No Rules

Sweet Valley University #48

by Francine Pascal (Creator), Laurie John

Riding on the freeway of love...

What's the wildest contest ever? California's Coast-to-Coast Road Trip Challenge--and it's putting $5,000 scholarships in the winners' pockets! Elizabeth is beyond psyched when she's picked to compete.  Her teammates totally rock--except for slacker supreme Sam Burgess.  He's cocky, egotistical, and party-crazy.  The kind of guy Elizabeth hates...falling in love with.

Jessica Wakefield can't believe she's stuck on the same road-trip as Tom Watts and Todd Wilkins!  How repulsive.  Her only salvation is gorgeous Neil Martin.  He's witty, sophisticated, intelligent, and best of all, single.  Jessica's dying to have her wicked way with him.  What could possibly stop her?

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.

I loved this book as a kid and actually really enjoyed rereading it.

What a super fun one! I love all the places they go... any book that involved a road trip is A-Okay with me. And I’ve actually been to Wall, South Dakota and Vegas now, so it was great to read about that. All the people on Jess and Liz’s team blur together. But basically Jessica wants Neil, but he’s gay. Liz wants Sam, but he’s an asshole. Tom wants Liz back, but she wants nothing to do with him. Todd doesn’t really care either way and just wants to get away from his suffocating girlfriend Dana for a little bit. This kicks off the series before the sophomore year of college hits, and we get those new book covers and the new additions of Sam and Neil and others. Really the most boring of the SVU books, but this summer trilogy is fantastic and way better than the past two Lifeguards trilogies.

After reading so many of them, one of my more memorable ones. Ah memories!
