Meanwhile, Steven decides to quit college and take a job on a ship. The Wakefield family is horrified, but Steven will not listen. They use reverse psychology, acting like they are happy to see him leave in hope that he will change his mind.
This is a very good book.
In Sweet Valley High #31, Taking Sides, Jeffrey French is a new student at Sweet Valley High. Enid has a crush on him, while Lila decides that Jeffrey is the boy for her. Liz helps Enid get to know Jeffrey, while Jessica schemes to keep Jeffrey interested in Lila.
Liz and Jessica's annoying younger cousin Jenny stays with the family. Jenny attaches herself to Jessica and to Jessica's current love interest. Jessica can't spend any time alone with him, and he even seems to like Jenny a lot.
My favorite scene in the book is towards the end when Liz is crying by herself on the beach. Jessica comes to her and comforts her, helping Liz to see that she does like Jeffrey. It's wonderful to see Jessica comforting her sister instead of scheming against her.
The early part of the story is rather annoying. Liz's behavior is stupid, but the story does become quite enjoyable once it becomes apparent that Liz has fallen for Jeffrey and doesn't even know it.
This is a very good book.
In Sweet Valley High #32, The New Jessica, Jessica is tired of people mistaking her for Liz. She dyes her hair black and adopts a sophisticated and vaguely foreign persona. Liz is crushed, feeling like she has lost her twin sister and that Jessica has rejected her. Can Liz get her sister back?
I enjoyed this book.

I loved The New Jessica when I was young. I wanted that white outfit with the white beret, described in the book that she wore the one day. It's terrible that that is what I remember about the book. LOL!
