We used to sneak into the back of the library to read this book when I was like 8 because it says "breast" in one random part. haha.

This book is amazing. The first true sign of how banana bonkers Sweet Valley really is. A high school pickup party?? Dressed as matching matadors?? So much face-punching!!

Another misleading title. It sounds like the whole book is going to be a sob story. No just the beginning. I loved seeing Jessica finally step up and mature in this one. Even if it is only out of guilt. Elizabeth seems to be undergoing a personality change for the worse. Was it in anger, arush from being alive or is something more serious wrong? I wanted to smack her, and even more so I wanted to beat the crap out of Bruce for what he pulls. He is awful in this! More so than normal! I wish someone had gone to an adult about what is happening but no. No one steps up. In fact the Wakefield parents are hardly in this. You'd think if your daughter was in an accident like she was you'd watch her like a hawk! But honestly this book pointed out how irresponsible these parents can be. There is a thing called too much freedom!

I loved this book where Liz and Jess's roles are interchanged once Liz recovers. Jess taking so much respobility is fun to see because it gives a strength to her character. She also clubs together with Enid and Todd, Elizabeth's support system to not just try to help her but also support them. Liz is outrageous!

I read this for a Facebook book club where we read and discuss 80s teen fiction. I devoured these like they were literal food as a kid. What I didn't notice at the time: all the grown ups are garbage and there is rampant misogyny. I'm only giving it three stars because in this one, Elizabeth basically turns into Jessica and reading about two Jessicas was just too much. I missed my earnest Elizabeth!

Coma victims have never been so hilarious.

Identical twins – Jessica and Elizabeth. Both as individualistic as characters of a book ought to be. Where Jessica is the hot shot cheerleader material, Elizabeth is the shy nerd who aces all tests. Due to an unfortunate incident, Elizabeth falls into coma. Now Jessica can’t help but feel guilty, as she repeatedly blames herself for her sister’s condition.Day after day she sits by her sister’s bed wishing for her betterment. Hoping that she would soon wake up from this unconscious state.
Elizabeth’s boyfriend Todd also repents deeply as he was driving the night of the accident and he was let off easy, unharmed. Out of the coma or not, Jessica and Todd are in for some surprises.
It was fun to read a chick lit after a long time. Francine Pascal has been one of my favorite authors since a long time. Its another typical teenage, high school read filled with drama, clothes, boys, bullying et cetera.
Jessica is a cheerleader who is so used to being in the spotlight that she finds it difficult to digest the fact that for a change, her sister is getting more attention than her. She is a loving sister but she fails to understand the impact, her actions have on others.Whereas Elizabeth is totally opposite. She is selfless and places others happiness before her own. She has her priorities straightened out and is very ambitious. Todd is a very kind and considerate boyfriend. His faith in their relationship is astounding and he is determined not to give up on Elizabeth. Its a very small book of only 160 pages and hence I can’t say much without revealing the whole story. So if you are in a mood for a girly, summer read then go ahead!
