2024 Nostalgia Re-readathon | SVH #109: Double-Crossed

Are wedding bells ringing for Jessica?

Jessica Wakefield is engaged! Now that she's put a stop to the wedding between Sue Gibbons and Jeremy Randall, Jessica has the love of her life all to herself. Or so she thinks. But when she catches Jeremy in a secret embrace with his ex-fiancee, Jessica gets suspicious...Is Jeremy as perfect as he seems?

Lila Fowler, the richest girl in Sweet Valley, has finally found the perfect guy. Robby Goodman is gorgeous, funny, and sophisticated. There's just one problem. He's poor. Will Lila's plan to make Robby into a millionaire save their love, or end in disaster?

Thus starts the second half of this miniseries - we've moved from Scandal to Deception. We're also onto another ghostie, and the suspicion that all five of these books may have been written simultaneously grows, because there are inconsistencies that just don't make sense.

( Oh, Jessica, please believe him when he shows you his true self )

There's a lot going on here, very little of it good, and I just wanted to shake Jessica at the end and tell her to believe the man Jeremy is showing her that he is. Apparently it's going to take another whole book of nonsense for her to actually do this, and I don't know if I have the patience for it!
