Special Christmas

pick

This is a fun SVH Christmas book. Todd is still in Vermont & is coming to see Liz over the break. But she‘s not sure if they still have that spark anymore. Meanwhile, Suzanne Devlin, who terrorized Liz & her friends the last time she visited, is coming for Christmas. She says she‘s changed & is sorry & wants to make it up to everyone, but Jess doesn‘t buy it. She comes up with some pretty mean pranks to try to get her to leave. But Suzanne has ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 A secret: she has multiple sclerosis & doesn‘t want anyone to know. One of Jess‘s pranks backfires badly when Suzanne mixes champagne & her experimental medication & she wrecks the Fiat. Oh, & she & Todd kind of have a thing for each other & Liz gives her blessing in the end. Oh oh, & she doesn‘t actually have MS, the doctors misdiagnosed her & she will be fine. I expect nothing less from Sweet Valley. 😆 4⭐️ 80 points 11mo

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS have you read this one? I was shook when I got to the part where the twins, Steven & Suzanne are getting ready to leave for a Christmas party & the Wakefield Parentals gave them a bottle of champagne! I have zero recollection of that lol. Don‘t remember them ever doing something like that 😳 11mo

TorieStorieS I haven‘t read this one in probably 20 years!! And while I do remember Suzanne Devlin, I totally don‘t remember the champagne!! 🍾 🤯 11mo

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I had only read it once before, 8 years ago when I was doing my SVH read-through, and I really don‘t remember that. I guess it‘s just a plot device, because Suzanne crashed the Fiat after drinking the champagne mixed with her medication. It was just so weird seeing the Wakefields nonchalantly leave their kids a bottle of champagne 😆 11mo

TorieStorieS Finally made it to this one! Overall, there has been more drinking than I remembered, but I guess this part of the 1980s were pre-DARE? 🤷‍♀️ 3w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS DARE! Ahh, memories. I remember them coming to my elementary school several times 😆 I still think it‘s funny because I don‘t remember the Wakefield Parentals ever being so chill about alcohol in any other book but this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Poor Liz gets sloshed and wrecks the jeep after one cup of Everclear so I guess they had their reasons! 😅 3w

TorieStorieS I think Lila served wine at her costume party where Liz is still out of her mind post-motorcycle accident (or maybe Bruce just had some in his car?). And there was definitely beer brought by college guys when the Wakefield parents are in Mexico… but yes, Liz is definitely a lightweight!🤣 3w
