Sweet Valley High! The Wakefield twins are making a comeback! The Francine Pascal’s new book (released this past Tuesday!), Sweet Valley High Confidential, follows the “perfect size six, gorgeous, blonde haired and blue eyed” girls, now 27 years old.
Back in jr. high, I felt like Elizabeth, the intellectual, responsible newspaper editor, and Jessica, the popular, boy-crazy cheerleader, were my friends #don’tjudgeme. I didn’t realize that I still felt this way until I was informed that in Sweet Valley High Confidential, the girls are not on good terms (big surprise, what happened this time?) or that Jessica is now living with Elizabeth’s ex-boyfriend, Todd Wilkins (WHAT?!); I seriously felt like I was hearing rumors about people that I went to high school with and have since lost touch.

Even more exciting is that Diablo Cody has already finished the script for a Sweet Valley High movie that she’s producing. There is no one better than Diablo Cody, dialogue genius, to bring this cheesy yet spectacular high school girl series to life.
Also, Ms. Cody should hit up Threadsence for costuming because these sisters would definitely rock Threadsence clothing #justsaying.

If you have not read these books and have no idea what I’m talking about, I am sorry for your childhood’s loss. If you do know and are just as excited as I am, join me in sprinting over to the local independent bookstore and picking up a copy of Sweet Valley High Confidential right now. Then leave me a comment, and we can have a virtual sleepover and paint our nails together and gossip about what shenanigans Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are up to now.

P.S. I also found an article that imagines the Babysitters Club girls as they are older. Perfect.
