two-face character pulls wool over eyes: the character of Sam was so incredibly horribly 2-faced that I felt like punching him. HOw can anyone behave the way he does and have Elizabeth's adoration and still genuinely loves her? I can't help but lament over the fact that this chracter's developement went way off target. Overall, the story still has its reading value.
fantastic + dramatic: Jessica is terrified that Elizabeth will sleep with someone who just isn't worth her virginity..Sam!!(I reckon Sam is a creep and do not know how Elizabeth stands him)so she devises a plan to brea the 2 up for good.But this may mean losing Elizabeth forever.The ending is very sad and marks the beginning of the silly "Elizabeth" series.
could have done better: Francine Pascal did such a great job on the first 40 or so books, but after she made it clear that Elizabeth and Tom were over that is when she messed up. I enjoyed reading about Elizabeth and Tom's relationship because it related to my own. I don't like many of the new characters that Ms. Pascal has introduced. I belive if something isn't broken than why fix it? Although I still enjoy her books and think that they are a realistic to a point, the main point is that: she messed up when she broke up Tom and Elizabeth. End of discussion.
Let Elizabeth stay in London: Please, let Elizabeth stay in London. Perhaps while she is there she can solve the problem of foot and mouth disease, since she is such a natural at everything. Kidding aside, we know that she and Jessica will talk again. There would be no more books if they didn't, and isn't this the bazillionth time the twins have stormed apart and said they'd never speak to each other again? Besides, the guys they fight over have all the charm of baked squash. If Sam really cared about Elizabeth so much he wouldn't have thought of flirting with Jessica. And Elizabeth was pretty stupid to even bring Jessica along, knowing of her sister's track record for stealing boyfriends.
Excellent book, must read for Sweet Valley Fans: This book is one of the best written in this series. I really enjoyed the Tom and Elizabeth relationship and was disappointed that they broke up. The best part of the book is when Elizabeth took off to Chicago and told Jessica they were no longer sisters leaving her stranded. The first book in the Elizabeth series is a must have as well.
