Double Love Bonus Written Recap: SVT Special Edition – Big For Christmas
It’s the last day of school before Christmas holidays! Hooray! Jessica is at a meeting of The Unicorn Club at Janet Howell’s house, where Janet is laying down the law about a Christmas party that she’s hosting. Now, for those unfamiliar with the Twins series, the Wakefields and their pals are all around twelve, The Unicorn Club is basically the tween version of Pi Beta Alpha, the Sixers is the Oracle equivalent and this Janet girl is allegedly Lila’s cousin and the most popular girl in Sweet Valley Middle School. She’s rich and snobby but has none of Lila’s swagger, basically. Also she’s in eighth grade so I believe she’s a year or two ahead of the twins which is why she’s nowhere to be found when the twins are in high school, or maybe Lila had her killed, there’s really no way of knowing. Jessica thinks about how much she loves Christmas and notes Janet’s particularly festive outfit of a “fitted red, green and gold vest” with a short red swingy pleated skirt and a low-slung red leather belt with a gold buckle. Janet reveals that her older brother Joe will be hosting the party alongside her and inviting his friends from school too, so there will be HIGH SCHOOL BOYS at this party, which takes the excitement levels up a few notches and causes the girls to all start squealing and dancing around the place.
