Book #10 in SVH Senior Year Series

After losing his college savings at the tracks, Angel Desmond is startled with yet another blow in "Broken Angel" when his father fires him from the family's car shop after finding out about Angel's financial mishap. (What is wrong with that guy's father?) Now Angel isn't even sure he can go to Stanford, no matter how hard he works at his other job at the Riot.Meanwhile, Jeremy Aames breaks up with Jessica Wakefield, thinking it best for them to spend some time apart, especially after he caught Jess on what looked like a date with Will Simmons in the previous book, "The One That Got Away". It's now left up to Jessica to figure out who she wants to be with--Jeremy or Will. And it doesn't look like it'll be an easy decision for her either, especially after reading her "Jeremy vs. Will" comparison list on page 60 and 61--and especially after what happens in the last few pages of this book during the cheerleader-football team "kidnapping".And speaking of writing samples, there are two humorous bits in "Broken Angel": 1) on page 122, the morning announcement Maria Slater has to read to the school about showing school spirit the "responsible and mature" way, and 2) on page 133-6, Andy Marsden's slacker essay for the Oracle on school spirit. There are additional notes and journal entries (which is standard in every SVH Senior Year book), including some e-mails passed between Maria and Ken, who, surprisingly, have not yet gotten together, if they ever will. But at least Ken's still determined to get back on the football team, the one thing (besides the memory of his dead girlfriend) that brings him a great deal of happiness.

This book was reeeally good...although I would like to see..

Liz quit being so mopey! Come on everyone! you know Conner will come around with his mom being in...trouble. He'll probably need someone to talk to and BAM! At least I hope! My favorite books BY FAR were the ones with Liz/Conner stuff in them. But Liz is acting really really strange. She's the last person you'd expect to act like this! and I am sooooo glad about the Will and Jess stuff! I think that Melissa deserves to see Will and Jess together and I hope she crys her eyes out! OH! AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK E-MAIL ME!

The best one yet!

This has to be may favorite Senior Year book yet! It has everything! Lot's of Tia, Lots of Will and Jessica (read the ending). It is very funny. It's also sad. We finally see Andy again. We also have a wonderful ending that leaves you hanging for more!

sweet valley high has really grown up.

sweet valley high has really grown up, but seeing as the twins had been 16 since about 1984 this is way overdue. ive read through all the other reviews and i cant see why everone thinks jessicas turned into a wuss or boring as some of you put it. jessica's changed but beleive me, this change is realistic. you fellow svh fans cant expect her to be the wild and spontaneous jess that she was forever. everyone's got that bit of insecurity in them. as for liz, thank god she got out of that rut. she was turning into one of the most boring people on the face of the planet. certainly a year on she has spiced up. what happened over her summer???? anyway as for the series, a+ guys. well done. certainly a welcome and much needed change for devoted svh fans. keep it up!!

Okay

In broken angel, Tia and Angel deal with his money loss. Jermey and Jessica back off because Jermey cand see Jess has feelings for Will. Elizabeth is still moping around about Conner. Conner is having troble with his mom and you can tell he still has feelings for Liz. Ken and Maria are getting closer and Andy is sill stuck in the middle of everyones problems.
