\\#7 Dear Sister;
Rated: 5 out of 5 stars Plot: After the motorcycle accident Liz finally wakes up and to everyone’s dismay except Bruce’s, starts acting like Jessica. Jess gets a taste of ole responsibility and decides she doesn’t like it, taking a vow to never be responsible for one milisecond of her miserable little existence. Liz flirts with everyone at school. And I do mean everyone. From Winston Egbert to Mr. Collins. And the Wakefield’s have houseguests in the form of two young and very bland twins. Most Exciting Scene: Liz and Bruce in the beach house where they’re about to have sex. It would’ve been funny for her to have gone through with it, then bumped her head and turned back into Liz. And being naked with him when it happened. *le sigh* And it’s always fun to see Bruce’s nasty side. I wonder if when she was fighting her attraction to him in Almost Married she ever thought back to this episode and what a brute he acted like. Most Frustrating Scene: ...okay, so I sympathize with Jessica in this book, but then she goes back into being the same nasty person she’s always been, not learning anything from being put in her sister’s shoes, but I sympathize with her in this book. *deep sigh* It was frustrating when her parents were nagging on her about Liz. They’re both more than capable sixteen year olds. Just because Liz was in an accident they have no right to expect that Jessica can control her. Most Upsetting Scene: Poor Todd when he rides out to Liz’s rescue *again* to save her from the devious Max Dellon and his evil steel between his legs. He forces her into his stupid Datsun and takes her away to talk on a grassy ridge (I’m surprised it wasn’t Miller’s Point) and tries to talk to her. I feel bad for him because he was never even given a reason why she acted the way she did towards him. Most Entertaining Scene: Liz acting like Scarlett O’Hara at their pool party, forcing Jessica to the sidelines. I wish she’d done it more often. Most Ridiculous Scene: Todd riding to Liz’s rescue *again* with Max Dellon. Favorite Character in the Book: Liz. Just because it’s funny as hell to watch her act like her sister. Least Favorite Character in the Book: Ned and Alice. How blind can you be?!!! Additional comments: Oh boy. We have a few things going on here. I started this book six months ago and put it down when my fiance visited me and forgot about it. Finally picked it up again to finish it where I left off so I don’t really remember the first half of the book very clearly. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This was one of the first books I read when I was eleven and it was interesting to read it again, as I have a completely different take on the characters (maybe this book is the reason why I‘ve always seen Liz as a slut.) Moving on, it’s really nice to see Jessica forced into Liz’s position. Liz was being pure Jessica, going so far as to use her column to break up Ken and Susan and makes plays for Ken throughout the entire book (this is what we author’s call "foreshadowing"). And Jessica was kicked into the cleaning up Liz’s messes role. You’d think she’d learn something, but she doesn’t. Not a damn thing. In the next book she’s just as nasty as before. Oh, and there’s a little scene I wanted to include… Danny didn’t even bother looking at the twins again. He looked directly into Jessica’s eyes and said, "No way, Jess. I told you what I had planned for tonight. There’s no way I want an audience. I’m leaving." He started for the front door. Jessica was desperate. If Danny left, she was not only stuck with the twerps for the night, she would probably never get another chance to go out with him. "Danny, don’t go!" She grabbed his arm. "Please don’t go. It won’t be so bad. They’ll be in the backseat. We’ll still be alone in the front." "Whoopee." The look on his face was anything but friendly. "That’s not what I had in mind." "Danny," she said hesitantly. "I’ll make it up to you." "Make it up? How?" Jessica knew she was getting in deeper than she wanted to, but she couldn’t seem to stop herself. "Any way you want," she finally said. I wonder what he did have planned. ^_- And would Jessica have gone along with it? ^_- (would she *not* have). Which makes me want to introduce a new little…thing…that I’ve been including with these stupid reviews. According to the third-person omniscient narrator, Danny Stauffer can kiss better than any guy Jessica has ever dated. I guess that even means Bruce. ^_^ So I now present to you a work-in-progress, the Jessica Wakefield Kiss-O-Meter
…the rest yet to come. ^_^ Today's First Words
