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 4d

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 😳 4d
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!! 🍾 🤯 4d
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 😆 4d

Suzanne Devlin comes back to Sweet Valley for Christmas and Jessica tortures her the whole time. Lol. Sorry about the barcode over Jessica's face.
