Sweet Valley Confidential

For all you closet Wakefield fans, I have a treat .............
In my hot little hands, I am clutching a proof of 'Sweet Valley High Confidential - Ten Years On......' No longer just a rumour, we will at last be able to find out what happened when Elizabeth and Jessica eventually grew up.

Did size 6 become size 16? Did cosmetic surgery remedy the mole on Elizabeth's shoulder? Will Todd and Elizabeth ever be together and will Jessica ever find a true love that doesn't tragically die within two months of meeting her?

You'll have to wait until April .......

we fell out over it. But now I can't remember which I thought!. I think I said lee-la, as the other way sounded like lilo to me. And she said lee-la was a stupid way of pronouncing it and then we were cross with each other for a while.

AbsofCroissant · 16/11/2010 16:35

No freaking clue. I used to think of it as "lie-la", then "lee-la". Now I'm back to "lie-la".

BellaBearisWideAwake · 16/11/2010 16:07

How do you pronounce Lila? My friend and I had quite a bitter argument about it

notalone · 16/11/2010 13:05

I was more of a Jessica but was secretly ashamed of my fickleness and wanted to be more like Elizabeth.

I read all the Sweet Valley Kids and Sweet Vally High books (and also the terribly awful Sweet Dreams books - please don't tell anyone else lol) and loved them. I actually feel quite bitter towards them now though because life was quite easy for the twins and the heroines in the sweet dreams books. They were beautiful, rich, sporty, clever had amazingly supportive families, great friends, gorgeous boyfriends, lovely home town etc. Life is just not like this at all. I hope Elizabeth and Jessica are now crack whores Grin

Best friend texted back saying she's also disappointed they're not out til April.

I also quite liked Lila, and was secretly pleased when she and Bruce (despite her being "new money" and him being "old money") finally got together in the SVC series.

I'm scared to re-read them in case they are just a great big pile of pants.

I think there was a Sweet Valley Kids one as well, where they're about seven!

AbsofCroissant · 16/11/2010 09:34

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!!

I loved sweet valley as a child/teenager, and fortunately realised it was a bit crap at the time. My friend and I used to place bets on when they would mention the "blue-green eyes the colour of the Pacific ocean", perfect size six figures, blonde hair, identical apart from a mole on Elizabeth's shoulder and the whole "as different as night and day" debacle. I also found Elizabeth ANNOYING, but knew in my heart I was more like her than Jessica (wanted to be Jessica though). Will email bezzy friend now to tell her!

UntitledNo2 · 16/11/2010 09:27

Oh, I am alarmingly excited about this! In fact, I may have to re-read all my SVH books in preparation (yup, still have 'em all, and even brought them from my folks' attic when I moved out). Am guessing (hoping!) that it isn't one of the twins that dies... But surely they can't have survived numerous attempts on their lives by many, many serial killers/revenge seekers/identity stealers/secret society leaders etc just to croak in the last book. Shite.... I think I have just demonstrated an abnormal level of knowledge on this subject!

Were there 3 series of books? SV twins, SV High and SV university. I also remember a tv series too

Rhian82 · 16/11/2010 08:06

Ooh, I was never really into SVH but loved Sweet Valley Twins when I was younger still!

notalone - no spoilers. I could not live with myself if I ruined the anticipation.

Oooh - am glad I am wrong. Are you allowed to pm me with a spoiler?

Bumperlicious · 15/11/2010 19:54

I've spent the afternoon reading the reviews of all the svh books on that dairi burger site - v funny!

cwtchy · 15/11/2010 19:53

Ooh I don't know, Take That back as a 5-piece, and now a new SV book...my life may actually be complete!

I have posted on another thread about SVH before, if anyone ever checks my posting history they will conclude (perhaps rightly) that I am a bit of a loser. Can I bring myself to ask anyone to buy me this book as christmas present though?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 15/11/2010 19:45

I cant wait for this Blush

I always remember a line out of one of the Sweet Valley University books about how Liz had put on weight Shock and was "looking like a sausage" in one of her dresses.

That made me realise at the grand old age of 14 how crap they really were!

tribpot · 15/11/2010 19:33

Jessica has reformed, and become a missionary in Guatemala. Elizabeth has gone off the rails and beome a reality TV star, habitual cocaine user and publicity junkie.

That website is great! I must admit that reading the books now dies taint them a little realising just how crap they are!

Apparently if you sign up to the sweet valley confidential site you get a link to the first chapter.

needtogetalife · 15/11/2010 09:53

om my really really, is this real? I am going to feel so dim if not but I did actually love sweet valley. Is it really coming back?
