Sweet Valley High	comment	Book series running from 1983 to 2003, created by Francine Pascal. Spawned a TV series made by Saban Entertainment, several Spin-Off book series, a board game and other merchandise. Almost 200 books were published in the main series alone; over 600 were published including the spinoff series. Stories were handed off to ghost writers and generally hit bookstores once a month.The series centers on Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, identical twins living in Sweet Valley, California. Elizabeth is serious, studious and levelheaded. Jessica is flirtatious and free-spirited; often her zany schemes drive the plot.Until book #95, plots alternated between two types. In some, the main plot focused on the twins. In others, the focus was on another student at Sweet Valley High School, with a subplot devoted to the twins. In some of the latter type, Elizabeth Wakefield helped the focus character with some personal problem. Social issues such as racism, anorexia, and drug abuse were addressed in this manner.Beginning with book #95, the series' format shifted. Books were grouped into miniseries, usually of three books, based on a theme. The first such series, which spanned seven books, was about a sociopath named Margo, who happened to look just like the twins, traveling to Sweet Valley intent on assuming Elizabeth's identity. (This Evil Twin later turned out to have an Evil Twin of her own.) With the shift in format, the storylines became increasingly fantastic, some dealing with such topics as werewolves and vampires.In addition to the standard, numbered books, special editions included: Super Editions. The twins go on vacation and/or celebrate holidays. Later in the series, the Super Editions focused on supporting characters. Super Thrillers. The twins become entangled in mysteries. Super Star Stories. These focus on supporting characters. Magna Editions. Large-scale stories. Included the Sagas, which revealed the twins' family history, and the Secret Diaries, which were basically clip shows. A Night To Remember: Special super-sized novel, the only one of the rare few specials which is canon in the main series. Taking place inbetween #94 and #95 of the main series, it tells the story of the "Jungle Prom", a dance that destroys the status quo of the main books and sets up the "Evil Twin" arc.Series in The 'Verse included: Sweet Valley High: the flagship. The twins are 16-year-old juniors at Sweet Valley High. Jessica is a cheerleader and Elizabeth writes for the school paper. (181 books) Sweet Valley Twins: the first Spin-Off. The twins are 12-year-old sixth-graders at Sweet Valley Middle School (and in case you were working on the math, no, it's not right; they should have been 11 years old.) Jessica is in a clique called the Unicorns, who got their own Spin-Off. (144 books) Starting in 2022, the series became remastered into middle grade graphic novels. Sweet Valley University: the twins go off to college. Jessica quickly loses her virginity and briefly gets married. Elizabeth attracts a cyber-stalker. (81 books) Sweet Valley Kids: the twins are 7 year-old second-graders. Sometimes they solve mysteries. (88 books) Unicorn Club: Spin-Off of Sweet Valley Twins.(25 books) Sweet Valley Junior High: the twins are now eighth-graders at a new school following rezoning. (30 books) Sweet Valley Senior Year: the twins are now 17-year-old seniors. After a devastating earthquake hits Sweet Valley (on the twins' birthday, no less,) many students from flattened El Carro High transfer to Sweet Valley High. With this entry, the series reverted to less fantastic storylines, and the characters were more culturally diverse. (48 books) Elizabeth: Elizabeth travels to England, works as a maid, and loses her virginity. (6 books) Sweet Valley Confidential: this is a stand alone novel which was released in March 2011 and chronicles the lives of the twins and their friends at age 27. The Sweet Life: a six-part ebook series that began in July 2012, which is a Spin-Off of sorts. It picks up three years after Sweet Valley Confidential and the twins and their friends are 30.

Sweet Valley High / int_22a27b19	type	Alpha Bitch
Sweet Valley High / int_22a27b19	comment	Alpha Bitch: This franchise had many, despite there typically only being one at a time—understandable because of the scope of the franchise and the various ghost writers working pretty independently from each other. Let's just be happy this series doesn't take place in a coherent timeline, meaning most of these girls have never met each other. In the high school books, the Lila Fowler/Cara Walker/Amy Sutton/Jessica Wakefield Girl Posse socially rules the school, and they can make or break the lives of the other students (girls especially). All four are superior—or feel/act they are—to the other students, but within them, Lila Fowler is the queen bee, mostly because she's the Rich Bitch of the lot (and that says a lot, given that by normal standards everyone in Sweet Valley is rich and Jessica herself lives a luxurious life). Elizabeth often remarks that she doesn't understand that Jessica is so deferential to Lila. Jessica acted as the Alpha Bitch to other characters, though, most notably in "Wrong Kind of Girl" against Annie. In the University books, Enid/Alex Rollins became one (surprisingly, because in high school she had a bland personality and hated the popular cliques) and Allison Quinn had a leading role in another (and was Jessica's main rival). Janet Howell and Ellen Riteman int the "Twins" (middle school) books Kimberly Haver in the "Unicorn Club" (middle school) books; there's also Amanda Harmon who leads the rival "Eight Times Eight" club. Melissa Fox in "Senior Year"; Initally Jessica's rival, but they eventually reconcile by the final year of the series. Lacey Frells in "Jr. High"; once again as a foil for Jessica. Fortunately, both girls have Kristin Seltzer as a mutual friend which forced them to relucantly tolerate each other's company. And this doesn't even go into secondary characters such as Heather Mallone, Tamera Chase, Rachel Grant, etc.

