Customer Reviews

Good but just a comment...

This is one of the best books of the series. I love the Conner-Liz thing. However... I just wanted to point out, I think in this book something like Maria and Liz go into the Riot and laugh as Tia pull them into the crowd. It's something like "Liz laughed then coughed at the second hand smoke." Smoking's been outlawed in California bars for a while. Just a comment.

Sixth Book in the SVH: Senior Year Series

There are some major relationship changes in "Your Basic Nightmare". For starters, the most complicated one occurs between Will Simmons and Melissa Fox. When he breaks up with her, she basically falls apart under the stress of what other people will think of her--and worse, that Jessica Wakefield will swoop in on her ex now that he's a "free man". However, Melissa couldn't be further from the truth, especially since Jessica has made it perfectly clear to Will she doesn't want anything to do with him.Will isn't the only guy to fall on Jessica's bad side, though. There's also Jeremy Aames, who Jessica believes has been avoiding her since the humiliating party scene in "If You Only Knew" (#5). She doesn't know, however, that Jeremy's recent absence is the result of his father's heart attack. Their lack of communication--and Jess's wild imagination--blows everything out of proportion.And then there's the matter of the most mismatched couple ever--Conner McDermott and Elizabeth Wakefield. I must say, at the beginning of this series, I found their love/hate squabbles pretty amusing, but now that Conner's true nature has emerged, I seriously doubt these two will ever have a workable future. I mean, while he and Liz are still playing tonsil-hockey (with no strings attached, of course), Liz is trying to keep it a secret from his ex, Maria Slater (even though Maria's starting to suspect something), but Conner seemed intent on having Maria catch them. Whether he wanted to make her jealous or not, I don't know, but this book really shed some light on the "real" Conner. Apparently, he has no regard for other people's feelings. Liz had better get some sense into that fuzzy blonde head of hers before Conner seriously takes her for a ride and she ends up losing Maria for good as a friend. Sexy or not, Conner is not worth it (which just so happens to be his own motto on every girl he's been with, including Liz)."Your Basic Nightmare" is the sixth book in the Sweet Valley High: Senior Year series. Worth checking out if you're into teen romances and enjoy Sweet Valley books.

I loved this book

This book was great. I love Melissa, and this book maily was about her. I think that even though she is mandictive and cruel, she is really hurting inside. She is a character when you are reading her POV, you understand her thoughts and why she does the awful things she does. Will and her truly are made for each other, even if it takes him aa while to see that. I hope that Pascal bring Todd back in, to give Conner soem competition. Its like soem of the biggie charcters are not even in hte story at all.

Finally!

I am so happy Elizabeth and Conner are together! I've been waiting for it since the first book. Maria needs to get over Conner. Then Elizabeth won't have to be guilty anymore. Mellisa Fox is a big, snobby jerk. It is Will's fault, not Jessica's, that Will cheated on her. Now Jessica's life is ruined, thanks to Mellisa. I hope Jeremy and Jessica get together. She really deserves it after all she's been through.

THE BEST ONE SO FAR

I LOVE THIS NEW SERIES! This book is definitely the best so far, out of the entire senior year series. But I hope it gets better. These books are SO much more realistic than the old Sweet Valley High series. I'm getting tired of hearing about the twins' California golden blonde hair, their blue-green eyes of the Pacific Ocean, and perfect size six figures. Plus, the love between Elizabeth and Todd is getting so boring. I'm glad that she and Conner are getting together. Well, I hope so, since those two sound so perfect together. Hey, OPPOSITE ATTRACT! I'm finally glad that Jessica got some of her self esteem back. Watch out, Melissa Fox! Jessica is coming back, STRONGER THAN EVER. I'm also glad that some of the main characters are gone such as Todd, Lila, and Amy. But I hope Ken will become a main character in this new series. He is my favorite OLD character, beside Liz and Jess. My favorite NEW characters are Tia, Conner, Andy, and Jeremy. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MS. PASCAL. CAN'T WAIT FOR BOY MEETS GIRL (#7)!
