A cute guy from Connecticut moved to Sweet Valley because his parents died and he wanted to live with his nanny. His name is Devon Whitelaw. Jessica Wakefield was totally in love with Devon. She was sure that he would be her boyfriend in days. Jessica did whatever to make Devon drool over her. By wearing sexy clothes, giving him a tour around Sweet Valley, flirting with him, `accidentally' bumping into him between classes and more. But there were two problems. The first one is that Devon likes Elizabeth, Jessica twin sister. The second one is that Elizabeth already has a boyfriend. Devon and Elizabeth got more and more closer when they became lab partners. Todd decided to have an anniversary of Elizabeth's one-year anniversary of the day that she had her first article published in the Oracle at the beach. He had music, fantastic food and wine. But on that day, something went wrong. Jessica saw Elizabeth and Devon kissing in the field behind the high school. Jessica was speechless when she saw that. The continuation of the nail-biting story will be in the next book...

Jessica ... loosing her touch?

I thought this book was really good! I especially liked the part where Jessica invited Devon to meet the right people and go to the hottest places and he turned her down. She failed to enchant him and she thought she had lost her touch. Meanwhile Devon went for Elizabeth and Elizabeth fell for him. They started a secret relationship. Read the nail-biting end yourself!!!

Decent

I liked this book very much except for one thing that I believe could be better. I believe jessica COULD have succeded in getting devon if she was only a bit smarter. The problem, I believe, is that jessica relies too much on the obvious manipulation tricks such as smiling. If she were truly skilled she would have used subtle tecniques to get around the mental block that devon set up in his mind to stop jessica from getting him. She would have had a much higher chance of success that way. I believe she should study the real tricks of manipulation.
