Book 23 in the SVH: Senior Year Series

Although Conner McDermott now has total freedom and a father who buys him alcohol, he still isn't happy. It's not until he ends up in the hospital due to alcohol poisoning that he "see the light" and returns home, agreeing to enter rehab. But first he breaks up with Elizabeth Wakefield, which allows the inevitable to happen: Liz and Evan Plummer hook up.Meanwhile, Melissa Fox and Will Simmons are back in the plot loop again, though there's not much to tell. Will's still at home moping after his big football injury that lost him everything-his football position, scholarship, and girlfriend, who is now falling for Will's replacement and Maria Slater's ex: Ken Matthews.Overall, I thought "Falling Apart" was a lukewarm book. There were some interesting moments, as I've mentioned above, but nothing earth-shattering. Even Conner and Liz's break up wasn't that big of a deal; it was long overdue, in my opinion. Worth mentioning, though, is Andy Marsden's humorous list on page 165 in regard to the homecoming dance that even he attends.

Falling Apart

Oh my gosh!! FINALLY Conner wakes up! It's about time! I cried so hard when I read them breaking up... sorry, yes, they break up! That whole Liz and Evan thing is [***]! Liz is in love with Conner, even though he hurt her, and if that's not enough, SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM A FEW DAYS AGO! come on, Liz! Wake up! That whole thing in the end about jess being [mad] at jeremy because he was visualing dancing w/ jess was soo funny! "jeremy looks happy. da[r]n." that was great. overall, this book was sad but good!

Enjoyed Reading This Book

I thought that this book was very good. I don't like Jessica's behavior towards Elizabeth in this book, I think that Jessica is kind of going back to her selfish ways. I like the Liz and Evan storyline, but I hope that Liz doesn't jump into a relationship too soon. I thought that Andy's storyline was very realistic. Also to my amazment, I actually felt sorry for Melissa. I can't wait to read the next book to find out what will happen with these exciting new storylines. I'm also glad that Conner has gotten his act together, it's about time.

Let the Excitement Begin

Lately some of these books have been getting boring.This one makes it interesting. No one knows what to expect. I think that Jeremy and Jessica might be able to work things out, but I hate that Liz has taken an interest in Evan. I waited so long for her and Conner to get together. In my opinion they belong together. I'm really starting to think Melissa to be evil. I won't tell all. You'll have to read the book! It's a great book though. I couldn't put it down.
