The Wakefield Twins of Sweet Valley High Are All Grown Up



The 411 by Maria:

I must admit, I have never read a Sweet Valley High book. Yes, they were wildly popular in the 80's and have over 150 books to their name but I was in college and anything with the words "high school" simply didn't appeal to me but after reading Sweet Valley Confidential I may just have to see where the sisters started. So we meet Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield who both are living very different lives at the moment and each dealing with the curves that life has handed them.

Since I have nothing to compare this to, I will say that it is a guilty pleasure and if you think YOUR life is bad, pay a visit to the Wakefield twins and rejoice in how normal your life is. While it isn't a great literary masterpiece it does entertain and keep you reading. I was interested in finding out if Jessica's boyfriend is the "aggressive" man he has been made out to be by one of his young interns. 

There is so much going on here. Fake pregnancies, plagiarism, rape accusations, kid napping, cheating, adultery, Reality TV and more.

Give it a chance. You may just find yourself sitting up late into the night like me to finish the massive 416 page book. Come on, I don't have time for 416 pages but I made time!

Question: Did you read Sweet Valley High????
