I’m 25, and my sister and I read Sweet Valley (all of them- kids, twins, high school, anything they came out with) when we were younger. I discovered this site and it’s hilarious! I recently came across some old books when I was at my parents’ house and realized how ridiculous the story lines are. This blog has been the source for hours of entertainment- please keep it up!

Wow, I love your blog SO MUCH. I spent way too many hours obsessively reading these books as a tween, and I too feel that they seriously wonked with my psyche. Your reviews crack me up, making me laugh out loud when I’m all by myself. Thank you for doing this- seriously! I spent(wasted) an entire saturday reading your posts and laughing my ass off. Love it, love it.

Hey there,

I’ve been following your posts for some time and I love them. I really like it when you recap the SVH books. I read #’s 135. Lila’s New Flame, 136. Too Hot to Handle, and 137. Fight Fire with Fire. These three go together. They are really good because they revolve Lila and Steven as the main characters, but the best part this is that they both treat Jess and Liz the way we’ve always wanted someone to when they stick their nose in other people’s business. If you want to borrow them, I would gladly mail them to you just so that you can recap it for us all. Cheers!

I found this site two days ago and cannot stop reading or commenting. Holy hairy hells, ihatewheat, I may never have to see a shrink again! You just threw a whole bunch of long-buried nonsense about high school into neon relief. Thanks!

Because I am something of a masochist, I am going to have to start an SVU recap blog. Will share link when it goes live.

How could you DO this to me??? Just when I thought I had finished reading all the recaps on 1bruce1 and could get back to business at hand (such as my life), I discover the Dairi Burger. Good-bye job, good-bye graduate school, good-bye love interests or any such diversion out THERE. Hello, size six and pimple free Sweet Valley.

That being said, I can’t believe all these awesome sites like yours that are devoted to Sweet Valley. Somehow, I thought I was the only one. And to think, it all started with a drunken Google at 1 a.m. for “Jessica Wakefield” six months ago. Who knew?

I just discovered your blog due to the buzz on Twitter about the upcoming ‘Sweet Valley High’ film adaptation, and I am amazed. I had no idea that there was a continuing (and snarky) fandom of the books. Since my family and friends always looked down on my SVH reading, I was shamed into hiding. I was totally obsessed with these books during my childhood years and have boxes and boxes of them in my parents garage somewhere, like many of the other commentators. I now want to reclaim them and do a re-read too.

Like all the other comments have stated, this is a fabulous blog. By some crazy mixed up happenstance, it looks very similar to mine (theme and coloring). We can blame ‘Sweet Valley’ for that too I now wonder how instrumental these books were in skewing my perspective of all things. At least I’m not alone, as there seems to be numerous 20-something academics who read this site. I found some other SVH sites too, and again, I have to stress, I am amazed (in an awesome way).

P.S. The fact that you post as Lila Fowler on Twitter only endears this site to me more–I loved Lila, and she is probably the basis of my love for characters such as Cordelia Chase (Buffy) and Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl).
