Next on the re-readalong is SVU's Dead Before Dawn, which centers on Bruce Patman. Prior to picking this up for the re-read, I remembered nothing beyond the cover and the title, which meant all I knew was Bruce has until dawn to save himself or he's gonna end up dead. 'kay, cool.

After re-reading it, I still have no real memory of it beyond maybe Bruce making multiple copies and each one being on different paper/combos, and even that's stretching it.

Quick(ish) Recap: for possibly the first time in his academic career, Bruce feels inspired to work his ass off in a class. He's writing a screenplay and has spent the last two weeks in a writer's frenzy, but has finally, finally finished his masterpiece. He's convinced it's Academy Award winning and wastes no time imagining how good it'll feel to go to the Oscars with Lila Fowler on his arm... only to promptly remember that oh shit, he's been a terrible boyfriend the last two weeks, blowing off dates left and right, and most doghouse worthy of all, he promised to call her back in ten minutes and that was last night. Dude is dead when Lila gets ahold of him.

Meanwhile, Lila and Izzy (her SVU replacement that I not so secretly love seeing teamed up) nearly get taken out by a 6'5" golden god of a Frisbee dude named Marcus, who immediately falls for Lila. They flirt and Lila coyly refuses to give him her number (because where's the fun in that?) and Izzy pretends to be scandalized since Lila has a boyfriend.

Bruce tries to apologize to Lila but she's not at her cute little off-campus apartment/cottage, so instead he opts to leave his screenplay at her door, only to have to chase off a flower delivery from Marcus. Naturally he finds the card, tears it up, and leaves the flowers so Lila will think they're from her boyfriend and not this new guy. Brilliant, what could possibly go wrong?

Bruce decides to head to class, since it's the one he's spent all that time on his screenplay for, and we meet the Professor he's actually motivated to work for. Dude has just come off an Academy Award win for his screenplay and is basically a celebrity. Honestly, it makes sense that Bruce would only try hard for a celeb, particularly one whose work he thinks he could also do. Bruce waits around and turns in his screenplay for The Victim in person and all but begs the prof to read it ASAP.

Until that happens, Bruce is a nervous wreck. He's delighted when he's called back to the office a few days later to discuss The Victim, only to find out that Prof WhatsHisName hated it to the point that he encourages Bruce to just write it off and try anew later. Bruce is heartbroken, so Prof WhatHisName offers a condolence glass of Scotch. Despite not liking Scotch, Bruce accepts but only drinks part of his glass before heading out to a bar to get absolutely shitfaced.

Because this book would be over in no time flat if Elizabeth was on the case, we've shipped her off for a trip for the week, leaving us with Jessica who is bored, bored, BORED because Liz is away, the Thetas are doing some fundraiser that Lila's on the committee for and she doesn't want to be involved in but she also can't spend all her time at the Theta House or it'll look too pathetic. So she jumps at the chance to hang out with Steven and his pre-law buddies, but in predictable Jessica fashion, she's running late. (I get it, her mani got wrecked and she had to fix it. Then the dryer broke and she had to borrow one from someone else. Time has no meaning when you're Jessica.)

By the time she gets to the Blue Lagoon, Steven and co are already gone, but she runs into Bruce, who had been drinking with Some Blond Guy from class whose name he can't recall, who dipped out before Jessica got there. Also, Some Blond Guy From Class might've killed his previous girlfriend, but Bruce isn't entirely sure; he just knows that SBGFC has a weird way with words and def knows more than he's saying about his ex's death.

Jess reminds Bruce she doesn't drink (reminding the reader that it's extra weird that Steven, whose entire first arc in SVU was about being stupidly overprotective, would be inviting his little sister to a divebar, to drink, in the first place when they're both underage, but I guess we had to remind people that Steven exists) and quickly realizes there's drunk, there's sloppy drunk, and then there's whatever Bruce is. So she tries to walk him home after being afraid he drove his precious Porsche there, but Drunk!Bruce decides he's gotta stop by his frat brother Jack Johnson's place because more drinks! Doesn't matter that no one in the frat likes Jack, there's gonna be a keg for sure! And there is, though Jess is surprised how many people did attend after all.

