Jess and Jeremy.....Awwwwww

Ok, i LOVED this book. And I am hard to please. I think that it really showed that Jeremy and Jess cared for each other. Now your probably thinking, wait a minute, she gave it a 4. I may have loved this book. But-- it wasn't spectacular. Also, Trent's parents were pretty nice. Honestly, how many people out there have parents that would let your best friend move in?

Excellent!

I really enjoyed this book a lot! The main focus of course, is Jeremy's decision. I liked his end decision, but to find out what he decided, you'll have to read the book yourself. I'm not telling. Anyway, Jeremy is chosen to be the Big Mesa basketball captain. After all of his hard work to get captain, his family is moving to Arizona to help with his father's heart problems. Jeremy doesn't want to move there, though. His best friend Trent's mom and Trent agree that Jeremy can stay at Trent's house for the remainder of the school year, and Jeremy can move back in with his parents after he graduates.Tia, Andy, and Liz aren't really mentioned at all.Conner is still dating Alanna. (Yay!) But Alanna starts to drink again. I wonder how long the relationship will last. I hope for a long time, but that's just my opinion. That's basically the book.I think they should pull the spotlight off of Jeremy and Jessica and put Liz back in the spotlight. At least Me, Me, Me is coming up for us Liz fans....

Very Interesting

This book was very interesting and intriguing. The book was mostly about Jeremy, and his decision about whether or not to stay in California, or go with his family to Arizona (which I don't think would be such a bad choice since Arizona RULES!). He knows that if he leaves, he'll have to leave Jessica behind, but if he stays, he'll have to leave his family behind. Another part of the story is Will, when he becomes an intern for Mr. Matthews, and discovers something wrong is going on when it comes to Ken and his Michigan Scholarship. He tells Melissa, and he has to go through whether he should tell someone, or not, because if he did it would ruin Ken. Another part is Conner and Alana (can someone say 'ew'?) Conner comes back to Alana, which made me mad since she so obviously does not deserve him. I liked these books better when Liz was going out with him, but as they said in an earlier book, it doesn't seem like both Wakefield girls can be in happy relationships at the same time. It's a shame though. Alana starts to drink again, which Conner can see, even though she thinks he can't. But in a whole, it's a very interesting book!

This book was definetly better than the last few

The plot is finally starting to get interesting again. I love SVHSY, but for awhile the books were becoming more depressing, but finally there's something new going on. First of all, Conner is still with Alanna (gag), Will uncovered something disturbing about Ken's father and Ken's future, and Jeremy must decide about whether he's gonna move with his family to Arizona or stay behind. Liz was hardly mentioned, although I noticed that Conner kept saying things like "Alanna excepts me, unlike Liz," or "I can't leave Alanna after everything we've been through." But the thing is after everything he put Liz through he still chose Alanna over her. Plus the way he keeps mentioning Liz seems like he's only trying to convince himself that he's over her. I really hope he realizes that they belong together soon, cuz I'm tired of waiting, lol. If you wanna chat about SVHSY just email me.

not my fave, but pretty good

In this book, Jeremy is faced with a tough decision. His family is moving to Arizona, and he must decide whether he wants to finish his senior year at Big Mesa with all his friends and Jessica, or if he wants to stay loyal to his family and move with them. His parents leave the choice up to him, and what he decides surprised me. Ken gets offered a scholorship to Michigan, but Will find out that something fishy is going on between Ken's dad and the Michigan scout. Read to see if Ken does get the scholorship, and what Will decided to do. Alanna is having a hard time staying on the wagon, and feels nobody loves her. Read the book to find out what happens between Conner and Alanna. Tia and Andy are hardly mentioned in this book, and I hate that. We also don't really hear anything from Elizabeth either. This book is good though, and I reccomend it. It's not my favorite, but it does have some surprises with Jessica and Jeremy. Happy Reading!!
