Customer Reviews

Interesting and Realistic!

This book is great! Everything about it is so interesting, and still realistic. Jessica Wakefield falls head-over-heels for Michael McAlley, despite all the warnings everyone has given her. She does something very big in this book, which I won't spoil, but you'll be surprised. Anyway, Mike and her have a very intense relationship, but she catches him with many other women and gets suspicious. Steven and Billie who live upstairs from Mike talk abotu Jessica and Mike's relationship a lot. Steven goes balistic. Elizabeth Wakefield is dealing with fitting in. Her ex-boyfriend, Todd Wilkins recently dumped her, and Tom Watts has a crush on her. But she's worried about her weight. This part in the book was very realistic. I am thin, and don't have weight problems, but while reading it the pain she was going throyugh with not having to eat such delicious food was very well written. It was so well-written I literally felt her pain. Even though I don't have weight issues and am in great shape, while reading I felt like I was worried about eating to much sweets. I totally felt for her. Todd Wilkins and Tom Watts, who are rivals both love Elizabeth. Tom and Liz work on a story for the WSVU news, but it may effect someone close to her. Meanwhile, William White, whom Celine loves is totally into Elizabeth. His obsession with her is way above normal. Anyway, back to Jessica and Mike. Jessica and Mike grow extremely close, and she does soemthing very, very big that will change her life forever. You will enjoy this book and I reccomend it to anyone. This book is great!

It's okay

This is one of the good books in this series. It's more realistic then the latest ones. Enid is acting like a total snob, and I can't believe the way she is treating Liz just because she got into the "cool and popular sorioty" (I'm in College and there is no such thing as an "in crowd".) I was so glad when Enid got what was coming to her it really starts with the next book. Todd gets what's coming to him too. Speaking of Todd, he is a jerk, it was obvious from the way he just slept with Lauren that he would have slept with anyone as long as he loses his virginity. Jessica made really big mistake she sleeps with Mike MCAllery, whom she hardly knows and according to his rep. he could have had anything. Other than that the book is good, the scenes between Celine and Liz are hilarous. Tom and Liz have more chemistry then she and Todd ever had and I'm glad they end up together. And Liz ended up happy and Todd and Enid ended up depressed like Liz once was.

Warming up....

The only problem I had with this book was the fact that the Tom and Liz thing was beginning to get tedious. It's so irritating when you know that both characters like each other but are too scared to say anything in case they get rejected. Jessica's floating on cloud nine since she lost her virginity to Mike McAllery a tall dark handsome hunk of a man. Only problem is that he seems to love his women. I think Jess is kidding herself, I mean, twice she's caught him in the arms of another woman and yet she's willing to get him the benefit of the doubt. I think she made a big mistake by sleeping with him. Guys like that aren't worth it. Which leads me onto Todd. I cannot believe that he slept with Lauren Hill! Good for Liz, she did the best thing by waiting for the right moment to lose her virginity. At least she won't end up hurt like her sister. Celine is being a complete witch and spreading nasty rumours about Liz but, luckily Liz has found a friend in the form of Nina Harper. She'll soon put a cork in Celine's fat mouth. Although I wish someone would put a cork in Alexandra's mouth - ever since she's changed her image from dorky Enerd to sexy Alex, she's been nothing more than a royal pain in the you-know-what. Keep reading this gets better and better...

Trouble . . .

Jessica has finally found the man of her dreams: Mike McAllery. But he lives in the same apartment building as her brother, and Steven can't stand him! Elizabeth is having so much trouble dealing with Celine Boreduex, her snooty roommate, that she fails to see that Tom Watts has taken a liking to her. Meanwhile, Celine is spreading vicious rumers about Liz, and only Liz's new friend Nina knows the truth. The Sigmas are after Winston to get them dates with the girls in his dorm. And to make things worse, Todd is facing some serious ILLEGAL charges. To find out what happens, read the rest of the book.
