The moral of the story: No motorcycles! Motorcycles=death!
The Big Deal: Enidās sweet sixteen party
Synopsis:
For some reason Liz is afraid to tell Todd that she isnāt allowed to ride his new motorcycle. For once, Jessica is the voice of reason and tells Liz to just tell him whatās going on. She does and he understands. He offers to talk to Ned and Alice to see about getting the restriction lifted, but they say no. Todd promises them heāll never let Liz on the bike.
Todd starts giving rides to other girls and Liz gets jealous. She talks to Mr. Collins, naturally, who tells her she needs to talk to Todd about how sheās feeling. Guy Chesney offers her a ride to the Dairi Burger, and on the way there heās unexpectedly flirty with her. Whatās that all about? Anyway, Todd gets jealous when Guy and Liz pull up and wants to know what his girl is doing getting a ride from another guy. Hypocrite. Liz tells Todd she was jealous too and they have a good laugh over how silly theyāve both been.
Todd ends up missing Enidās sweet sixteen party and Liz is paranoid and angry. Then he finally shows up and tells her heās so late because he was working out a deal with Crunch McAllister. Heās going to sell his bike. At this point, the party has migrated to some rock club and itās so late that Liz has no way to get there except on Toddās bike.
So of course they crash. Crunch is out driving around drunk and hits them. The bike is totaled, Todd is limping and Liz is in a coma. The Wakefields are super pissed at Todd for letting Liz on the motorcycle, but Jessica tells them Liz would never have gotten on the bike if sheād gone back to give Liz a ride like she was supposed to. She realizes sheās been a crappy sister all this time and vows to change. Yeah, right. Weāll see how long that lasts.
The book ends with Liz still in a coma. Sad times.
Oh, also in this book, we find out Enid is only fifteen. Sheās been dating a college freshman. Nobody seems to think this is odd or weird or anything. This means that two years ago, when all that stuff happened with Enid and the drugs and stuff, she was thirteen. George would have been about seventeen. That aināt right.
Quotes:
It was going to be another gorgeous day in Sweet Valley.
Do we really need this affirmation in every single book? Is it ever not a gorgeous day in Sweet Valley?
He hadnāt even had the consideration to break the date in advance, and the more she thought about it, the more she realized that she was, in effect, being stood up.
Seriously? The boy is out on a motorcycle, a ādeath machineā as you like to call it, and youāre sure heās stood you up? I thought you were smarter than that, Liz.
The Cover:
Liz: OMG, this is, like, so totally awesome!
Todd: What? I canāt hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.
