when my bf got me this as a birthday present (he knows my undying devotion to the Sweet Valley series), i was super psyched to start reading it. i honestly didn't know how but i actually managed to finish this book. SV Confidential was just so... bad. i'm not kidding. jessica like, can't like, st...
My first review was on the first book only. I gave that one 3.5 stars. But I take it back I dont know. After reading a review that voiced some thoughts I had it was clear.I would not finish this series. Ever.I didnt think id pick up the second book or the third but I just skimmed through both of ...
Source: I read this book online via OpenLibrary. Cost: Free Title: Racing Hearts Series: Sweet Valley High #9 Author: Kate William and Francine Pascal Overall Rating: 3 stars And on today's episode of Why the Wakefield Twins Are Better Than Us Mere Mortals: They don't get frizzy hair! The sh...
I definitely have never read this one before. It was pretty good, but nothing great. I feel like the only reason why Jessica has it out for Annie is because Annie is so similar to Jessica. Subconciously, Jessica probably feels threatened by Annie. Story of my life right now hahaApparently Annie h...
Original SnarkSquad recap here.Jessica Wakefield was once turned down by sufer dude Bill Chase. So, naturally, she spends the book seducing and manipulating him, because these books are about nothing if they aren't about teaching young, impressionable youths amazing life lessons. We're introduced...
Elizabeth really is too naive and trusting. I really wish she'd get mean and stop being stepped on.Suzanne comes across as just some spoiled little brat who just wants attention. I mean, if her parents are as bad/neglectful as they came across when Jessica came over, I kinda get it. But still. Sh...
How I Came To Read This Book: I salvaged it from a pile my mom was going to donate, wanting to prep for the forthcoming Sweet Valley Confidential!The Plot: Jessica wants to be named the upcoming fall dance queen, namely so she can attend all events for the rest of the year on the arm of inevitabl...
Before Reading: Oooh...it's face-off time with the twins! I always think of them having long, straight hair but it's always kind of short and wavy on the covers. Weird. This is the uber fat-shaming one. I'm sure I'll have a LOT to say about this one!The Main Plot in 50 Words or Less: Robin is inf...
I'm pretty sure I've never read this one before. Not much about it stuck out or seemed particularly deja-vu.So this one had a really short time line: only a week. It started on a Sunday and was over on the following Saturday. Not that that's really relevant to anything, but I just thought it was ...
HOT CLAM SPECIAL!To me, Dangerous Love is the quintessential SVH book. It has our first real cliffhanger and enough Liz angst to float a boat. It is yet another book where Jessica expresses remorse for being Jessica and vows to change (and never does). I probably read this one and "Dear Sister" a...
Elizabeth wakes up from a coma after disobeying her parents and riding a motorcycle with her boyfriend, and of course getting in an accident. Jessica is so relieved to have her sister back, but something seems off about Liz…(view spoiler)[The responsible and observant Wakefield parents take note...
Instead of a synopsis, I am going to do things a bit differently this time. Even though SVH came first, chronologically this is where it all began (oh shut up, I don't care about Sweet Valley Kids). Jessica seems to be the most sociopathic during the first 30 books of each series (not counting SY...
The Fearless series is a great young adult series with appeal (i think) for both boys and girls (of course never having been a teenage boy~i can't really say for sure). Although it deals with the feelings of a young woman "born without the fear gene" and all the subsequent doubts and insecuritie...
"Francine Pascal," or whoever actually wrote these books, taught me how to read. Nancy Drew was my angel in first grade; by third, the Wakefield sisters were my guiding light, and if it weren't for them, I'd be television literate today. As it is, I cannot hold an informed conversation with membe...
I've read this series over ten years ago. But I remember it being very good. For the first 18 books. After that the more it lasted the worst it got. I stopped at book 32. These days I wouldn't give it more than 20.Back to the good stuff. I found that Gaia was a good strong, pretty but still flawe...
