![]() Look at the new cover, then glance at this older book it’s a total design flashback. Someone smells money to be made from the Gen X- and Y-ers, and damned if they aren’t right. Interestingly, though, the new edition is not a novel for teenagers it is “mainstream fiction,” otherwise known as adult-geared. You may recall that several years ago, SVH was reissued to the teen market with nary a splash, aside from some indignation about the twins’ unfortunate change in dress size. I’m not sure when Pascal’s drama-filled world stopped being relevant to youth, because when I was in middle school, a good fifteen years after Double Love debuted, over a hundred volumes lined the young adult section in each Barnes & Noble. ![]() After all, the last thirty years have seen numerous, sometimes improbable, incarnations of the twins. I’m referring to Sweet Valley Confidential, the new “adult book” from the ever-changing team of ghostwriters laboring under the name Francine Pascal.Įven if you haven’t heard of SVC (yes, I’m going to go ahead and abbreve since it’s going to happen anyway) this might not be a surprise. ![]() ![]() Psst! Have you heard? Sweet Valley’s back-and no, I’m not talking about the Diablo Cody film that seems to have fled from the horizon after the tanking of Jennifer’s Body. ![]()
