I still feel Jessica had a good thing going with Ken, like she had with Sam. Of all the guy Jessica dated, I think Sam was the best boyfriend for her. I don’t know why at that ‘Jungle Prom’ they call it why Jessica did those things that ruined it for her and Sam, and then ruined her life with LIz for like 6 months. Too bad things worked out like that. Kind of ironic if Ken did die. But then Olivia wouldn’t have fallen for Ken if that happened. That is odd how she and Rod were dating when they broke up (I remember reading that one) and the she dates Harry. But then Olivia must’ve broke up with this Harry to date Ken.

ONe would think Jessica/Ken would’ve sat down and talked about what happened. I feel bad for the history of the Wakefield generations, you have one twin that’s good, but sometimes a goody goody and the other a general fuck up that messes up on good things. Where in the world have these generation of Wakefields gone wrong I ask?

I’ll bet that’s what Liz would do if she knew sex existed.

Because they don’t want to hurt their feelings, of course!

How a Wakefield twin thinks: “I can’t break up with Ken/Todd/Jeffrey/whoever because he loves me so much he’ll just die if he can’t be my boyfriend! It’s so much better if I cheat on him. There’s no way he’ll ever find out!”

The funniest part of this book, to me, is that Liz’s idea to stop the highschool wars is right out of an ancient Greek play called Lysistrata — only in Lysistrata, the women of the warring groups just withhold sex until there is peace.

I guess ghostwriting for SVH is the kind of job that ancient greek literature scholars get after they finish their cushy degrees? At least it pays.

What I never understand is why these girls can’t just call up their boyfriends and break it off when they fall so madly in love with surfers and warewolf wannabes.

Yeah, I think Jess was feeling a tad sensitive that day.

This. All of it.

You know if they’d stayed together, Jessica would have wound up cheating with someone else or, as Lorelai said, Ken would have died.

Well, offhand, I’d probably say that Jessica is at fault. Cory and Topanga may have fooled around with other people, but Jessica states about fifteen billion times in these books that she TOTALLY LOVES Christian. Her reasons for cheating on Ken is that while Ken’s an okay boyfriend, she doesn’t TOTALLY LOVE him like she TOTALLY LOVES Christian. Even if Ken had forgiven her for this, I doubt they would’ve made it. Or Ken would’ve died. Either/or.

So who is at fault for the Jessica/Ken break up, is it Jessica or is it Ken? why even break them up for when they had a great thing going! Even Cory and Toppanga fooled around with other people until they settled, why break Jessica and Ken up for? I say to me that was the beginning of the end of Sweet valley to break up a great couple, and then saddling Ken with Olivia later on.
