Fluffy books

Okay book reviews –

Sunset Kiss by Cherie Bennett – Written in 1991.  One way to tell this?  Carrie tries a totally stylish outfit of a neon orange t-shirt dress artfully ripped and closed with safety pins and coordinated with pink, lavender and yellow eye shadow.  Whoa!  This is when I realize I’m glad I was to young to actually wear some of these fashions.  Though yes, I do like neon colors in small doses.  Okay, I like color.  Anyway back to the book, these are more grown-up than my traditional <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Sweet Valley books – the kids drink to some extent and talk about “going all the way”.  I’m not sure I don’t want my books more innocent for the crowd it was written to.  But this book takes place on Sunset Island which is how I would classify this as a fluffy beach read.

Boy Meets Girl by Francine Pascal aka Sweet Valley Senior Year #7.  Or rather the seventh book where I continue to wonder why Elizabeth and Maria keep chasing after brooding boy.  Who has an alcoholic mother, oh that explains why he’s so brooding.  Do I care?  And Jessica continues to love Jeremy but really really wonder about Will.  At this point, I like him, but as the series goes on we find out he needs a spine.  And that Melissa really needs a good shrink.
