Review: And Bittersweet It Is To Love This Series...

This concluding segment ofThe Sweet Life: The Serial (Sweet Valley Confidential)ties up the majority of the plot points. Yes, there are some predictable conclusions to be found here - after all, this is Sweet Valley - but there is plenty of excitement, too. And the ending! Wow - with an ending like that, it really feels like old times - though it would have been nice to have that bold, italicized text giving you the name of the next book! Still, I hope that information about the continuation of the series is released soon! Lila's portrayal is particularly harsh here  - she may have also been jealous and manipulative, but she was never this heartless or cold, so hopefully she will be represented in a warmer fashion in the future. Oh, and I guess Sweet Valley does still hate fat people after all, since as Lila put it, it would have been better to be a single mother than to be fat... So there's some consistency there, I suppose. Either way, I really enjoyed this nostalgic return to my childhood - and I can't wait for the series to go on and on!
