Poor Liz.., March 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: College Girls (Sweet Valley University(R)) (Paperback)
I really liked the way the book managed to convey Liz's feelings about moving away and starting over at University. I didn't like the fact that Jessica was acting inconsiderate, I mean I know she can be a bit rude but, it was nasty of her to move in with Isabella rather than stay with her own sister. It also annoyed me that Enid felt the need to change her name just so that she could be 'cool'. I think she was pretty ungrateful to Liz after all Liz had done for her during her time at SVH. If you ask me, Liz is better off without her anyway. Todd just irritated me, and I was so glad to see the arrival of sexy Tom Watts. I loved the chemistry between him and Liz - they definitely make a great team. Todd deserves airhead Lauren. Liz's roommate Celine is so funny, I loved her 'drama queen' persona. But, I have to admit that if I lived with her, I probably would have strangled her. Alison Quinn is also irritating as well - snobby witch. You just know that she's out to make trouble for the Wakefields - especially Jess. I was disappointed to see that some of my favourite characters were missing but, I'm sure they'll soon turn up at some point or other in the series. I highly reccommend this series. I also agree with the other girl, those 'twins' on the covers just look funny. Ha,ha - I love their dress sense! NOT.

Sweet Valley University #1: College Girls, January 19, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: College Girls (Sweet Valley University(R)) (Paperback)
The Wakefield twins are now 18 and moving out of their house to take residence at Dickenson Hall on the Sweet Valley University campus. For the five Sweet Valley High graduates (Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, Todd Wilkins, Enid Rollins, and Winston Egbert), college is a whole new world filled with endless possibilities. But for Elizabeth, it means disappointment and abandonment. First, her twin sister, Jessica, moves out of their dorm to become roommates with a rich, popular sophomore (Isabella Ricci), who is basically a replacement for Lila Fowler, Jessicas high school friend. Then Elizabeths boyfriend, Todd, starts pressuring her to put out or else. And to top it off, her best friend, Enid (aka Alexandra), doesnt want anything to do with her because of her new image.
Then theres Winston, whos stuck in an all-female dorm because of a computer mistake that has him listed as Winnie instead of Winston. For most guys, this would be a dream come true, but for Winston, its a total embarrassment and a major problem since hes trying to impress the Sigmas (a fraternity), and he cant do that with a dorm full of girls calling him Winnie and basically humiliating him.
During the whole process of registration and moving in, more than a few students develop mad crushes on each other. Jessica, for one, stirs things up by dating a black student (Danny Wyatt) who has one too many enemies; and then she falls for another guy (Michael McAlley) who she meets by crashing into the back of his sports car. Next to fall in love is Enid/Alexandra, who ends up "sleeping" with the guy shes just met. And then theres Elizabeth, who is secretly being watched by an admirer.
"College Girls" is the first book in yet another Sweet Valley series: Sweet Valley University. About a handful of the old Sweet Valley crew make appearances, such as Bruce Patman, Steve (the twins older brother), and Lisa Fowler, but it looks like this series will mainly spotlight Elizabeth, Jessica, Enid, Todd, and Winston. (...) Recommended for Sweet Valley fans.
