Wrong Kind of Girl

April 19, 2016 by Stacey 2 Comments

The first time I read a Sweet Valley High book, I was about 10 years old and I was at a barbecue. I sat indoors and read the entire book from start to finish while everyone else was outside enjoying themselves. I was hooked from then on.

Every time I moved places, the first thing I did was check the library in my new town for issues I hadn’t read. I would eyeball new friends’ bookcases when I went over to hang out. I begged, borrowed and stole (ok I didn’t steal I don’t think but that would be a first) any and every book I ever could. Slowly over time I pieced my way through the OMG DRAMA lives of Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, even the weird-ass sagas and homicidal maniac specials.

Carly and I have discussed the first 9 books of the Sweet Valley High series on our Sweet Teen Club podcast, and today we release the 10th – where SHOCK HORROR  a girl who is known to *ahem* date around is audacious enough to think she’d be welcome on the cheerleading team.

Of course Wholesome Jessica (who… I thought also dated a different boy every week? but ok) cannot bear the thought of such a morally reprehensible teenager sullying her team’s good name and goes out of her way to manipulate everybody in sight to keep her out.

Not to mention there’s also a. a fight between Todd and Elizabeth over it because why not, b. reference to their perfect All-American good looks, and c. a bunch of overreacting and Jessica putting people in hospital with her sociopathic behaviour.

You can find out the surprising ending and our excessive eye-rolling over it it by listening here, on iTunes, or your favourite podcast app (what podcast app do you use? I heard overcast is good so I downloaded it a year ago and never used it again).

Also: how good is this!

What do you think? Did you read this book? Did you get into SVH? Would you just punch Jessica and be done with it or what?

      oh same, they’re coming too! Carly was more BSC than SVH so we’re gonna have a lot of fun 🙂
