Sweet Valley High Senior Year #27

by Francine Pascal

While members of Sweet Valley High's senior class are wrestling with first loves and dating, Will Simmons vows to get revenge on Ken Matthews for stealing his place on the football team and his girlfriend, Melissa.

Maybe Ken thinks I wasn't paying attention when he took my position on the football team, my college scholarship, my girlfriend...my whole, ENTIRE life.

Guess what, Ken?
I was.

About the author

Francine Paula Pascal was an American author best known for her Sweet Valley series of young adult novels. Sweet Valley High, the backbone of the collection, was made into a television series, which led to several spin-offs, including The Unicorn Club and Sweet Valley University. Although most of these books were published in the 1980s and 1990s, they remained so popular that several titles were re-released decades later.

Reviews

[Sheila Read · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read so many of these books I can't remember all of them.

I don't have this one 😭

[Winna · Rating 2 out of 5]

I kind of like how the ending turns out. Will is a jerk, but he's vulnerable. And he does lose everything, while Ken is more sensitive and kind.

Beginning to see traces of Melissa's manipulative side. Hmmm.

More on Jade and Evan too.

It's a good light read.
