82: ROCK STAR'S GIRL

Double Love ·

2021/06/17

There's a new girl in Sweet Valley High, and Enid and Liz are her new best friends. Yes, Andrea Slade has left boring old New York City for exciting Sweet Valley, and she never wants to leave, especially after she falls for Dennis Reynolds - oh sorry, it's creepy Nicholas Morrow. When Lila and Jessica discover that Andrea is living with the object of their obsession, rock star Jamie Peters, they jump to an even more creepy conclusion - one that threatens to wreck Andrea's newfound happiness

81: STARRING JESSICA

Double Love ·

2021/06/03

Brace yourselves, everyone: this book contains one of the best scenes in Sweet Valley History and maybe even one of the best scenes in the history of western literature! Yes, apart from a boring subplot about Liz becoming a volunteer Secca Lake park ranger, Starring Jessica is solid gold. It's got Jessica wildly overestimating how famous she'll be after appearing in talk show! It's got scheming (SO much scheming)! It's got some excellent bitchy banter between our favourite frenemies! And best of

Double Love ·

2021/05/20

Breathe a sigh of relief, listeners - we don't have to put Ken Matthews in the bin after all! SVH needs a new quarterback, and Ken, who has mostly recovered from his accident in That (not actually) Fatal Night, is determined to try out. And when newcomer Claire Middleton announces she wants to try out too, our beloved himbo prince supports her all the way! Phew! But not everyone is cheering on the new girl - Ken's girlfriend Terri fears she's losing him to this football goddess and, less

79: FRIEND AGAINST FRIEND

Double Love ·

2021/05/06

Take a deep breath folks, this isn’t the usual ridiculous fare - it’s so serious there aren’t even any outfits. Yes, Sweet Valley is tackling racism, when Andy Jenkins, seemingly the only Black boy in Sweet Valley, becomes the target of horrible Charlie Cashman’s vile abuse. His white friend Neil wants to help - but when Neil feels rejected by Andy, things take a genuinely shocking turn. For once a Sweet Valley book without a perfectly happy ending! We’re as surprised as you are. Even Saint

78: THE LOVE BET

Double Love ·

2021/04/22

Our beloved Dana Larson is fed up with love, and she's written a song to prove it! When Liz realises that soccer star Aaron Dallas has also given up on romance, she decides to fix him up with our favourite classic-movie-loving rocker. Will these opposites attract? Liz has made a bet with Todd that they will - though this bet doesn't really make much sense, as you will see. Meanwhile, Jess and Lila get jobs as roadies for the amazingly named Spy Lazarus of Spontaneous Combustion, Anna reveals her

77: SPRING BREAK

Double Love ·

2021/04/08

Bonjour les amies! We may be stuck in Ireland but Jessica and Elizabeth are off to France on a spring break student exchange, where they stay with the worst host family ever - Avery Glize, who is nice but basically leaves the twins to their own devices, and her sultry yet surly son René, who hates the beach (gasp!) and is so rude we find ourselves defending the Wakefield twins. What is the reason for his terrible behaviour? Join us as we head to Cannes (if only!) to eat pain au chocolat and hang out

76: THE PARENT PLOT

Double Love ·

2021/03/25

It's election season in Sweet Valley, but the real battle is taking place between Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield. Liz wants her parents to get back together, but Jess wants to fix Ned and Alice up with new love interests - and we get very excited by one of her selections! As well as lots of twin scheming, we've got an OTG political advisor, a very awkward dinner and a digression about Anna's neighbourhood cats. This show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

75: WHO'S TO BLAME

Double Love ·

2021/03/11

Surprise surprise, it's still mostly Ned! But poor old Liz is convinced that she's responsible for the fall of the Casa del Wakefield, and the guilt has sent her into a quite a state. Having lost her faith in love, she's ignoring Enid's sensible advice, pushing away Todd, going on dates with boys she doesn't like - and worst of all, she's even letting down Mr Collins (he's back!). Meanwhile Jessica, who doesn't care about the implosion of her family at all, finally meets the mysterious Charlie - but

74: TROUBLE AT HOME

Double Love ·

2021/02/25

Ugh, Ned Wakefield. He's having a midlife crisis and he's taking it out on poor old Alice, who is under pressure at work - her firm are hoping to get the job of designing the new wing of the Sweet Valley Mall. Cover it in Spanish tiles, Alice! When Ned defends the Wakefields' friend, mayoral candidate Peter Santelli, on a corruption charge, tensions rise in the Casa del Wakefield. Elizabeth is stressed out but Jessica, of course, doesn't care. In fact, Jess says and does such ridiculously stupid

