This one was a lot of fun! Jessica literally runs into this cute guy, Josh, at the roller rink. They flirt & exchange numbers. Turns out Josh is 16 (Jess is 12!) & the only one who knows is Lila, who helps cover her tracks when she goes on a date with Josh. For their 2nd date, Josh says it‘s a surprise. Jess has gone to great lengths to concoct an imaginary weekend getaway with her friend, Kerry, & Lila even impersonates Kerry‘s mom for Mrs. W.⬇️

JenlovesJT47 On the phone. The whole family is sad Jess won‘t be there with them to go to the circus that weekend. Meanwhile, Josh picks up Jess for a double date with his cousin Megan & says the surprise is that they‘re going to the circus(!). Things get further complicated when they go to pick up Megan‘s date and Jess is mortified when they pull up at Casa Wakefield and her big brother Steven comes out. I love Jessica shenanigans & this was a fun one. 4⭐️ 1mo
TorieStorieS When Steven gets in the car, it‘s just too funny! I don‘t have an older brother but I would want one like Steven, even when he can be a jerk! 🤣 1mo
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS he was surprisingly chill, for Steven! 😄 1mo
TorieStorieS I know!!! He can be a good big brother to offset his mischief and general teasing!🤣 1mo

While at the roller rink with Lila, Jessica literally bumps into SVH junior Josh Angler. She flirts with him… and lies about her age, claiming to be 14 and a half rather than her actual age of 12! She must keep the romance a secret— luckily Lila covers for her. But Josh isn‘t quite over his ex— Anita Pearce. This one really brings that classic Jessica fun to it— especially when it all blows up in her face! It‘s the first #SecretSweetValleyRomance!

JenlovesJT47 This one was hilarious, I‘d never read it before. Sounds like something that would happen to me if I was ever as ballsy as Jessica 😆 1mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I know!! As a child there were definitely a few occasions where I mustered my inner Jessica Wakefield! But this is definitely a fun one!! 1mo
