About the book
Jessica Wakefield is on the loose in the city that never sleeps! Her horrible memories of boot camp disappear when she's shopping at exclusive Madison Avenue boutiques and partying at wild downtown nightclubs. But will she give up the high life in order to help her sister? With the off-Broadway debut of her play just around the corner, Elizabeth Wakefield hasn't a nail left to chew--because her lead actress is a disaster! Can she convince Jessica to step in for opening night? Tom Watts has finally found the journalism job he's been dying for. But now his boss wants him to review Elizabeth's play! Will Tom find a way to give it a thumbs-up? Or will he be forced to report the cold, hard facts? Join Elizabeth, Jessica and their friends as they seek out new thrills and excitement during their summer break from Sweet Valley University.
