(Missed a good opportunity there, Steve!) Willing to believe that Liz has undergone a complete personality change, Todd takes Jessica to the PBA/PE dance, but still isn't convinced by her charm, forcing her to seek revenge through telling Liz he'd gone the grope. It's okay, though, because he's not dating her sister Betsy, who apparently sleeps around. In an uncanny coincidence, it turns out that Steven Wakefield has been dating Trisha Martin, a member of the most gossipped-about family in town. Meanwhile, Jessica embarks upon underage drinking with sleazy Rick Andover, neatly ruining Liz's reputation in the process. Cue Great And Enduring Angst for most of the book. While Elizabeth relies upon blushing glances, Jessica is far more proactive when it comes to nabbing her man, thus entangling Todd just enough to make Liz believe the two are together. It's not well-written, it's enormously corny and I love it to death and probably always will, even if I know it so well that I can almost recite each sentence before I get to it.Įlizabeth and Jessica are both chasing after the same guy – the stunningly dull Todd Wilkins. As the first book in the Sweet Valley series, it demonstrates perfectly what the series is going to be about. I think this would be the book I've re-read the largest number of times.
