Product Description
Real-Life Question #1: It’s time to choose where you’re going to college. Ending up in the same place as your guy is:

What will Jessica choose?

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, June 12, 2001

By	"valsharadams" (Mechanicsburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews

Okay, this was like my favorite book in the Senior Year series so far. First Jessica. Damon Ross is applying to SVU (remember him from Junior High?) and wants to see Jessica. He doesn't realize that Jess is going out with somebody. Oh, by the way, Blue Spiccoli is at boarding school.It turns out in the end he has a girlfriend named Kimberly anyway. Jeremy breaks the bombshell that he wants to apply to U of Arizona for its archeology program. Jessica throws a fit because she wants them to go to SVU. Mr. Aames has major palpitations late in the book. On to Liz. She isn't really mentioned in this book except for a conversation about colleges with Jess. Conner/Alanna is the main storyline in this book. Even though it should be Jess/Jeremy, its C/A. Alanna hasn't given up drinking, as you see in one chapter. (Even with rehab?) Conner and Alanna have a picnic with a few friends as a "meet Alanna"-type thing. Oh, yeah, you find out Alanna's secret, too. But I won't spoil it for you. Tia and Andy go on their trip to NYC. (If you have no clue what I mean, read Meant to Be.) At first, they have to share a king-sized bed. But then they get another room for Tia, and everything's good again. They go to QTV studios and get on air. Late that night, they go to a comedy club. The first jokes are stale until SuperAndy saves the day! He has some excellent jokes, but I won't spoil it for you. Andy cracks them all up.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book was good, September 20, 2003

By	Swati "book545star" (Naperville, IL;Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews

In this book, Jess and Jeremy have to make decisions about College. Jessica realizes she wants to stay here in Sweet Valley while Jeremy wants to travel the country. While they are fighting, a character from the past shows up. As in SVJH. To find out who it is just read the book. Conner and Elizabeth have officially broken up after Conner finds out that Evan had a fling with Elizabeth during his absence. So he gets together with Alanna. Two recovering alchoholics should not get together. They are just baaaaaaaaaad for eachother. Actually, Alanna is bad for Conner. That is basically the plot of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, May 19, 2004

By	K (Somwhere, UT, USA) - See all my reviews

I don't know how Francine Pascal can write so many wonderful books. I really got into this one. But it didn't really have Maria and Ken in it at all. I was excited to head about them because they finally got back together, but this book was more about Jessica and Jeremy. But it was still great. I love all the senior year books!
