Summary: A real page turner! I loved it!
Review: The Big Night: Elizabeth Wakefield is walking on air (if that's possible!). She cannot wait to attend the prom on the arm of her sexy date, Devon Whitelaw. But when ditzy twin Jessica Wakefield forgets to deliver a message, Elizabeth finds herself swept away in a flood of memories with her ex-boyfriend Todd Wilkins. Jessica, who is better known as "Party Queen" is in no mood to celebrate! She's been ditched by her date and is dateless. So, when the chance pops up to 'borrow' her sister's date, will Jessica's scheming ruin the prom? After a wild night of twin switches, confrontations, locking ups and scheming. Todd finds himself plummeting down to the ocean, Elizabeth finds herself a hero, Lila finds Devon, meddling Courtney Kane finds herself arrested and Jessica finds herslef angry because the whole prom night has been ruined! Whatever happened to the picture perfect prom? Guess it wasn't so perfect after all, it seems! But the weekend is coming up and it looks like it'll be the weekend to PARTY!!! i've been a fan of the series for 4 years now and it gets better by each book! I love it so much, that I have a SV online club going on. It'z called the Sweet Valley Fanatics! E'mail me at mandi@hotbot.com for club details and send me your name, email, age, country, fave SV character and fave SV book!

Summary: Very Good
Review: The second book in the Prom Weekend series was very good.Jessica and Lila got ditched on Prom night and Jessica disguised herself as Elizabeth to keep Devon to herself all night.And I really wish Devon would get his mind and heart of Elizabeth.Todd should be with Elizabeth anyway and Courtney Kane finally got what she deserved.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action Packed!
Review: This book definitely has a lot of action in it! I didn't read book 141, so I started reading to find out almost from the beginning about a new feud between Jessica and Lila, Jessica and Elizabeth, and who else but one involving Devon, Todd, and Courtney.

Lila and Jessica had both wanted to go to the prom with the same guy, so they agreed that neither would go with him. As it turns out, both went behind each other's backs and planned to go with him anyway. As you can imagine, things got rather heated when they made that discovery and he ditched them both, leaving both without a date. Next, due to a mix up on Jessica's part, Elizabeth and Devon's plans for the prom go all wrong and Liz ends up going with Todd after all. Unknown to anyone but Lila, Jessica does the twin switch and meets Devon. Meanwhile, Courtney is outraged when Todd calls to say he's not going with her after all. The creepy little rat ends up ruining everything for several of the people at the prom.

In my opinion, as much as I like (and feel sorry for) Devon, I think he should have either left Elizabeth alone rather than be so demanding and impose himself on her and almost force her into the mess she gets into, or maybe he should have left Sweet Valley completely. And though Todd seems a little boring sometimes, I feel sorry that he has to be put through everything he does. After all, it always has been Liz and Todd. Courtney is a spoiled brat that should be taught a lesson for once and for all. As for Jess and Liz... I love the action, but why can't they stay out of trouble for a while?!

This book was really exciting! Definitely a true SVH book. All the fighting makes the reader think about what's going on and develop feelings about each character. I was just a little disappointed that Jessica and Elizabeth couldn't have a perfect night to remember, but I guess in these books that never happens! You have to read this book if you enjoy following the series or if you like to read about never ending rivalry :)

Summary: Good
Review: Why can't Elizabeth just choose already?! Personally, I think that she and Todd have been together for way to long, and need to just break up. Devon may be a new character, but he obviously loves Elizabeth. Why does Elizabeth have to be so selfish? I'm glad, though, that Courtney finally got her just desserts. Lila and Jessica need to be a little more sensitive. They are bratty!
