When the truth of Todd and Sarah's relationship comes out , has Jessica overstepped the boundaries with Liam ? Can Omitting the detail of her overnight stay with Liam ,help her to win Todd over or will her lies come out into the open and make matters worse ? The rape accusations just keep on coming , and Elizabeth after doing some investigating of her own starts to doubt whether partner Bruce is giving her a true account of what happened that night ? Who is lying - is it Bruce or Robin - the victim ? Will Elizabeth's judgement be clouded or will she be able to determine whether the rape is true or is it a case of lies and omissions being told ?
Lila, after the disastrous first episode of The True Housewives of Sweet Valley when Ken caught her putting him down as a bonehead football player and he walked out . Though this time , is the relationship between Lila and Ken over ? Can Lila let her guard down and tell Ken how she really feels for him or will this be one truth that must be omitted in order to not show defeat?
Another wonderful installment in The Sweet Life series and I look forward to reading the next six to come :)

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens.

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
