Lila's Story

Although Lila Fowler is nothing more than a spoiled, rich snob, "Lila's Story" was one of my favorite Sweet Valley High books as a kid. It was also the first of three other Super Star books that spotlighted certain Sweet Valley characters, like Todd Wilkins, Olivia Davidson, and Bruce Patman.In this one, Lila grows resentful over her father's new girlfriend, Joan Borden, and her 15-year-old daughter, Jacqueline. Lila thinks they're both gold diggers--which they are--but everyone--her father and friends included--seem oblivious to this. But not only are Joan and Jacqueline not what they appear to be, but Lila's new boyfriend (Evan Armstrong, a car racer she stole from his longtime girlfriend--with the help of Bruce Patman) has a surprise of his own for Lila, which involves Jacqueline.As I mentioned before, Lila is certainly cold-hearted, but that's what I liked about her in this book. She was ruthless and punished anyone who took advantage of her, not that she would admit that they had, of course.I did notice a minor goof in this book, though. Did anyone else notice that Jacqueline borrows Lila's car--but the girl is only 15 years old?

If you like Lila this a great book to read
