Great Book!!

This book is great! It's an excellent conclusion to the second LIFEGUARD mini-series. Sweet Valley University books rule! Anyway, in this book, Elizabeth Wakefield is depressed because Ryan Taylor and her broke up, and Jessica Wakefield jumped right in. Elizabeth didn't show up for Ryan's anniversary of not drinking because of jeep problems, so Ryan breaks up with her. Jessica, who has always had a crush on Ryan, starts dating him. Elizabeth is sad because she really loves Ryan, and worried because Jessica doesn't know that Ryan's an alcoholic. Jessica's excited and she can't wait to show offr to Ben Mercer. She brags to Miranda about Ryan's good looks and romance. But on one date he gets drunk. Jessica is very upset, but tries to act like nothing happened, and tells Miranda that everything went well. Ryan apoligizes, so she forgives him. Nina Harper is scared. Somebody has done awful things to ehr, including knocking her unconcious. She knows it's Rachel Max. Rachel says that Stu is the baby's father, because of a one night stand they had. Nina's very sad because Stu was one of the sweetest guys she ever knew. Meanwhile, Winston Egbert tries to get Pedro back togetehr with Wendy Paloma. SInce he's the one who got them togetehr in the first place he knows he can get them back together. He tries a wild plan. Anyway, this book is great!

Summer problems for the lifeguards!

This book wasn't the best LIFEGUARD book but it was good anyway. I think Ryan was wrong to start drinking again just because Elizabeth didn't show up for their date. He also dumped Liz and started to date Jessica which I thought wasn't very nice to do. The ending of the book was quite unexpected and it left me wondering what would happen next in the next summer series!