73: THE GHOST OF TRICIA MARTIN

Double Love ·

2021/02/11

This may be one of the most entertainingly ridiculous Sweet Valley storylines yet - and you know we don't say that lightly. Steven becomes obsessed with both hang gliding and Tricia-lookalike Andrea of Unique Boutique, and if he'd ended up kidnapping Andrea a la Carl the orlderly we wouldn't have been surprised. Seriously, he needs therapy and poor Cara deserves so much better! Meanwhile Jess has her sights set on a boy with principles, and all is not well with Ned and Alice. Uh oh. It's another

Double Love ·

2021/01/28

Watch out Sweet Valley! There's a new Liz Wakefield in town - and she's got a surfboard. Yes, not content with her daring new non-permanent perm, Liz's determination to prove that she's not boring leads her to start secret surfing lessons. Her teenage teacher Sean wants Liz to win a surfing competition in order to win a bet - but his interest in Liz soon becomes more personal (and yes, he's yet another boy who doesn't take no for an answer). But when Todd doubts Liz's frankly unconvincing cover

71: DOUBLE LOVE 71: DEADLY SUMMER

Double Love ·

2020/12/24

It's Christmas! And because time has no meaning in 2020, we're celebrating with the super thriller Deadly Summer - and we were NOT prepared for how dramatic this amazing book is. It's right up there with Murder in Paradise, and we don't say that lightly. The twins are interning at the Sweet Valley News when a dangerous bombmaker escapes from a local psychiatric hospital, seeking revenge on Sweet Valley High. it would be a crime to spoil all the details, but let's just say that at one stage Liz can't

Double Love ·

2020/12/10

We've been waiting a long time for this glorious day and we weren't disappointed. At last, it's time to meet Daniella Fromage and Magenta Galaxy! Yes, Jessica has finally run out of boys at Sweet Valley High and has decided to expand her horizons by signing up to a computer dating agency and adopting two very different personas. Having borrowed some of the best outfits ever seen in Sweet Valley from Dana and some very Lucille Bluth ensembles from Suzanne, she starts dating alleged sophisticate

Patty Gilbert's looking forward to seeing her boyfriend Jim for the first time in weeks - but when Patty's sister Jana returns home with the news that she's getting married in, like, five minutes, Patty's attempt to balance family obligations and romance leads to some typical Sweet Valley contrived drama. Luckily sensible khaki-clad Liz is there to provide sage advice. Meanwhile Jessica literally loses her mind in her latest unsettling attempt to snag a grown man when she takes the credit for DeeDee

68: THAT FATAL NIGHT

Double Love ·

2020/11/12

It's Karyn's worst nightmare - Amy Sutton has set her sights on everyone's favourite himbo, Ken Matthews! But when Ken is involved in a car accident that leaves him blind, evil Amy is keen to move on - and she's not the only one at Sweet Valley High who is uncomfortable with Ken's situation. Thank goodness for Karyn's kindred spirit Terri Adams, who has had a crush on Ken for ages and is there to support him as he adjusts to his new life. And as for us, we're so delirious with joy at the demise of a

67: IN LOVE AGAIN

Double Love ·

2020/10/29

Reunited and it feels so good! Or does it? Todd and Elizabeth are back together, but it looks like Todd's swanky new lifestyle will come between them - or at least it will if Courtney Kane has her way. Yes, the gloriously OTT yet strangely incompetent villain is up to no good in her typically cartoonish style and we enjoy every minute of it - especially when she makes a shocking declaration. Meanwhile, Jessica turns traitor in her determination to join Lovett Academy and Karyn is outraged when it

Double Love ·

2020/10/15

Guess who's back, back again? Todd is back! Tell your friends! Elizabeth is in turmoil at the news, though not as much as poor Jeffrey (two words we say a LOT in this episode), who rightly figures his days are numbered as soon as Whizzer Wilkins returns to town. Meanwhile rich bitch Courtney Kane sets her sight on Todd, who is now living in a mansion that's almost as fancy as Fowler Crest. Courtney sneers at Lila so you know we hate her. As for Jessica, she's planning to trap a rich boy of her

65: TEACHER CRUSH

Double Love ·

2020/10/01

First of all, don't worry - this book isn't as dodgy as we feared it would be. Yes, Olivia Davidson, who seems to have had a personality transplant, is madly in love with hunky art teacher Stuart Bachman, but Stuart has no interest in her. Olivia, however, convinces herself that he does - after all, who could resist her funky new giant earrings? This is a scenario that could actually do with Elizabeth meddling with other people's personal lives but for once she decides to stay out of it. Meanwhile

64: LOST AT SEA

Double Love ·

2020/09/17

When the SVH gang set off on a science field trip to a remote island, Lila sneers at the non-luxurious boat taking them there - and our flat-faced queen's jibes are justified, because it doesn't take more than a few big waves on the way home before the boat starts sinking! When Jessica and Winston's lifeboat capsizes, they vanish in the foggy sea and the denizens of Sweet Valley fear the worst. Have we finally got rid of Jessica Wakefield forever? Don't get your hopes up, listeners - Jessica and
