"Ben likes Jessica, Steven hates Ben..."

Ben Oliver, a new student at Sweet Valley High, has become Steven Wakefield's newest enemy after he replaces Steven as starting center on their JV basketball team, forcing Steven to play guard. Then Steven loses the freshman class election as treasurer to Ben by one vote--which was made by Steven's own girlfriend. But the worst part is that Ben is dating Steven's sixth-grade sister, Jessica. While Jessica finds Ben boring and annoying after awhile, she continues seeing him as a way to bug her older brother, as well as gain the admiration and envy from her close friends (the Unicorns) for dating a high school guy. Steven, in return, plots to get Jessica back by dating Veronica Brooks, Jess's arch rival.As these two overreact and plot revenge against each other, I began to wonder if maybe Steven's number one enemy wasn't Ben, but Jessica. I mean, these two never seem to get along, and not just in this book. Yet "Steven's Enemy" has a relatively happy ending, particularly for both pair of enemies (Ben and Veronica), who find their perfect match.During her siblings' complicated little battle, Liz Wakefield tries not to get caught in the middle of it, which is usually what happens. Instead, she's busy playing detective with Amy Sutton, trying to figure out why Amy's parents are fighting. While Liz does find some upsetting clues, this story line isn't resolved by the end of "Steven's Enemy." It continues with the next book: "Amy's Secret Sister," in which part of the secret is revealed in the title.
