As If I Care

Summary: Book 18 in SVH Senior Year Series
Review: For the past couple books ("Three Girls and a Guy" and "Backstabber"), Tia Ramirez and Conner McDermott have been more than just friends. Conner's been getting a little help from his mother's hidden scotch supply, though. That's an odd switch, considering his mother is a "recovering" alcoholic and he, apparently, is turning into one.

Liz Wakefield is still completely clueless about Tia and Conner's latest make-out session (in "Backstabber"), though, so she's still talking to both of them. In my opinion, she's forgiven them way too easily.

The three J's--Jade, Jeremy, and Jessica--are spotlighted a little more in this book, with Jeremy Aames going out with Jade Wu (She gets a navel piercing on their date. Surprisingly, I got a little queasy reading it, even though I've pierced that area myself.), which makes Jessica Wakefield more jealous. So, in turn, Jess tries to make him jealous by flirting with random guys, with some success.

"As If I Care" is an ok addition to this series, primarily revolving around the Jade/Jeremy/Jess love triangle. Nobody knows about Andy Marsden being gay yet (well, that changes, though, in the last few pages. To be continued in "It's My Life", I guess.), but at least he's looking into support groups. There are also some good notes, journal entries, instant messages, e-mails, as well as a suitable, if depressing, haiku by Conner on page 139.

Summary: Better than Backstabber
Review: I liked this book- even though I do want Jessica and Jeremy to get together I think it's good that Jeremy is moving on- now Jessica should move on. I also really liked this book because Conner and Elizabeth are back together- and they both said those 3 magical words! I hope they'll be together for a long time! This one is one of my favories!

Summary: Can't wait for the next book!
Review: I love the series "Sweet Valley Senior Year," despite some recent plotlines that I have disliked. However, the series, including this book, is very well written, with attention-grabbing chapters and wonderful characters. Teenagers and other readers feel like they can identify with the issues and situations that occour in the series, as we experience them ourselves in our everyday lives. This book, as well as this series, is a lot more grittier and real then the old "Sweet Valley High" series, which was also very good, but nobody could identify with the stories, as the world of "Sweet Valley High" was more of a dream world that readers could visit instead of a world that they could live in. This book, number 18 in the series, answers some previously pondered questions that were brought up earlier in the series, and entices the reader to want to buy the next book. In all, I really liked this novel, and I can't wait for future SVNY books to hit the shelves!

Summary: Good, yet not great
Review: I love the series SVSY, but I am finding the recent books dissapointing... I don't like the new plot developments, such as Tia and Conner's ever-growing relationship, and Andy's confused state of mind. However, I liked this book. Jeremy has finally found someone that he can be happy with, and that ignites Jessica Wakefield's jealousy. She was once his girlfriend, but decided to break up with him to go out with Will Simmons, who is the star quarterback of the football team, and also the ex-boyfriend of the psychotic Melissa, who hates Jessica. However, he decides to go back to Melissa, and Jessica is heartbroken. Now Jessica is starting to have feelings for Jeremy again. Jeremy is confused. He still loves Jessica, yet he is attracted to Jade. I won't give away the ending for everyone who hasn't read the book yet, but let's just say that Sweet Valley will be changing drastically, for better or for worse-you decide!

Summary: Book 18 in SVH Senior Year Series
Review: I really like Jeremy. I really enjoyed reading this book. The Jeremy/Jade/Jess drama was really good. Jade sure wasn't who she seemed to be. I thought before I read it that it was good that he had a girlfriend but now I"m glad he doesn't. What she did to him she deserves to be alone. I know now that Jess and Jeremy are gonna get back together I can't wait to read that. They are 2 of my favorite character. Last series I didn't like Jess but this series she's better and I even like her better then Liz who used to be my favorite charater. Poor Jeremy what happened to him was bad but I'm glad he found out what kind of girl Jade really is. I don't like her any more for what she did. At first I did bud din't know what kind of girl she really was. This book is really good. I really enjoyed it and i know you will to. I suggest you read it if you haven't its pretty good. I can't wait to read when Jess and Jeremy get back together they so like each other. At least Jess doesn't go around and cheat on her boyfriend like Jade did. I know she dumped him for WIll but she waited intil after they broke up and started kissing Will but Jade didn't. Even though she dumped Jeremy for that loser Will I know she deserves a great guy like Jeremy and vise versa for Jess. This is just a good book.

Summary: So so
Review: I think that the book was okay, not as good as it could have been though.

First off, Jade is really getting on my nerves. The whole rebel, sarcastic girl thing is really old. She talks like a valley girl. ( example:Ick, by the way.)She's too cocky. Was this the same Jade Wu who was a shy softmore last year? Whose 'rents wouldn't let her do anything and nows she's getting a belly button ring?

The Liz/Conner thing is okay. The Conner drinking thing is getting old though.

Andy tells everyone that he's gay, well Jess, Liz, and Maria that is. I think that its good that he finally did it. Personally, the only reasin I gave it 5 starz was the whole Ken/evil Dad thing. Ken doesn't deliver a phone message to his Dad thatfrom his new gf and his dad totally SPAZES OUT! He tells Ken that, basically, if he's not the best, he's nothing to him. That he threw away his whole future. Also, it doesn't look like Asha's comin' back. She was actually cool. Anyway, okay book. I cannot wait for the next one.

Summary: It rulz
Review: I think the book is kind of weird. Um Elizabeth finally told Conner that she loves him, But I think Jess is being to jeoules that Jeremy is going out with Jade,she's the one that dumped him for Will. Conner tries avoiding Tia, but Tia gets mad and sees that Conner is drinking. About Andy...I dont know. Francine Pascal already put a gay guy in SVU. Why want more?

Summary: Good but not great
Review: I was really disappointed in this book because of the Jeremy/Jade/Jessica triangle. I'm really dsisappointed in who Jeremy chose at the end. The book was also about Conner/Elizabeth/Tia triangle and how Conner's drinking problems are continually growing. Andy is also trying to tell his everyone that he thinks he is gay but he has to get them to listen and they have to stop talking about their problems and let him have a chance to talk. Ovarall Good book, but could've been much better
