Young Adult Revisited

This is the book that made me scream, “god, you two are such little bitches!” more times than I would like to admit. Despite the fact that she's a minor and oh the daughter of the richest man in town , the cops take Lila immediately to the police station. They book her, take her fingerprints, and then throw her in a cell with a woman with way too many tattoos. Lila cries a lot and worries about what's going to happen to her. She also spends a lot of time staring at the ceiling and silently begging Steven for help. Steven somehow comes up with the cash to bail her out of jail. He wants to spend some alone time with her and talk about the case, but all Lila can think about is going to the spa. They have a huge fight that ends with her telling him to take her home so she can change. She makes it clear that while she loves spending time with him and really does want to talk, only a spa trip will make her feel better. When he heads to work the next day, the DA ...

Even though the last book ended with Jessica feeling all disgusted at her best friend for making out with her brother, she's now furious. She's so furious that Elizabeth drags her upstairs before she can explode. Jessica promptly goes off on Lila for being a terrible friend after everything she did for her. Liz points out that (a) all the clothes they bought are currently in Jessica's room and (b) Lila doesn't even know about the photo album yet. Jess agrees to calm down and wait before saying anything. Once they finish kissing, Lila goes back to being afraid of what might happen to her. She asks Steven if he really believes that she's innocent. He says he does and believes that up until going to work the next day. The DA, who I'm guessing George picked on when they were kids, refuses to believe that anyone else could have started the fire except for Lila. He basically tells Steven that she's guilty and accuses him of being turned by a pretty face...

I have no idea what is in the Sweet Valley water supply, but it's something not good! See, Lila just got a phone call from Bo. They went from talking on the phone all the time, having disgustingly cute phone dates where they watched the same movie while on the phone together, and sending each other love poems to hardly talking. That did not make Bo dumping her any easier though. He thinks they grew apart and that they should date people on their own coasts. Because yeah, it's so hard for two rich kids to find time for each other. Lila starts acting down all the time, not John date rape down, but still pretty down. She doesn't even want to go shopping with Jess or see a new movie. All she wants to do is mope around the house. In the hopes of getting over Bo, she decides to burn all the love letters he sent her before falling asleep in front of the fireplace. When she wakes up, the house is on fire! Steven is coming back to town because the ghostwrit...
