A review by taracalaby
Dear Sister by Francine Pascal
This is basically the classic Sweet Valley High book. In which Liz is in a coma *gasp!* because she disobeyed her parents and rode on Todd's motorcycle.
Actually, she's only in a coma for the very beginning of the book. After that, she's busy parading around Sweet Valley acting like Jessica on Viagra. She tries to steal pretty much everyone's boyfriend, even her precious Enid's George, and ignores Todd completely. (To be fair, the latter is no real indicator of a head injury, because he is extraordinarily dull.)
Of course, the most famous scene is the one where she lets Bruce feel her up a little. Bruce is big on the dub-con in this one. He's always trying to fill Liz with enough wine to lure her into his bed and, let's face it, it's basically impossible to give informed consent to sex while suffering from a personality-changing head injury anyway.
This is also one of the many books where Todd gets punch-happy. He knocks Bruce out cold, which seems a bit stupid given that the Patmans probably have 137 lawyers on retainer at any given point in time.
Most importantly, this is one of the few books where Liz is genuinely interesting—and it's because she's not acting like herself for most of the book!
Moral of the Story? Riding motorbikes may lead to being groped by Bruce Patman*
Key Characters: Elizabeth, Jessica, Todd and Changling-Elizabeth.
* Unfortunately, this result is not guaranteed.
