116: THE WEDDING

Double Love ·

2022/11/10

Good news folks - Margo's voice is back! It's a busy episode for our favourite murderer, as, armed with an array of wigs bought in the mall, she becomes a master of disguise and finally lays eyes on the Casa del Wakefield and its inhabitants. She also enlists a new accomplice in her quest to find out all about the twins. Meanwhile, Jessica finds a new purpose, Liz tries to get back to normal, Todd is deeply annoying and Lila plots to get Pierre out of the picture (yes, the ghostwriter remembered he

115: THE VERDICT

Double Love ·

2022/10/27

It’s (literally) judgement day in Sweet Valley - will Liz be convicted of a crime she may or may not have committed? Well if she isn’t it’s no thanks to Ned (the world’s worst defence lawyer), Alice (who’s gone full Stepford Wife), Jessica (who’s gone full psychopath) or Todd (who has lost any backbone he might once have possessed). Meanwhile Lila plays happy families, Pamela tries to find her feet at SVH, Steven has boring room mate issues - but who cares about that when Margo is actually arriving

114: THE ARREST

Double Love ·

2022/10/13

We didn't think this was possible, but somehow this is an even more chaotic book than The Morning After. A terrified Liz faces a stint in the big house, Lila is reunited with her long lost mother Grace who has arrived with her comedy French lover Pierre, Bruce worries about Pamela's bad reputation (where's Joan Jett when we need her?), Jessica turns her attention to a ridiculously hapless Todd, Nicholas becomes an official Hunk - and Margot's killing spree continues! And this time, it's got a

DOUBLE LOVE: And now, what you've been waiting for - it's Margo time! Yes, the infamous twin-lookalike serial killer finally makes her debut, and she exceeds all our expectations. And while she makes her way across the country, back in Sweet Valley all is not well. Poor Elizabeth is traumatised and guilt-ridden after the accident, Lila is having a nervous breakdown, and Jessica is dealing with both Sam's death and the fact that she's letting her twin take the fall for a tragedy she caused. Meanwhile

112: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Double Love ·

2022/09/14

It’s finally arrived - the night that, we’re told repeatedly by the taglines and blurb, will change Sweet Valley forever. And there is a LOT to discuss! When the twins come up with the idea of a jungle-themed prom to raise money for an environmental NGO, Liz unsurprisingly ends up doing all the work, while Jessica is happy to take the credit. But when Jessica declares her desire to become Prom Queen and win a trip to Brazil, Liz has finally had enough (and who can blame her, as Jessica is truly at

Double Love ·

2022/08/31

This week we take a trip down memory lane as Liz shares the contents her secret diary - and it's surprisingly steamy stuff! Diary Liz is a lot more bitchy and much more of a horndog than regular Liz, and we are here for it. Join us as we head back to a golden age of SVH and see the events of classics like Alone in the Crowd and Heartbreaker through Liz's eyes - and most importantly, find out about her affair with everyone's favourite himbo! Yes, in some impressive retconning, it turns out Liz and

110: ARE WE IN LOVE?

Double Love ·

2022/08/18

It's the end of an era, folks! We've finally reached the last in the classic SVH run - after this, it's all mini-series and evil twins. So it's a shame this book is both boring and depressing. Steven and Cheryl are just good friends - but after they're targeted by racist thugs, emotions run high and they end up kissing. But is there any real chemistry between them? No, but it takes them a whole book to admit it. A heads up re: content: if you're not in the mood for discovering in detail just how

108: SHE'S NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS

Double Love ·

2022/07/21

It's a particularly dramatic episode this week, in more ways than one! Jessica is determined to play Lady Macbeth in the school play, which is inexplicably being produced by a famous director. Shy new girl Paula is apparently eager to help the psychotic Wakefield twin step into the spotlight and quickly wins the hearts of the whole Sweet Valley gang - even Lila. An increasingly isolated Jessica is convinced that Paula is, well, not what she seems - but is she being paranoid or is Paula really

