10 Years On: Sweet Valley High – Returns

I surely can’t be the only one excited that the Wakefield twins have returned in a new instalment of Sweet Valley High. This was my Gossip Girl when I was growing up, I loved the books and I wanted to be a blonde like the gorgeous Brittany and Cynthia Daniel who played the leads in the TV series, and I so wish my school time had been like this.

If by any chance you lived under a rock and have no clue what Sweet Valley High is all about let me give you the low-down. Basically, the novels followed the lives of the perfect ‘barbie-like’ identical twins, Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, who were all-American sweethearts, and each book was a document of their teenage drama and the trials and tribulations of high school. To be honest I think it was these books that made me so fascinated with American life.

So I am so excited about picking up Francine Pascal’s new book, Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later, which catches up with the twins who are now 27.  I don’t know about you, but all I am wondering about is whether Elizabeth married her high school sweetheart Todd? I know the book is already out and people are probably going to tell me – but please don’t I have purposely not read any of the reviews. I can’t wait to pick up my copy today.
