Nachdem die vorherigen 5 Bücher dieser "Beverly Hilly, 90210"-Reihe Re-Reads für mich waren, habe ich mit "Heißkalte Liebe" nun endlich eine echte SUB-Leiche vom Staub befreit.

Hier passt auch der Titel wieder gut, denn sowohl Brandon erlebt eine solche als auch Brenda, die ein kleines Auf-und-Ab mit Dylan durchläuft. Obwohl ich die dazugehörigen Folgen sicher nur zweimal, allerhöchstens 3x gesehen habe - und auch das mindestens 20 Jahre her ist - habe ich mich sowohl an Liebelei von Brandon mit der Eisprinzessin als auch an das gemeinsame Blutspenden von Brenda und Dylan am Valentinstag sehr gut erinnern können. Und wenn man das alles noch so im Hinterkopf hat, macht das Lesen dieser Jugendbücher auch heute noch Spaß.

Well written except for the overuse of the word evidently. I should have kept count. Novel is based on season 2 episodes teleplay Fire and Ice, And Baby Makes Five, and Cardio Funk. Cardio Funk portion was probably my favourite because of the wild ways Brenda and Dylan linger away from one another.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Man, this made me want to re-watch the whole series. This was a novelization of three forgettable episode, but the writing was better than I expected. It brought back a lot of good memories.

Drama, drama, drama!!!!! So much drama going on for a group of high school kids. It was like a regular high school on steroids but it did touch on a lot of problems kids can face. It was very entertaining.
