Brilliant

I don't know how Francine Pascal can write so many wonderful books. I really got into this one. But it didn't really have Maria and Ken in it at all. I was excited to head about them because they finally got back together, but this book was more about Jessica and Jeremy. But it was still great. I love all the senior year books!

This book was good

In this book, Jess and Jeremy have to make decisions about College. Jessica realizes she wants to stay here in Sweet Valley while Jeremy wants to travel the country. While they are fighting, a character from the past shows up. As in SVJH. To find out who it is just read the book. Conner and Elizabeth have officially broken up after Conner finds out that Evan had a fling with Elizabeth during his absence. So he gets together with Alanna. Two recovering alchoholics should not get together. They are just baaaaaaaaaad for eachother. Actually, Alanna is bad for Conner. That is basically the plot of the book.

Conner and Alanna

Okay...what happened to Conner and Liz?? Alanna is SO totally wrong for Conner, Conner needs to forgive Liz and get back together with her!!! And fast! I hope an upcoming book called BE MINE will be about Conner and Liz, Conner should do something out of character, like romantic..or something NEW anyways... Jessica and Jeremy are perfect!! Like a match made in heaven, though I was secretly hoping she would sort of get to together with Damon (again) and something would take of from there!Anyways..this was a pretty awsome book, and I cannot wait to get the next one!

Liked it.

I thought this book was really good but there were other books with better storylines. If you like reading about conner and his romance with Alanna this is a good book for you. I personnally think he should get over her and go out with Liz. Liz is so much better. I thought the parts with Jeremy and Jessica were good. I luv em 2. I luv this series and hope their are more books.

Awesome!

Okay, this was like my favorite book in the Senior Year series so far. First Jessica. Damon Ross is applying to SVU (remember him from Junior High?) and wants to see Jessica. He doesn't realize that Jess is going out with somebody. Oh, by the way, Blue Spiccoli is at boarding school.It turns out in the end he has a girlfriend named Kimberly anyway. Jeremy breaks the bombshell that he wants to apply to U of Arizona for its archeology program. Jessica throws a fit because she wants them to go to SVU. Mr. Aames has major palpitations late in the book. On to Liz. She isn't really mentioned in this book except for a conversation about colleges with Jess. Conner/Alanna is the main storyline in this book. Even though it should be Jess/Jeremy, its C/A. Alanna hasn't given up drinking, as you see in one chapter. (Even with rehab?) Conner and Alanna have a picnic with a few friends as a "meet Alanna"-type thing. Oh, yeah, you find out Alanna's secret, too. But I won't spoil it for you. Tia and Andy go on their trip to NYC. (If you have no clue what I mean, read Meant to Be.) At first, they have to share a king-sized bed. But then they get another room for Tia, and everything's good again. They go to QTV studios and get on air. Late that night, they go to a comedy club. The first jokes are stale until SuperAndy saves the day! He has some excellent jokes, but I won't spoil it for you. Andy cracks them all up.
