FORBIDDEN LOVE (Sweet Valley High, No 34)

Rating:
Summary: Contemporary twist on Romeo and Juliet
Review: Maria and John, children of two feuding families, become secretly engaged to be married. However, once their Romeo and Juliet fervour begins to recede, they are forced to deal with their immaturity and their essential differences. Meanwhile, Maria is spending more and more time with class nerd Winston, and her conflicting feelings about the two boys force her to re-examine her feelings. Unusually thoughtful SVH teen romance; an exceptional example of the series.
