4.0 out of 5 stars Teen drama cover and back should not put you off this story!, January 15, 2002

By	"cat-girl" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

Yes it's a teen drama but it is still pretty good.Although this cover they are showing you is not the original and it looks hideous!!
Basically these are some of the storylines included:
Jessica:Does a twin switch with Elizabeth and ends up meeting Jeremy who she really likes but is scared to go out with him because she thinks he find out about her reputation and ditch her.(yeah,right!)
Melissa:Really wants to be cheerleading squad captain.Doesn't get it and is gutted(this happens at the end of the book and is continued in the start of the next one.)
Jeremy:How he worries about lying to his friends and Jessica.
Tia:Hilarous part when she bashes Melissa because of what she did to Jessica in So Cool(no 3)
Will:Finally realising he feels suffocated by the manipulative ball and chain.Ditches her twice in the book.Hurrah!
Elizabeth:On a mission to kiss Conner.Pathetic as it sounds.
Though it is pretty funny when she gets dumped in the pool.
Maria:Trying to get Conner back.Not suceeding very well.
I hope I didn't spoil any storylines.

I quite like this book.The parts in between chapters are good as you can really get into the way a character is thinking.I like the change of characters but it makes me wonder how they're going to fix everything up for university.I think they've started doing that because Megan liking Todd has brought him back into the story and Enid is already becoming distant so it doesn't matter about her storyline.
Although they will have to mention Winston,Lila,Todd and Enid more in the later books won't they because of Sweet valley university?
This review is to let you choose if this will be your cup of tea and hopefully it will help you make a decision on whether or not you want to read it.
Happy reading:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fourth Books in the SVH Senior Year Series, June 3, 2002

By A Customer

In "I've Got a Secret", a new character is added to the storyline: Jeremy Aames, a Big Mesa football player and your typical "good guy". He and Jessica Wakefield inevitably hookup when Jessica and Elizabeth trade places at each other's respective work sites so each twin can have some time off--Liz to her Silver Chair concert with Conner, Tia, Maria, Angel, Andy, and Evan (Liz, of course, is still after Conner, but now so is heartbroken Maria); and Jess to her dreaded football game between Big Mesa and Sweet Valley. Obviously, with any identity switch the twins make comes disaster--and it looks like one or both of them will get fired from their jobs at House of Java and Healthy.

"I've Got a Secret" is a great fourth addition to the Sweet Valley High: Senior Year series. It was worth seeing Jessica get a little slack--having Melissa Fox get in some trouble, and Jess finally meeting a guy who was single and didn't have a jealous, psychotic girlfriend lurking nearby.

-Jess meets a new guy (page 85).
-The cheerleading captain is announced (page 147).
-Will decides to break up with Melissa (page 161).
-Will decides not to break up with Melissa (page 167).
-Jessica gets fired (page 172).

Enjoy!! :)
