No, you're not making it up. The other guy did start with a J... Josh? Maybe it was Jeff... He played soccer. A wiki says Jeffrey French smile . Todd Wilkens played basketball smile . Apparently a lot happened after I stopped reading. Sounds like a soap... He apparently had several flings with Jessica as well as going out with Elizabeth 4-5 times or something.

Personally, I was always more partial to Liz [hmmm... she was a reporter...]

I have vivid memories of some of those books... More so than BSC. More age appropriate as you said, I guess... I still have a few somewhere...
