! Must just be the profile page that isn't quite up-to-date. Ah well...

irinaauthor February 15 2008, 13:21:36 UTC

Oh no! And I thought I'd updated everything yesterday! That's what I get for doing profile page updates at work, I guess.

I loved your recap, though! And it's totally okay to have doubles, so don't worry about it.

The part of this book I found funniest was that Enid said she and George did bennies. I looked it up on wikipedia, and bennies are METH! So hard core!

kiwiria February 15 2008, 13:24:39 UTC

Hehe - yeah, writing "Winston was made queen" is what I get for writing the snark at work ;)

I'm not too worried about writing doubles. We all notice different things anyway :-D

Between this book and the plane crash book, I think Ronnie is really annoying. Enid, what did you see in him?

I still sort of like the idea of Jessica and Bruce getting together even though I know that a) he's a jerky attempted rapist and b) he ends up with my Lila. Isn't that weird? My 12 year old self was screwed up.

Wow, early Sweet Valley was kinda awesome and random.

Was it Ronnie in the plane crash book? I thought it was George.

esc_key February 16 2008, 01:29:08 UTC

You're right. It's George. She really knows how to pick 'em.

I love how everyone seems so new to one another. So much for that! (Sweet Valley Twins, I'm lookin' at YOU.)

Yay! We're recap twins! tooimpurenangel February 15 2008, 20:13:08 UTC

What a great recap!

When Liz is evil, she is EVIL!
WORD!

bttf4444 February 15 2008, 20:59:22 UTC

Oh, yeah, Jess was very evil in this book - once has to wonder just what kind of parents Ned and Alice are. Jess wasn't very likeable at all!

ultimate_cin February 15 2008, 21:54:38 UTC

Exactly.

I noticed that in the earlier books, Jess was really downright mean, and as the series went on, while she was a schemer, she became more likeable. I read in "Sweet 18" that Francine created Liz as the good girl and Jess as the bad girl, and she was surprised that more girls who read the series liked Jess than Liz. Maybe that's why Jess changed as the series went on.

A bit like people thinking the Misfits were way more awesome than the Holograms?
I'm probably just leaping to that point because I always imagine Elizabeth looking exactly like Jerrica Benton.

ultimate_cin February 16 2008, 03:08:27 UTC

LOL!

She made some comment that maybe she made Liz "too perfect" and I thought, "Gee, Francine, ya think?"
