Sweet Valley University #21: For the Love of Ryan
by Laurie John
It’s summer for the Sweet Valley college kids, and that means only one thing: lifeguard duty and summer flings and beach rentals and sun and sand—I guess it means a lot of things! These next few volumes in the Sweet Valley University series are fantastic; I actually read two in one day because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
Jessica, Elizabeth, Nina, and Winston have rented a beach house for the summer and hope to all get jobs as lifeguards, but with the handsome, hunky, hard-nosed Ryan as the lifeguard captain, not everyone will make it on the squad. And with perhaps the most interesting twist of the series so far, Elizabeth is goofing off, flirting, and acting irresponsibly—while Jessica is the dependable overachiever! It’s a genius plot twist, and Laurie John writes the role reversal incredibly well. Both twins are surprised by their own and each other’s behavior, and it makes waves, no pun intended, in everyone else’s summer fun, too.
There are a few new characters to get to know this summer in this book, and it’s easy to envelope them into the fold of the gang you already know. A few of the old standbys are missing, but they might come by for a visit sometime during the summer. After all, it’s a long summer. . .
