5/26/2023 0 Comments Double love francine pascalElizabeth is the sensitive, kind and studious twin, while Jessica is a carefree party girl with a different love interest in almost every book, but rereading the series as an adult, it’s clear that Elizabeth is actually a judgemental pushover and Jessica is a terrifying sociopath who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. The sixteen year old Wakefield twins have blue-green eyes the colour of the Pacific ocean, they’re beautiful, popular, and the absolute worst. It was essentially a teen soap opera in the form of short novels with pastel-coloured covers, complete with dramatic and emotional storylines (the first ten books alone involve a motorbike crash, a coma, a personality swap and a college guy with an ill-advised moustache) and was written by a team of ghostwriters, presided over by creator Francine Pascal. For the uninitiated, Sweet Valley High was a young adult series that ran from 1983 to 1997 and centred on the lives of blonde identical twins Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield in the fictional California town of Sweet Valley. As my co-host Anna explains in the intro to our podcast, Double Love explores the strange and terrifying world of Sweet Valley High, book by book.
