The Best So Far...

I think "If You Only Knew" is the best book in the series so far, even though the "Melissa Loves Will, Will Loves Jessica" thing is getting old. But it's cool that Ken's back.At the beginning of the book, here's what's happening:-Conner is confused about Liz.-Liz is confused about Conner.-Jeremy thinks Jess hates him.-Jess thinks Jeremy hates her.-Maria thinks Conner wants her back.-Melissa thinks Tia and Jess told on her.-Will never wants to leave Melissa.At the end of the book, here's what's happening:-Conner has kissed Liz again.-Jeremy has found out about Jessica's reputation and something bad has happened to his father.-Maria saw Conner and Liz after they kissed and knows something's up.-Will wants to leave Melissa.Confused?

Not the best but oh so close!!

The fifth book in the SVH Senior Year series will not leave you disappointed.I love the way the book has been set out with diary-like excerpts,lists,e-mails,senior polls,stories and homework all done in a certain handwriting font for each character.It is seriously cool and helps make Senior Year that much cooler than all other teen series.In this book Melissa did not get the cheerleading captaincy she so desired.Will instead of feeling the need to comfort his girlfriend feels like a trapped animal.The absolute best part is when he goes to see his friend Angel(I know you're thinking'what were his parents thinking?')who says the most hilarous thing on Page 69.It is so funny.Anyway this book mainly focuses on Jessica and Jeremy.Jeremy really likes Jessica and Jessica likes him(and I think they're the perfect couple)but everytime Jeremy asks her out she refuses because she doesn't want to fuel the rumours that are going around.She finally agrees and goes to a party but unfortunately for Jess,Melissa and her obnoxious friends appear and try once again to ruin her reputation.You'll have to read the book to find out what happens and it ends up as a bit of a cliffhanger.Elizabeth and Conner can't hide their attraction to each other but they might have to because even after being brutally dumped by Conner,Maria still has feelings for him and is trying to get him back-with the help of Elizabeth.You'd think friends would be more honest as it saves all the silent treatment they have in Book 7.But once again you'll have to read the books to find out who's ignoring who.As a another addition to the story Maria has to work with Ken on a project but Ken's still moping over the fact that his girlfriend Olivia died.In the most unexpected turn of events Maria succeeds in getting through to Ken.I really love these books.They are great!!!They look every part the teen drama they are but you have to read them.If you like this you'll be sure to love the rest of the series.I think that reading about the lives of melodramatic teens is the best medicine.Pretty soon you'll be wanting to know everything about Elizabeth,Jessica and the whole gang.It'll be interesting though to see how they tie the end of this series to Sweet Valley University as it is already so different!Happy Reading!!!!!

Fifth Book in the SVH Senior Year Series

After their first kiss in "I've Got a Secret" (#4), Conner McDermott and Elizabeth Wakefield are struggling with their emotions for each other, especially since Liz's friend (Maria Slater) is still hung-up on Conner, even though he dumped her a week ago. Nevertheless, Maria aims to win him back no matter what.Meanwhile, Jeremy Aames is still infatuated with Jessica Wakefield, but she's trying to brush him off. That's not going to stop Jeremy from trying though, even though he's swamped with school activities, sports, and a part-time job that will hopefully improve his family's financial situation."If You Only Knew" is the fifth book in the Sweet Valley High: Senior Year series. This is another great addition to the teen romance drama that's been building since the beginning of the school year. Worth reading if you're 12+ and a fan of Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley books.

Tres Bien!!

Firstly,Liz & Conner are so totally crazy about each other and this book starts a real look into the possibility of them getting together!! In the form of a smooching kiss of course... Next, Jeremy finally asks Jess out but at the end.. the book leaves us wondering about what's going to happen. Ken is finally breaking out of his shell.. & Will heistates abt breaking up with the wuss Melissa....AGAIN!! Maria is paranoid and she's pathetic ard Conner.. anyway, i love this book. It's very realistic and exciting. Much better than the old SVH series(though the old was good too) Everybody should start reading from book 1. It's that good!Can't wait for the next few to come out sooner... It just gets better.. THUMBS UP!

WONDERING

After I read this book, i spent the whole night wondering what the next book would be about. Before you read this book, you ask yourself, "Will Marissa ever be taught her lesson? Will Will break up with her? Will Jeremy and Jessica get together? Or Conner and Elizabeth? Some of your questions aren't asnwered, but this book gives you just about everything!
