Sweet Valley University #27: Elizabeth and Todd Forever
by Laurie John
Hopefully you haven’t read the titles in the Sweet Valley University series in advance, otherwise you’d be very confused. Elizabeth Wakefield starts the series happy with her high school sweetheart Todd Wilkins, then gets dumped and falls in love with Tom Watts, then gets dumped and starts to fall for. . . Todd again. Why do they have to have such similar names?
As a female reader who has lived through a broken heart, I did feel tons of sympathy towards Elizabeth as she sobbed her way through the pages. Her twin Jessica had a bit of a fluffy plot this time around, and many of the supporting cast weren’t featured in this volume, but there’s still plenty to keep you entertained. However, since I’m not the biggest fan of either Tom or Todd, I wasn’t rooting for Liz to make up with either one. Todd tried to pressure her into a physical relationship before she was ready, and Tom was vicious and cruel. In this volume, he vacillates between missing Elizabeth terribly and going out of his way to hurt and humiliate her in public so she knows how much he hates her. He shows himself to be a despicable person who doesn’t deserve a second chance, but since there are thirty more books in the series, I’m not holding my breath that he’s completely out of the picture.
