A good ending to the series

This is the last book in the Elizabeth series, and ties up all the loose ends and of course, you have the huge confrontations and Elizabeth's big decision in it, too. Max and Lavinia's marriage is set to happen in a few days, and Liz ponders what to do with her life. Since the last book, when we found out that the Max and Liz slept together, not much else has happened with their relationship. This book picks that all up though, beginning with the two sharing a kiss under the mistletoe (which Vanessa witnesses). Basically after that, we know that Max is being blackmailed by Lavinia so he can't break off the wedding, but in this book he still chooses to bring Liz out on dates and such. Lavinia tells Max that she has information about Max's dad that could potentially "ruin" their family, so being the person that Max is, he figures he must sacrifice himself to save his family, by marrying Lavinia. But later in this book, Max finds a way out of the wedding.The ending was a bit disappointing, but I think the reasoning behind Elizabeth's decision made sense anyway. I wish that things could have been different though, or at least that the author wouldn't have left us in complete wonder as to whether or not Elizabeth and Max would ever be together again. This book moved along considerably faster compared to the rest, and I was disappointed to learn that it would be the last in the series. This series is among one of my favorites, because I thought it really resembled a modern-day fairytale. You have Elizabeth (who is basically poor, after fleeing from America) then there's Max, whose father is an earl. The two fall in love, while having to battle all these obstacles that come in their way (including the fact that Max is already engaged). Although the part about Max and Liz was somewhat disappointing in the end, the parts about James and Vanessa's relationship and about Sarah definitely made up for this. I'm especially glad that after all those years of chasing, James finally gets together with Vanessa - and that she is now able to trust someone of the opposite sex, after what happened with her mother. I would definitely recommend this book to any other teen. I became especially fascinated with London after reading this book, because the author managed to show the reader a glimpse of what life is like there - the culture, the people, the weather, a bit of everything.

A Really Good book

This book was really good. It sumed up a lot of the questions that you may have had in the first books, like what motivates Lavina?What will Elizabeth do? I would reccomend that you read this Francine Pascal book. It is filled with action, romance and a lot of other good stuff. I loved the Elizabeth series and I'm sad it came to an end. If you know about any future Francine Pascal books that will explain what happens during their future college years, please contact me and read this book!

Great . . . back to Sweet Valley!!

I really enjoyed the Elizabeth series, and I thought that all of the characters and storylines were both captivating and exciting! However, as sad as I am to see Max and Liz split up, I'm glad to hear that Liz is going back to SVU! I wonder what's going to happen when she gets home. What's been going on with Jess? Or Neil? Or Sam? What's up with Nina, or Denise, Winston, Isabella (if she's back), Nick (wherever he may be), Todd, or Tom? Anyway, if anyone knows anything, post away, ok? Besides that, enjoy your SWEET VALLEY reading!

Finally

Well this book moved at a faster rate than other books in this series. Also (crossing my fingers) I think that this series is finally ending, that's why I'm giving it 5 stars even though some of the storylines are unbelievable. I'm glad that Vanessa finally found out the truth, and that Lavina got what she had coming to her. I liked Elizabeth's decision at the end of the book, and glad that Jessica finally reappers. Although the way the author ended this book, it makes me wonder if there will be an SVU series again at all. I guess we have to wait and see. Hopefully there will be a better improved SVU series, with better storylines than the Elizabeth series. Also the plot twist with Vanessa was interesting, but could see it coming.

More PLEASE!!!!!

I just got done reading I NEED YOU and I loved it. I can't stand that they left me hanging with Elizabeth's choice MAX or SWEET VALLEY. Max is so perfect for Elizbeth i hope they'll get married. In this book a lot happens! Everything is reveled and you can say bye!bye! to Lavania.I hope there'll be a follow up book to what's happened in this.