We get a moment where one of Jack's friends pinches Jessica's butt and because reading is hard, I initially thought drunk!Bruce was the one being a jackass and saying it couldn't have been the first time someone pinched her ass. In my defense, this is totally a thing SVH Bruce would've said and done. But drunk!Bruce sobers up enough to threaten Jack's friend and Jack to defend Jessica. Don't go giving him too much credit though as he almost immediately goes back to being so stupid and later, when sober, will be less heroic. There's the Patman we all know and root against.

Bruce walks Jess home and then promptly falls asleep on her floor. Jess tries in vain to get him to wake up but dude is ouuuuuuuuuuuut. There's a bit in the morning where she tries to convince him they spent a night of passion together but unfortunately for them both, Lila shows up and thinks the worst. She storms off and Bruce is too weak to go after her. Jessica figures this is for the best because Lila's more likely to listen to her anyway.

Speaking of Lila, she actually goes out with Marcus but every time this asshole opens his mouth, it's to neg her. He makes a comment about how, due to her figure, she clearly doesn't indulge in chocolate, he thinks she's far too wealthy to be into social causes, he's a little too impressed by her wealth and status, and when she doesn't want to extend their date because she's finally realized that she's still hung up on Bruce and what she's doing to him is worse than what he did to her, Marcus loses his goddamn cool. Lila refuses to get into his car again and runs back to the Cineplex to call around for a ride. But this is the night of Bruce's drinking, so her calls to him are unanswered and ditto for Jessica. If only there was a sorority house with a million members, half of whom you're friends with, Lila. Ah well, plots gotta plot and thrillers gotta work harder than most. Marcus is gone by the time Lila has the courage to look out the front door again. Dun dun DUN.

So. I know that it's pretty well known at this point that Thrillers take place in their own little world and rarely have any real interaction with the main storyline (with few William White exceptions), but this book goes out of its way to remind us that Jessica and Lila both hated Bruce in high school and that Bruce wasn't all that fond of them either, and was also a jackass of epic proportions that even he can acknowledge now. So it's weirder than hell that not once is Lila's experience with John Pfeifer mentioned and it's even WEIRDER later on when Lila's freaking out about the idea of Bruce dying that we're not reminded of her first husband, especially since this would up the stakes on why Lila would be extra panicked about the idea of losing another love so young. Throw in the part where we do reference how Bruce and Lila finally got together, and it's just baffling. These aren't even deep-cuts in SV lore- Lila is known for being the richest girl in SV and her active character development is kicked into high gear with the John arc, plus the second most well known SVH story was The Evil Twin and Lila's aftermath with John is ALL over that arc. This isn't like me nodding my head at Bruce knowing how to hotwire a car due to his Club X days and then being a little confused that Jessica didn't also know.

Oops, tangent. Anyway, Bruce finally gets up and moving, where he makes it home to find that Li left him some coffee and a cryptic note. He drinks the coffee and wonders why he didn't think of this foolproof hangover remedy, only to ruin it by having some stale toast and nearly puking his guts out. He finds himself nekkid on the bathroom floor, miserable and in desperate need of a shower, vowing to never drink again once the hangover has passed.
He does eventually power through and once more is on a mission to finally actually talk to Lila, only to not make it very far once he's outside, as the sidewalk rushes up to meet his face. When he wakes up this time, he's in the hospital where he finds out he's been poisoned. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN. And what's worse, if they don't figure out what the poison is, they can't give him the proper antidote and he'll be dead by dawn. Roll credits.

This is where things totally go off the rails as Bruce realizes he's living his own screenplay and when he tries to go to the cops, like Prof Whathisname suggested as a flaw in the story, Bruce realizes he's wasting time when the cops are more interested in Lila and Jessica. Y'know, because those are the only names you've given them, Bruce. Oi. Bruce sets off on his own investigation, where he immediately tracks down Jessica and threatens her in a way that is so red flaggy that not even saying it's the 90's and he's literally dying can handwave it away. But we're gonna try, I guess. It's kind of frustrating how vapid Jessica is for this as she's solved how many mysteries by now, and not all of them required Elizabeth to do the heavy lifting. But we need comedic relief and she does provide that, particularly when she gets to finally drive Bruce's precious Porsche... off a cliff.

