Wrong Kind Of Girl (1984) - Plot & Excerpts

I definitely have never read this one before. It was pretty good, but nothing great. I feel like the only reason why Jessica has it out for Annie is because Annie is so similar to Jessica. Subconciously, Jessica probably feels threatened by Annie. Story of my life right now hahaApparently Annie had no idea what people were saying behind her back, which I find hard to believe. There's gotta be jerks who call her "Easy Annie" to her face. I mean, there would be in a normal high school.It kind of makes me sad that Annie's been going out with all these popular guys, mostly jerks who just want to get laid, when all she wants is a meaningful relationship. She's just going about life the wrong way.Jessica gets off way too easily. She essentially bullies Annie (because yes, exclusion is now a form of bullying) and causes her to commit suicide. All Jessica has to do is sob and say that Annie is now on the cheerleading squad for everything to be put right again. Maybe I'm just petty, but if I were Annie, I would not be letting Jessica go so easily. Like jfc, what if Annie had actually died? This isn't the first time Jessica has potentially ruined someone's life, and we're only 10 books in! Yes, it always works out in the end, but just once I'd like to see it come crashing down around her and for shit to get real and her have to face some real consequences.There was no real subplot in this one. Elizabeth works to help Annie get her grades up and comes to her own conclusions about Annie and her life. Omg Johnny, Annie's mother's boyfriend, was the creepiest guy ever. I would've loved to have seen more of him and Annie's homelife. You totes know that he creeps into her room at night and touches her.

Source: I read this online via OpenLibrary. Cost: Free Title: Wrong Kind of Girl Series: Sweet Valley High #10 Author: Kate William & Francine Pascal Overall Rating: 2.7 starsSigh. Again it's all about JESSICA. Can we actually stop with her narcissism yet? We get it, she's "perfect." But this time her evil scheme backfired on her when she got "Easy Annie" rejected from the cheerleading squad and Annie tried to kill herself. Of course as Annie lay, you know, dying in a bed, Jessica made it all about her. Playing her tiny violin until people gave her sympathy. Sigh again.I'm just over it.

What do You think about Wrong Kind Of Girl (1984)?

(view spoiler)[So guys, the moral of the story is that if you don't get your way, you should attempt suicide and things will all work out just as you want it.Honestly, I really dislike the way that they make out that Jess is entirely responsible for Annie's suicide attempt. I think it's really obvious that there are a lot of things in Annie's life that point to her not being happy. I also think it's pretty IRresponsible to have this kind of moral in a book that I first read in primary school. But hey, it's Sweet Valley ;p (hide spoiler)]

Jessica is once again trying to have everything her way. She is determined to not let Robin Wilson get on the cheer leading squad even though Robin was the best girl to try out. Robin has a bad reputation because she goes out with a different boy every night. Jessica doesn't want her bad reputation to ruin the squad. But Robin is trying to change. She gets serious on one guy and keeps her grades up. But Jessica is convincing the girls to vote against Robin getting in to the squad. Robin is depending on getting to be a cheerleader. What will she do if she doesn't make it through the cuts?

Annie, are you OK?So, Annie are you OK?Are you OK, Annie?You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal!If you scratch through the cover of this book, 'Wrong Kind of Girl', you find that the actual title is 'Jessica Wakefield is Jesus Christ.' Let's break this shit down:Annie wants to be a cheerleader more than anything in the world.There are rumors that Annie is an easy girl - just because she has boyfriends, mind you, not because she's actually had sex.Annie isn't aware of these rumors at all.Jessica claims that Annie would taint the whole squad if she were made cheerleader - truthfully, she's just competition for Jess. Because of that fact, Annie must die. And, in fact, she almost does.When Annie doesn't make final cut of the squad because Jessica rigs the vote, Annie swallows a bottle of pills in an attempt to kill herself.Jessica is pompous enough to assume that this attempt is all HER fault and promptly starts stealing sympathy away from Annie by constant self-flagellation. Jess knows that mostly Liz will talk her down and assure her how simply WONDERFUL she is and, of course, she does.Elizabeth is sickeningly loyal to Jessica. And it truly is sick. She brought on Annie's suicide as much as Jessica did, for Liz ALWAYS knows of her sister's schemes but never breathes a word to anyone. It took a boy who liked Annie to tell her the truth about the rumors. Also par for the course, Liz doesn't get angry at Jessica at all and the trouble she has caused.I still can't believe I actually liked either of these girls in my youth. They make me want to vomit violently and repeatedly. Shame on you, Francine Pascal.
