 I have no clue how I read these books so far out of order, but to recap: Sweet Valley High #107: Jessica's Secret Love Sweet Valley High #108: Left at the Altar     This book takes place after Jess interrupted Jeremy and Sue's wedding, so she's now temporarily living at Fowler Crest. Lila kind of thinks that the whole thing is romantic but wonders if her friend made the right decision.

  So this is one of the earlier books where Regina was still alive. Since coming back from Switzerland, all she can talk about is how much she loved it and how gorgeous everything was. When Liz hears about her experiences, she starts thinking that it would be the perfect place to study writing. Lucky for her, there's some fancy boarding school with a creating writing program. And even more luckily, they have a scholarship for girls exactly like her. In a poor attempt at being good parents, Ned and Alice decide not to tell her hell no right off the bat and instead wait for her to get more information. The packet comes in the mail with the news that she still has time to apply, not a ton of time but enough if she's willing to ignore everything else in her life. Can you see where this is going? This makes Liz decide that she should focus on nothing but herself in the coming weeks for once in her life (ha!). She constantly blows off Jeffrey, remember that poor guy? Thou...

Eric Parker is some dude who graduated from Sweet Valley High and now hosts a national talk show. He announced plans to have a real high school student on to talk about what life is like for the typical American teenager. The teenager he picks will be someone from Sweet Valley. Everyone goes overboard to fill out their applications and get picked. Jessica assumes that her only real competition is Lila. She asks for Liz's help with her application, especially the section on her hobbies and interests. It's lots of boys, shopping, and hanging out with not much else. Liz reminds her that she was a babysitter before and that she worked as a hospital volunteer, which is not something I would personally want to remember. Jessica gets annoyed when she sees that Lila left out all the information about her rich dad though. Liz also suggests that Jessica write an article for the paper. She comes up with an idea about bad dates, which Penny loves. Liz convinces her to chan...

This is the very first magna edition in the Sweet Valley High series and the first Secret Diary book too! It takes place between Todd leaving for Vermont and Liz hooking up with Jeffrey, for the first time if you count their relationship in Sweet Valley Senior Year. So, Liz and Todd are making out in his room and on top of his desk when Ken calls. While they talk, she starts going through the papers to see what they were sitting on and finds a letter from this chick named Michelle. It's full of little flirty jokes, including her calling him cute buns, which is absolutely scandalous. Michelle ends the note with kisses and wishes that he was still in Vermont. This sends Liz off the deep end. She seriously accuses Todd of cheating on her and waves the letter in his face as proof that he has some secret girlfriend back in Vermont. Todd is at first upset and then extremely pissed off that she would dare to read his private letters. They basically break up, though really, L...
