Sweet Valley University #28: Elizabeth's Heartbreak
by Laurie John
Well, folks, you can tell from the title that this volume of Sweet Valley University won’t be a happy one. Since it’s sandwiched in between the very sad previous book and the next book entitled One Last Kiss, you’re in for a bit of drama with the Wakefield twins and their friends.
Elizabeth’s titular heartache continues in this book, as the two men in her life, Tom and Todd, bandy her heart around like a tennis ball. This book feels like a continuation of its predecessor, with one small addition: Todd’s girlfriend gets some page-time in this book. And while you’re always supposed to be on the side of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, you can’t help but feel very sorry for Gin-Yung, since she’s completely in the dark about her boyfriend’s wandering affections. And, as you read her sections, you can tell she has another reason to be upset. It’s quite a build-up, and not a pleasant one, that’s only resolved during the next book. You’ll need your tissues for these three SVU books. I was usually partial to Jessica, the fun, flighty twin, but even my heart went out to Liz in her hours of need during these three books. Jessica’s part of the plot is rather silly, so it’s easy to focus on her other half for a while.