Bruce suspects Jessica who slaps the shit out of him for that nonsense, then the two investigate Some Blonde Guy From Class who turns out to be Marcus (no, really?) and we learn that he was dating/engaged to the girl who killed herself a couple of years ago and remember Bruce thought he knew more about his ex's death than he was saying? Obviously he's the killer! Or was it Lila who spiked the coffee she left outside his door? No one believes Jack Johnson or his dumbass buddies did it, but I'd say they were more likely than Jessica. Anyway, Marcus leads Jessica and Bruce on a crazy car chase that involves the aforementioned Porsche off a cliff, hotwiring a car, and convincing a florist the two are siblings.

It is really thoughtful of this poison to act more like the countdown on a bomb than something that would likely worsen exponentially each time Bruce pushed himself past his limits, like running after someone, trying to choke them out (why is this everyone's go to this book?), being shot at, jumping out of a moving car right before it goes over a cliff, having to trek over brush and uncleared land to make it back to the highway... you get the idea. Super nice of the poison to remember the title of the book and not take Bruce out early.

Since I'm in my quibble stage, I'm also going to mention that it's weird as hell that Bruce doesn't just use his car phone for anything. Or cell phone. You know damn well the Fowlers and Bruce Patman had them by *checks date* 1997 (96 for the writing), especially since one of the ways we're usually shown that these two are stupidly rich is because they, unlike mere mortals, are not tied to having to be home for phone calls. Oh no, they have a cell and a car phone, you plebeians!

I can't believe I'm arguing for cell use. Weird.

Uh, anyway, I'm betting most people figured out right away who the killer was and why and even when because it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Yeah, ProfessorWhatsHisName can't write for shit, stole the dead girl's screenplay, won that award, and then trekked back to Academia at SVU where he's been losing his mind extra fast ever since. Matters were not helped when Bruce Spoiled Rich Boy Patman tries exactly ONCE in his entire existence and knocks it so out of the park that it probably hit the moon by the way the dudes in this book are acting. So he tries to poison Bruce, then goes around gathering the other copies of the screenplay and yet the 90's of it all comes roaring back because not once does anyone think about the copy on his computer. To be fair, I guess it's possible Prof broke into Bruce's apartment and killed the computer since I'm not sure Bruce ever checks on that after he prints his precious copies. He kills Marcus since Marcus figured out Prof killed Belinda and was likely going to blab to Bruce since he'd already admitted to stealing (and squandering) Belinda's money immediately after she died. How was he not the first suspect in the theft? Seriously?

I'm not sure if the neon lights pointing to the Prof were brighter than usual because the last book I finished before reading this also hinged on successful author steals work to build their empire on or if it's just because sometimes the SVU Thrillers really do just make it really obvious. Hell, maybe I did remember part and just didn't realize it, since as soon as we're told about Belinda and Prof winning the Oscar for his screenplay, I knew.

Anyway, Bruce obviously doesn't die, Lila and Bruce makeup before he's even found out whodunnit, and then Jessica saves the day when she talks Lila through her attack and lucks out that Prof WhatsHisName is a hack who has a favorite saying.

The book ends with Bruce promising that he's learned his lesson and that he knows what's truly important... but also encouraging Lila to find the prettiest dress because he wants the world to see him with the most beautiful woman in the world on his arm when they attend the Oscars.

Gag at the idea of Bruce having even MORE money. Almost as big a gag as when Bruce is sitting down to scribble out his will because he doesn't want his money being absorbed back into his parents' vast fortunes. Gee, Bruce, where do you think that money came from originally? That aside, like, it's sweet he wants to leave things to his friends, though I promise you, Bruce, Lila doesn't need more money.

This was stupid fun for the most part and I always forget how aggressively 90's the SVU books are. It's amazing. I love the detail of Jessica getting into this very sought after class but Elizabeth didn't (we find this out when Jessica gets Prof Whathisname to sign Elizabeth's copy of the screenplay, while neglecting to mention that she scoffed at Liz for paying for it to begin with) as that is a a fun callback to Jessica being a talented writer, when she tries. Which apparently she didn't in class, but she's the comedic relief so...

