Francine Pascal Forever


The (much better) US cover of the book

This month sees the European publication of the much-hyped (in the US anyway) Sweet Valley Confidential, a tome that follows the Wakefield twins and their classmates into adulthood. While I'm gutted that there's no Kindle edition available- I just don't like carrying books around anymore- I am looking forward to reading it.



I was a massive Sweet Valley Twins fan as a kid. The TV show was broadcast when I was in high school myself and I even watched that even though I was strictly speaking too old and the appearance of one of Winkie and Blinkie from The Basketball Diaries as Elizabeth Wakefield kinda freaked me out. No way was Liz blowing poetry-loving junkie Catholic school boys from the LES, you know?


(0:14 for a glimpse of Wakefield)

And also hoping that this likely false report, claiming Diablo Cody is writing the script for the new SVH movie, is true.
