Bruce and Lila never got married. They lived together for a while but they never said ‘I do’ – Lila married an Italian count who died in a jet skiing accident and when she came back to Sweet Valley she and Bruce fell in love… but they never married.

Jessice, on the other hand, married Mike McAllery.

Yep, I’m STILL immersed… and I’m 29 now. Still love the SV even all these years later.

Ooooh they never got married, that’s right! Thanks for clearing that one up.

And I love your blog’s name! I hope you get to updating it soon. Sweet Valley stuff I suppose?

Hey! I know this is late compared to when you first posted this, but great piece! I was obsessed with the world of Sweet Valley as well, and wasted hours reading about Jessica and Elizabeth. I came to the same conclusions you did – it’s shallow brain fluff. But man, did it make an impression on me in my teens! I compared myself to the twins (and all the other model-gorgeous Sweet Valley inhabitants). I always paled in comparison to them with my brown hair, brown eyes and average body. But instead of stopping reading the books, I became more immersed in them! What a vicious cycle. Like you, once in a while I pick up a book and reminisce. Lots of fun now that I don’t take it seriously!

Hi!!! I’m an avid reader of sweet valley series. I first started to like reading & buying it when we had a project in english – a book report.Sweet valley “Claim to fame” was the first book that I bought in the series and which I based my project. And so as they say the list went on. I got addicted reading it.Grabe every time na magpunta ako ng bookstore bumibili ako at least 3-6 na sweet valley (59.75 pa nga ang price dati). Minsan dinadayo ko pa ang sm southmall sa las pinas kasi may goodwill bookstore dun at dun kasi ang pinakamalapit na mall sa amin,kasi wala pa non ang sm bacoor. Di ko man na-collect lahat sya pero marami-rami rin naman ang nasa collection ko, ang dami na nga ring hindi naibalik nung mga nanghiram sa akin eh…(paging hehe). Wow that was a decade ago, I stop buying & collecting kasi mahal na at faced-out na yata sya(wala na kasi akong makita sa national bookstore eh). Contented na lang ako kapag may mahihiraman sa mga katulad ko na kapwa nangolekta. Meron din akong sweet dreams,love stories, fear street, nancy drew,hardy boys,etc na pocketbooks. Ang sarap lang mag-reminisce kapag naaalala ang nakaraan noong mga araw na mahilig pa kong mangolekta. I’m a mother now of twins both boys, kapag may free time gusto ko pa ring magbasa ng sweet valley series. Kapag walang magawa binabasa ko na lang ulit yung mga pocketbooks na nasa collection ko. Baka gusto nyong magpahiram or mag-swap, just let me know P-L-E-A-S-E!!! Here’s where u can contact me I live at 75 JM Villanueva St. Poblacion 3B,Imus,Cavite & my landline# is (046)471-2287 & my cellphone# is 0918-4762935. Thank’s (“,)

Ah, SVH. I’ve read ‘Kidnapped’, ‘Jessica Takes Manhattan’, ‘Billie’s Secret’, ‘The Return of William White, part II’, ‘Dear Sister’, ‘Winter Carnival’, ‘Wanted for Murder’, ‘A Stranger in the House’…it’s way too addicting! Shallow, corny, thin…but addicting! I hate the SVH S e n i o r y e a r series. Jessica is annoyingly amusing and Elizabeth is pathetic for bailing her precious sister out all the time. I absolutely hate SVH..so much, I love reading it!

I love Sweet Valley High too… I used to dream also that I also belong to their group & I also had these wonderful life like the wakefield sister’s. I am always day dreaming about them. If there is nothing to do around the house or while I am travelling on my to school, I am always thinking what will it be like to be one of them?!… But as I get older, that fantasy fades away… but I missed those kinds of memory of my teenage years… Life is less complicated. I still have my Sweet Valley books well-kept. I considered them as one of my treasures for my teenage years. We really need to get over it, but we should always think that without those fantasies, we will not realized how to live our lives into reality. By the way, is there anyone knows if there is a website where we could get the past copies of Sweet Dreams Pocketbooks?… I am still craving for the stories because of the wonderful plot & choice of characters. I know right now, most of the books are being transferred to pdf file. Is there anyway I could get a tip on where to get those? Thanks so much in advanced! I really like all the comments that you had about SV twins… hope you will also post some info about SWEET DREAMS & LOVE STORIES POCKETBOOKS… thanks!

Hi! I stumbled upon your blog in one w@wie’s blog and I’ve been reading it since then. anyway, I couldn’t help but comment now on this entry. I loved reading SVH too, but I esp. liked the book that came out that chronicled the family history of the Wakefields and how the twins’ parents ended up together.

Silly as it seems now, I also wanted a bf like Nicholas Morrow. hahaha!

Boo. I think my comment just disappeared. Or was it too long and it just classified as spam? Huhu anyway. :-s I will not type that looong comment anymore (because I blabbed on and on and on) and just say I also LOVE Sweet Valley books. I’m more of an SVT fan though. The book was highly unrealistic for something that’s written in the real life, but I like it because it’s a retreat from my own life. I never wanted to be like them, except maybe have a twin. Hahaha. But it was because of Elizabeth Wakefield that I wanted to be a writer.

I still buy SV books at Booksale when I have the chance. Haha. And I also buy BSC books as well. Haha. It’s fun to retreat to those books once in a while after reading too many heavy novels. =))
