Review: Somewhat Disappointing Finale...
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 28, 2012
This final installment of this e-serial read as compulsively as the first five, but I have to say I was quite taken aback by the cliffhanger. This is a huge cliffhanger and it almost invalidates all the previous reading I did to get to that point.  The Liam storyline was fine, I saw that coming from a mile away however I hate that it made things better with Todd and Jessica.  In my opinion these two as a couple just plain stinks.  And don't start me on the Lila storyline.  It could have been the most fun, true to form of the stories and yet it ended too quickly and in a completelly unrealistic way.  Sigh.  What should I expect?  This is Sweet Valley after all.  Back to cliffhanger one moment.  I am most bothered by the fact that in October the e-serial will be issued as a one volume novel.  There are no promises of future books, though I think its quite likely.  Leaving the story open like this is very dissatisfying.  Still I am such a sucker for Sweet Valley that I know I will be there holding out my money whenever there are any future releases.