I know I already mentioned it, but I do love the Izzy/Lila teamup and wish we'd gotten more of that, either in this book or in the series in general. Also kind of impressed that Lila's off-campus housing is the same as it was in the Thriller we read last year maybe? Continuity! Also loved Jessica driving Bruce's car like a pro and having him admit he couldn't have done better but also still very much resenting not being able to drive at all. :p

Somehow, it just isn't a re-readathon without some SVU, even though we don't always read one every year. This one fell right in my sweet spot: mid-canon, Bruce/Lila ship sailing freely, and everyone is in character. This book is definitely helped by only have 3 main characters (Bruce, Lila, and Jessica Wakefield at her best), so the POVs were limited and the plot was able to move at a fairly lightning pace.

The novel opens with Bruce putting the finishing touches on a screenplay, a homework assignment for his new favorite class at SVU. He's worked on it for 2 weeks straight, neglecting everything and everyone (read: Lila) in order to finish it on time. He think it's really good and hopes his professor, Academy award-winning Dennis Gordon, will agree, and maybe even help him sell it in Hollywood.

Buoyed by such hopes, he scrambles to get ready for class, knowing he owes Lila a big apology for neglecting her. He decides to print a copy of his screenplay for her, so she can see what took his attention away from her. He runs out of paper halfway through, and has to use leftover pink paper from one of her earlier bright ideas. It amuses him, thinking she may appreciate a pink copy. His own copy is half white, half pink, and the one he'll turn in is white. The colors of the paper turn out to be very important.

Bruce tries to catch Lila before class, but she's nowhere to be found, and - even worse, in his eyes - some other guy is sending her roses. He is angry - who dares try to step in on his woman?! - and tears up the card that accompanies them, leaving his manuscript behind with the flowers as if it's one big gift from him. He hurries off to class, which he just happens to share with Jessica, who somehow made it into the ultra-competitive class over her sister. Jessica is excited about the class and the possibility of stardom via her association with the professor. She even gets him to sign a copy of his award-winning script for Elizabeth when she turns in her screenplay project. Adding to her interest in the class (and Professor Gordon) is the tragic story of Belinda Beringer, a former SVU student who was Gordon's prize student in years past. A new wing will be dedicated in her honor at the film school, and Jessica has Major Plans for that party.

Lila, meanwhile, is pretty steamed about Bruce's inattentions, so when a handsome blond man flirts with her on the quad, she decides that she'll consider going out with him, if only to show Bruce what he's about to lose. She is Not Impressed with Bruce's paltry offering of the flowers and a pink manuscript, and even less so when it turns out her new man, Marcus, actually sent the flowers and Bruce just took the credit. In a fit of pique, she accepts Marcus's invitation for a date, though she almost immediately regrets it. Is a 6'5" blond tennis player really worth throwing away her entire relationship with Bruce?

Bruce is so excited for Professor Gordon's feedback on his screenplay that he more or less consistently bothers him about it. He even sets up shop in the film school library while attempting to catch up on his other classes. He inadvertently leaves his pink and white copy of the screenplay at the library, though he doesn't realize it till later. Finally Gordon invites Bruce to his palatial office to give him his precious feedback - and Gordon pronounces that it's a BIG STINKER. Bruce is absolutely heartbroken. He's so sure that it was interesting and original, a story about a victim of poisoning who has to figure out who is trying to kill him in order to save his own life, but Gordon's pronouncement sinks his hopes. He tries to find Lila, whom he mentions has a copy of the script, but when she's not home, he decides to nurse his misery at a local dive bar instead.

