I've decided that I'm going to do a review of the Sweet Valley senior year series. Starting with how I feel about characters, plots, and things like that. Then I might review just the books themselves.
First of my list.
Conner McDermott. Bad boy. Alcoholic/former alcoholic. Is in a serious relationship with one of the main characters Elizabeth Wakefield before having one with Alanna Feldman before realizing he still cares about Liz but they can't be together.
Things I love about him. He's into music. He's a bad boy. He really cares about his sister. He falls for Elizabeth.
Things I hate: He downright hated Elizabeth in the first four books. He was attracted to her but he hated her. In the fifth he got more friendly. In the sixth he acted like they were full on dating while Elizabeth pushed him away. In the seventh he pushed her away. Wtf? Then he sulks about it for four books instead of manning up. Only talks to her because he feels obligated. Then he falls in love and is all romantic til like three books later when he cheats on her. & Liz still believes he loves her. Like she realizes he loves her because he cheats. How fucked up is that? & then right after that he starts drinking and pushes her away some more. Real mature Conner. & he is with someone else in rehab but it's not okay for Liz to lean on someone else. Hypocrite. I just don't get it.
Overall: When I was younger, I loved Elizabeth and Conner. At times I remember why. At times I question it.
Next time I will do Jeremy Aames. I'll probably do it later today or tomorrow. Tell me what you think.
