So when Elizabeth’s boyfriend Todd drives up on a shiny new Yamaha, she knows there’s trouble ahead. She’s not allowed to ride Todd’s bike, but other girls are—and do. Elizabeth loves Todd, but the sight of these girls with their arms around her boyfriend is making her mad with jealousy.
Todd says there’s nothing to be worried about, but Elizabeth is scared of losing him. Will another girl come in an swoop Todd off his feet? Will Todd’s new bike tear him and Elizabeth apart?
Dangerous Love Q&A
WARNING: SPOILERS
1. What would your 12 year old self have rated this book?
Four stars. The suspense would’ve driven my rating.
2. Would you want your 13 year old to read this?
I don’t have any reservations with controversy with Dangerous Love, so sure!
3. How do you think adolescents today would feel about this book?
I think that, having read the first six books, it’s pretty obvious that kids nowadays would say this is a corny book.
4. What’s different about life in this story compared to today’s life? (i.e. social, technological advances)
Other than the talk of the older vehicles (and a purple van–wow), the obvious thing that is different here is the fact that communication nowadays is so much different when someone is in an accident. With the advent of cell phones, people are in the know about major accidents in no time at all.
5. On p. 75 Elizabeth suggests to Jess that she wear a green polka dot dress to Enid’s birthday party. Find a duplicate and post it.
6. On p. 77 Jessica doesn’t take Elizabeth’s advice and instead chooses a black and white satin jumpsuit with spaghetti straps. Find and share a duplicate.

We’d love to have you join us as we read the Sweet Valley High series! Next week’s review will cover Book 7, Dear Sister!
Sweet Valley is stunned by the news: beautiful young Elizabeth Wakefield is in a coma after a terrible motorcycle accident. Everyone waits with bated breath for any change in her condition, especially Elizabeth’s boyfriend Todd, who was driving when accident happened.
But there is no one more upset than Elizabeth’s twin, Jessica. She keeps watch over unconscious body of her sister, desperately hoping she’ll recover. What if Elizabeth never wakes up? Or worse…what if Elizabeth wakes up changed?
This brings back memories of when my mom bought “sweet valley high” books and “sweet valley twins” books for me and my twin sister.
It has been an interesting blast through the past! 😁