Jessica, meanwhile, is bored. Liz is out of town for some sort of journalism trip, leaving her alone in their dorm. She's trying not to spend all her time at Theta House, because that will make her look pathetic. Therefore, she jumps at the chance when Steven calls and says he and some of his law school buddies are heading for a bar, and would she like to come along? Of course she says yes, and of course she takes 2 hours to prepare herself for the handsome law school men. By the time she makes it to the bar, she realizes that Steven's crowd has already left; on her way out, she spots Bruce drinking by himself and basically takes pity on him. She figures he'll need some help getting home (though she is relieved to learn he walked there instead of risking his precious Porsche), and tries to walk him back, but he detours to a frat party with a despised frat brother that Jessica hates, and then ends up following her back to her dorm and collapsing in the doorway.

Meanwhile, Lila has been on her date with Marcus, regretting it the entire time, and then even moreso when Marcus tries to get fresh, she declines, and he blows up at her. She goes over to Jessica's room the day after to commiserate with her, only to find Bruce in Liz's bed and Jessica sitting beside him, looking very cozy indeed. She screams and takes off, but when she arrives home, she's konked over the head in her bathroom and left unconscious.

Jessica taunts Bruce, who can't remember anything after the bar the night before, even leading him to believe that they slept together, which pains him almost as much as his hangover. Jessica finally tells him she's just kidding, but that he looks especially terrible - is he sick? He denies it and gets up to go after Lila, even though Jessica promises to tell Lila the truth and smooth things over. Bruce makes it halfway to Lila's apartment and falls over on the sidewalk.

He wakes up in the hospital, where a Doctor Martin grimly informs him that he has been poisoned, but they can't figure out with what. She tells him that he basically only has a day and a half left before he succumbs to the deadly mix. Martin asks him to try to remember everything he did the previous day to see if they can pinpoint how and where he was poisoned. Bruce leaves the hospital and goes straight to Jessica, whom he accuses of trying to kill him (is it that much of a leap after the other lies she teased him about?) Jessica of course denies it, but she can see that Bruce is clearly very sick, and agrees to help him. They go to the grand opening of the new wing of the film school, where Bruce spots the dude who was angry and upset at the bar, and who shared a beer with him. Jessica recognizes him as a fellow student from their film class, Marcus Stratton, and puts two and two together about him and Lila. Bruce is furious with Marcus for taking Lila out on a date and is convinced that he's the one who poisoned him. Bruce and Jessica follow Marcus when he leaves - Bruce is too sick to drive, so he gives the keys to Jessica, who is beyond excited at the idea of finally driving this precious car. She takes off, racing through freeway traffic and then hairpin turns on a hill in Crestview as they tail Marcus, but unfortunately they lose him and actually go through a guardrail, careening into the caverns below.

Miraculously, they aren't hurt, though Bruce's car is completely toast. Bruce doesn't take any time to mourn it, though, worried about Lila and determined to catch the man he believes is trying to kill him. They eventually make it back to the top of the cliff and catch a ride to a gas station to check in with Doc Martin, but she doesn't have any good news. Bruce decides to steal a car and continue following Marcus, though he deftly manages to drop Jess off at the hospital and leave without her, much to her consternation. He finds Marcus and sees him reading the pink and white copy of the manuscript, and the two of them start to fight. Bruce is extremely weak from the poison and the car wreck, so he's on the losing side of the fight; next thing he knows, Marcus has been shot dead by someone from the outside, and his script is missing.

Bruce calls in the murder to the police and then hightails it to Lila's, knowing that she did indeed go out with this dude. He is heartstricken when he finds the unconscious Lila in her bathroom, and calls an ambulance for the second time that night. He is determined to spend his final moments on earth with his beloved, but she insists that he doesn't.

With nowhere else to turn, and realizing that he seems to be living out the very screenplay that he wrote, he decides to meet Professor Gordon and see if he has any ideas. Bruce wants to meet at Gordon's office on campus, and while he waits for him, he realizes that Gordon has taken the copy of the script, turned in as homework, and added a new title page to it, claiming it as his own. It FINALLY dawns on him that Gordon is the one who poisoned him, in order to steal his script, though he can't for the life of him figure out why.

We all know why, right? Because obviously he also stole the script that won him the Academy Award, and because he's a complete hack, he figures he'll strike twice in the goldmine that is his film class. Yes, he's the one who murdered poor Belinda Beringer, it was her script that won him critical acclaim, and he's basically going to do the same to Bruce.

