 Let's recap again, just in case you missed any parts of this absolutely insane story! Sweet Valley High #107: Jessica's Secret Love Sweet Valley High #108: Left at the Altar   Sweet Valley High #109: Double-Crossed     Jessica throws herself at Jeremy because even though he literally just got caught making out with Sue, he came back for her! He has no time to celebrate though because, you know, Sue went missing. Jeremy shows them Sue's necklace as proof that someone took her.

  Nancy is less than enthused about a recent mystery involving her father. Carson is working on a case about a glowing eye and initially asked for her help but then turned to Marty, a new and pretty associate working for the firm. Nancy calls her friends and asks for help.

The new lovebirds go out like twice before Jeremy tells her that he has to leave town on a Project Nature assignment in Costa Rica. He promises that he'll only be gone a few weeks and when he comes back, he can transfer to their office in California. Before he leaves, he gives her an engagement ring, the same on that she picked out when shopping
