The Sweet Valley kids are left to clean up the mess. Instead, Jessica slaps some guy who tries to drag her off. Everyone is horrified but just kind of stands there going “Oh my god!” I am really disappointed that no Todd punches go down. They throw food everywhere, toss a cassette in the ocean, spray shaving cream, and drag around the girls, then run back out. The party gets broken up a bit by a Big Mesa High School “raid.” A bunch of Big Mesa kids show up wearing their school colors and bull masks. Normally, I would say that will probably last about 20 pages, but who knows where this is going now … Liz is humiliated and decides she’s officially done watching out for Jessica. Everyone acts like Liz is bonkers for worrying so much. She’s about to grab Bill Chase’s surfboard out of his car and swim out to rescue Jessica (no joke) when Jessica swims back to shore. Then she runs around on shore like a panicked puppy dog flipping out while everyone tries to calm her down. Liz has flashbacks to the Club X days and begs Jess not to do it. He’s so bored, in fact, that he dares Jessica to swim out to a buoy and back. He thinks about how bored he is because Andrea was too easy of a conquest. He’s at the party with her, making out with her in a sand dune and snapping at her for hinting at any kind of commitment from him. In book 94, we saw Bruce beginning to hook up with Andrea Slade. Thankfully, Tony is patient and kind to Lila, although when he tries to kiss her on the cheek at the end of the night, she runs inside and slams the door in his face. The book actually says “date-raped” so I kind of want to give whoever this ghostwriter is kudos for coming out and saying it, since I’m pretty sure they didn’t in the actual book where this occurred. Amy and Jessica talk about how Lila is still suffering from being nearly date-raped by John Pfeifer. She’s kind of an ass to Tony, to be honest, and every time he moves (at all) she flips out. But her attitude has changed she’s having a hard time letting go and having fun, and she is worried all the guys around her have ulterior motives like John Pfeifer did. Lila is at the party, too, with Tony Alimenti, the guy she was flirting with back in She’s Not What She Seems. Liz and Jess waste no time snuggling up to their respective significant others, Todd and Sam. I have to say that these kids are some of the most well-behaved teenagers on planet Earth, even just drinking plain old soda. The twins hit up the beach party, which sounds like it came straight out of the 1950s with kids doing the twist around a bonfire. “Jungle Prom” is just the name the girls came up with. What’s interesting to me is this doesn’t sound like the prom will be the high school’s “real” prom. Jess loves the idea and adds that they can get the new environmental group Liz has been talking about, Environmental Alert, to sponsor it and then donate the proceeds from the tickets. Liz suggests the twins put together a “Jungle Prom”, and the idea comes off as cheesy in the book as it sounds on your screen. I take my joys where I can find ’em, and right now that’s in the pages of this 345-page book! Let’s get into the winding plot of SVH’s third Magna Edition and the one that changed it all …Įlizabeth and Jessica are getting ready for a big Sweet Valley High beach party and talking about how it’s been a while since Sweet Valley had any big fun dances going on (or fun at all, if you ask me). I’m trying to act like I’m not excited about this, but am already failing miserably! Hey, I’m currently stuck indoors with a bad cold. I have never read this book or any of the ones that followed, so this is truly a brand new journey for me. The “original” SVH format is officially over, and now, here we are in June 1993, the time when the highly hyped A Night to Remember was released and the series took a major soap opera turn. …WOULD RESULT IN SOME UGLY PHOTOS FOR POSTERITY.