Bruce has just realized that the poison was in the scotch that Gordon offered him while telling him his script was trash when Gordon arrives. He of course gives an OTT villain monologue while he's trying to strangle Bruce, first with his hands and then with a lamp chord, but Jessica bursts into the office just in time to see what's happening. She picks up the first weapon she can find and knocks Gordon out. Unfortunately, she chose the decanter of scotch, and it shatters into a million pieces, the poisoned scotch soaking into the rug.

Bruce laments the irony of his fate - finding the poison and then losing it with mere minutes to live - until he finds the glass he was drinking from the day before, which he didn't empty but hid on the windowsill. There's still some scotch left! He's saved!!

Bruce and Jessica rush to the hospital with the scotch and burst into the lab, where Dr Martin has just about given up hope on finding the poison; Lila is also there, crying over her inevitable loss. Lila is so happy to see Bruce that she almost knocks him over - mercifully after he gives Dr Martin the glass - and Bruce is hurried into a hospital room of his own. Martin has analyzed the scotch and found the antidote, which she gives Bruce, along with the news that he will, indeed, live.

The final chapter finds Bruce still in this hospital, surrounded by flowers from well-wishes, receiving Porsche brochures so he can choose his next ride. Jessica and Lila are with him as he fields calls from agents who want to shop his manuscript around, not only due to the Gordon connection, but because of his own almost-death. Bruce being Bruce arranges for photos to be taken of the injuries he sustained at Gordon's hands to up the ante in the war being raged over his screenplay. He tells Lila to buy a new dress for the Academy Awards, and the book ends on a happy but sappy note of them, vowing to love each other forever.

I LOVED this book. It had the right trio of characters at the center, all of them in character despite the ridiculousness around them, and the pace is extremely lively. It's written like a true thriller, and has the beats of an actual thriller writer as the ghostie. Jessica is at her most extremely awesome here, both in wit (telling Bruce that if she was going to kill him, it would've been in high school) and action (her mad skillz driving Bruce's car, which even Bruce had to give her props for). Seriously, I **love** this Jessica and wished we got to see more of her! Lila even gets a few strikes in, having stomped on Gordon's foot when he attacked her hard enough to probably break his toes and leave him with a telltale limp. And my ship? OMG! Bruce even gives a canon shout-out when he talks about the plane crash that stranded them together and served as the beginning of their relationship. My heart was just melting! ♥

Marian and I weren't sure if this would be a good book to close out our readathon with, so we decided to stick it in the middle in case it sucked. We needn't have worried - this was awesome!

SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY
Written by Francine Pascal
General Review for series as I cannot remember each novel.

I read Sweet Valley University when I was in junior high school to high school. While there is sexual content it is very mild (not explicit) compared to teen books today. If you like the Sweet Valley High you will love this series as it continues with the twins' story as they attend University and are away from their parents. I am not sure how they would relate to teens today as this was before cell phones were common and social media. They are fun teen romances with "real-life" situation. I did not complete the series as I started to save for school so I wasn't able to collect them any further (they are out of print). I still have the books I bought and may try to read one again (I did reread the series a few times).

[E.H. Nolan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dead Before Dawn might be my favorite of the Thriller Editions of Sweet Valley University so far! As usual with the Thrillers, they don’t have anything to do with the normal timeline, and afterwards, the regular books will forget everything that happened in them. So, in this volume, while Bruce Patman gets poisoned and has 24 hours to find his killer and the antidote, there’s no mention of the very sad tragedy everyone went through in the previous book. You get a break!

I loved the earlier books when Bruce and Lila were stranded together, fighting for their survival, after their plane crashed. It’s so exciting for the ultra-rich characters to find themselves in completely different situations and adapt and grow. The normally suave and surface Bruce has to dig deeper in this book, and as he’s already shown, he’s a lot more than most of his college pals give him credit for.

Elizabeth, Tom, and Todd aren’t in this book. Given their recent love triangle, it’s understandable that they give the readers a little break before a resolution is worked out. Jessica has a sizable part, as does Lila, so if you like the fluffy characters like I do, you’ll love this one!

I have read so many of these books I can't remember all of them.