107: IN LOVE WITH A PRINCE

Double Love ·

2022/07/07

Hola amigas! Salut les copines! Prince Arthur of Santa Dora is coming to town, and while we have many questions about that mysterious Mediterranean country, the girls of Sweet Valley just care about one thing: winning the handsome prince's heart. Arthur's fans include Jessica (Sam who?) and Lila, but not Dana Larson, who makes her anti-monarchy feelings known. The prince is impressed by the strong-willed rocker, however, and against her better judgement Dana finds herself falling in love with him

2022/06/23

We're back! And we're heading on a bike road up the California Coast as the SVH gang - plus 🎶 Mr Collins 🎶 and Ms Dalton - take to the open road. But things don't go smoothly - newcomer Barry Cooper is bullied (Saint Liz does f-all to stop this), there's tension between the two teachers, Jessica is getting nowhere with the amazingly named hunk Robbie October, and worst of all, hilariously villainous rich girl Courtney Thomas joins the group and sets her sights on Todd! All this and Jessica nearly

105: DON'T GO HOME WITH JOHN

Double Love ·

2022/06/02

Well, this day was always going to come. We've been booing his name for over 100 episodes and now you get to hear why we loathe John Pfeifer. When John asks Lila out on a date, she's thrilled - she's had a crush on him for some time. But things turn very nasty when he sexually assaults her at Miller's Point. A shattered Lila is initially too traumatised to speak out - and when she does, not everyone believes her. It's grim stuff, but there are still some genuinely moving, uplifting moments when

104: ELIZABETH BETRAYED

Double Love ·

2022/05/18

We feared this would be another convoluted tale of pointless misunderstandings but we were surprised yet again because this book was an absolute delight! When Penny heads to DC, there's only one Oracle staffer who's fit to take her place: Elizabeth. At least, that's what Rod Sullivan thinks. Olivia's boyfriend has become worryingly obsessed with Liz. When a flu epidemic (yikes) leaves her shortstaffed and overworked, Rod offers to help her with an essay for Mr Collins (who is way too harsh on his

Double Love ·

2022/05/04

Well, we knew that a dud was coming in this run of books, we just didn't realise it was this one! Jessica and Elizabeth set up a letter writing service for the troubled denizens of Sweet Valley and against all logic, it's a runaway success. But when Shelly Novak writes in to request a love letter for none other than Todd Wilkins and his coffee coloured eyes, Jessica has to spring into action with a typically convoluted plan in an effort to save her sister's relationship. Yes, unfortunately it's

2022/04/20

For weeks we’ve been assuming that this book would be a drop in quality after a run of bangers - but we were wrong! When Ginny becomes the latest ill-trained recruit at Project Youth, she bonds with one of the callers, a boy called Mike. But when Mike wants to meet up, Ginny fears he’ll be disappointed by her, so persuades her super-hot friend Denise to take her place. But she finds herself regretting it Jen Denise falls for Mike.

The sexual tension is off the charts in this one, as Jessica faces off against her ultimate foe 1BRUCE1. When Bruce starts a new club whose members have to prove themselves in (frankly stupid) dares, he announces that no girls are brave enough to join. Jessica's determined to prove him wrong - and soon she's a member of Club X, a gang comprised of the worst dickheads in school, all wearing embroidered leather jackets. Liz is horrified by Jessica's exploits, especially when they disrupt the visit of

It's our 100th episode! And what better way to celebrate than to head to Walkersville, Kansas, where the Wakefield twins are spending spring break with their great-aunt and uncle. Liz wants some R&R, while Jess wants to pick up some local hunks and dazzle the locals with her truly exceptional outfits. To the twins' shock the local girls, led by the terrifying Annie-Sue, give them the cold shoulder, but the Wakefields aren't lonely for long.

2022/03/03

When Jessica sees that her fave soap opera is looking for identical twins to appear in the show for a week, she's determined that she and Elizabeth will get the parts. But Liz despises soaps and their ridiculous plots, silly characters and contrived misunderstandings (pot, kettle etc etc). Of course Jessica tricks her (twice!) into taking part in the show and soon the twins are stars. But when Jessica's head is turned by her hunky co-star Brandon, she risks losing Sam forever.
