5.0 out of 5 stars Warning: This Book is Addicting! GREAT!, September 9, 2004

This review is from: What Your Parents Don't Know...(Sweet Valley University #3) (Mass Market Paperback)

I couldn't put this book down! Jessica moves in with Mike, and Steven is furious. Elizabeth starts dating William White, but she can't stop thinking about Tom. Celine and Elizabeth are still at each other's throats. Winston is going through fraternity hazing- and it's horrible! Overall, a great book! I think that it's really interesting about Jessica & Mike. P.S The Thetas, the sorority Jessica is pledging to, hates Mike, so Jessica has to hide the fact that she lives with him. When she skips meetings to hang out with him, they get mad!

4.0 out of 5 stars Part funny, mostly intriquing..., September 22, 1999

This review is from: What Your Parents Don't Know...(Sweet Valley University #3) (Mass Market Paperback)

When is Jessica going to grow up & realize that being an "adult" doesn't mean falling for a "real" guy & moving in with him when you hardly know him? If I were in her shoes, I'd be figuring out what she wants to do with her life careerwise. But it's too bad that she doesn't give it a thought & thinks college life is about parties, guys, & fun & games & ridicules Liz for being too studious. It's good that even though Liz is homesick, she gets on with her schoolwork & starts mapping out a career plan for herself. Unfortunately, Francine shouldn't be so quick to hook Liz up with another boyfriend so quickly when Liz is still recovering from Todd. I think Liz ought to be single for a while & just have a circle of friends. It's great though that Liz has the part-time job at the news station. Speaking of jobs & responsibilities...I wondered if by the title, are the parents of the characters footing the whole tuition or do the students contribute at least part of the tuition?

The parts about Winston made me laugh. Poor Winston is trying to fit the image of the "real" male & trying to get into the campus' "cool" fraternity, but the guys there are giving him HELL. I get the feeling that the "cool" guys secretly were jealous of free-spirited Winston. The part about Winston's hangover was funny the way it was described. I kind of like Winston; it's too bad that Jessica & her friends ridiculed Winston as a "nerd" in high school just because her doesn't fit the "cool" image. I'm glad Denise liked him & accepted him the way he was. In some ways, he's a bit like Abby Stevenson from the BSC series & Beth Barry from the Fab Five series...funny & dramatic.
