Book 18 in SVH Senior Year Series

For the past couple books ("Three Girls and a Guy" and "Backstabber"), Tia Ramirez and Conner McDermott have been more than just friends. Conner's been getting a little help from his mother's hidden scotch supply, though. That's an odd switch, considering his mother is a "recovering" alcoholic and he, apparently, is turning into one.Liz Wakefield is still completely clueless about Tia and Conner's latest make-out session (in "Backstabber"), though, so she's still talking to both of them. In my opinion, she's forgiven them way too easily.The three J's--Jade, Jeremy, and Jessica--are spotlighted a little more in this book, with Jeremy Aames going out with Jade Wu (She gets a navel piercing on their date. Surprisingly, I got a little queasy reading it, even though I've pierced that area myself.), which makes Jessica Wakefield more jealous. So, in turn, Jess tries to make him jealous by flirting with random guys, with some success."As If I Care" is an ok addition to this series, primarily revolving around the Jade/Jeremy/Jess love triangle. Nobody knows about Andy Marsden being gay yet (well, that changes, though, in the last few pages. To be continued in "It's My Life", I guess.), but at least he's looking into support groups. There are also some good notes, journal entries, instant messages, e-mails, as well as a suitable, if depressing, haiku by Conner on page 139.

This book is really good.

I really like Jeremy. I really enjoyed reading this book. The Jeremy/Jade/Jess drama was really good. Jade sure wasn't who she seemed to be. I thought before I read it that it was good that he had a girlfriend but now I"m glad he doesn't. What she did to him she deserves to be alone. I know now that Jess and Jeremy are gonna get back together I can't wait to read that. They are 2 of my favorite character. Last series I didn't like Jess but this series she's better and I even like her better then Liz who used to be my favorite charater. Poor Jeremy what happened to him was bad but I'm glad he found out what kind of girl Jade really is. I don't like her any more for what she did. At first I did bud din't know what kind of girl she really was. This book is really good. I really enjoyed it and i know you will to. I suggest you read it if you haven't its pretty good. I can't wait to read when Jess and Jeremy get back together they so like each other. At least Jess doesn't go around and cheat on her boyfriend like Jade did. I know she dumped him for WIll but she waited intil after they broke up and started kissing Will but Jade didn't. Even though she dumped Jeremy for that loser Will I know she deserves a great guy like Jeremy and vise versa for Jess. This is just a good book.

It rulz

I think the book is kind of weird. Um Elizabeth finally told Conner that she loves him, But I think Jess is being to jeoules that Jeremy is going out with Jade,she's the one that dumped him for Will. Conner tries avoiding Tia, but Tia gets mad and sees that Conner is drinking. About Andy...I dont know. Francine Pascal already put a gay guy in SVU. Why want more?

The Saga Continues

If you guys read the Sweet Valley Senior Year series, you already know that it's quite addicting! The saga continues in this book. If you are a Jeremy and Jessica fan, you'll be disapointted, Conner fans will be surprised, but it wasn't unpredictible when he drinks, Tia haters will be glad when a drunk conner tells her off, and Liz and Conner fans will be a bit happier! Pick up the book!

Great!

This book is the best SVSY book yet! Liz and Conner fans will not be disappointed! They do make up and Conner finally utters those 2 special words to Liz! Jad is getting on my nerves fast but mostly the book is about Liz and Conner. BTW, Conner totally trashes Tia!