Sweet Valley High / int_355007c3	type	Brilliant, but Lazy
Sweet Valley High / int_355007c3	comment	Brilliant, but Lazy: Jessica. Although her primary concerns are boys, clothes, and parties, it is stated in one of the early books that she gets good grades in most of her classes. Later books indicate that she's a poor student, but one who could do better if she applied herself (which in fact does happen several times throughout the series). In particular, one book has her getting an excellent score on the SATs and considerably outscoring Elizabeth, despite barely studying, and everyone assuming that she must have cheated somehow, as this is inconsistent with her typical academic performance. Later, Jessica and Elizabeth had to retake the test (due to the aforementioned cheating accusations). This time it was Jessica who studied like crazy and Elizabeth who relaxed and didn't care. The result? Poor Jessica gets horrible scores and Elizabeth gets great scores, lending even more credence to the (untrue) cheating accusations.

Sweet Valley High / int_35543514	comment	Just Eat Gilligan: In The Evil Twin, Margo's scheme to pose as Elizabeth is frequently hampered because she doesn't act like Elizabeth; people often think she's Jessica trying to pull a "twin switch." Margo also decides she'd rather have Jessica's best friend and clothes rather than Elizabeth's. Despite all this, she doesn't think to try taking Jessica's place instead - which could have succeeded. (The one time she does consider it, it's only because she's briefly alone in the house with Jessica; and quickly goes back to her original plan of becoming "Elizabeth.") Averted in Return of the Evil Twin where Margo has decided she'd make a much more convincing Jessica, although this causes friction with Nora because she wants to be Jessica.

Sweet Valley High / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: Repeatedly. Elizabeth would go on and on ad nauseam about how people deserved to be forgiven for their mistakes and given a second chance. Apparently, this only applied to her friends, as she never once showed the same compassion to Jessica's clique. Additionally, Jessica was constantly criticized for her bad behavior (promiscuity, snobbery, unfaithfulness, etc) whereas similar behavior from Elizabeth was glossed over. A perfect example is book 10, Wrong Kind of Girl: Annie Whitman is called "Easy Annie" because she goes out with a different boy every night and dresses provocatively. Jessica, who does the EXACT same thing, condemns Annie for it and goes as far to keep her off the cheerleading squad, while on the other hand Elizabeth insists that Annie shouldn't be judged for her behavior—even though she constantly chastises Jessica for the same thing. An even better example if you compare how Elizabeth treated her friend Enid to how she treated Jessica's friend Cara. Elizabeth practically demanded that everyone give Enid a second chance and went berserk if anyone dared to even mention her wild past, but she refused to acknowledge that Cara had changed and was just as deserving of redemption.

She writes for her High School newpaper, and occasionally even for Sweet Valley's "real" newspaper (despite her still being a high school girl). By the time of Sweet Valley Confidential she is working as an off-Broadway theatre critic.

Sweet Valley High / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: A Night To Remember (the prequel to the Evil Twin Novel): the big prom that Elizabeth planned, to the point of going all Captain Ahabian, goes horribly horribly wrong when a rival school crashes the prom and a full-scale riot breaks out with Todd leading the charge. Furthermore, the violence of the riot causes Lila (mentally unstable from being nearly raped) to have a nervous breakdown and attack a guidance counselor who she thinks is trying to rape her, and she basically has to be placed in a mental institution that very night. And Elizabeth, after Jessica spikes her drink, drives home with Jessica's boyfriend (the only one who was actually good to her) and kills him dead. On the Edge ends with Regina Marrow dying. In The Sweet Life, Elizabeth successfully clears Bruce's name after he is framed for sexually assaulting a woman, only for him to dump Elizabeth (who risked everything to clear his name, to the point of becoming estranged from everyone around her) for Annie Whitman, his LAWYER! At the freaking press conference being held in his honor after Elizabeth cleared his name! Also, Jessica and Todd reaffirm their relationship (much to the horror of those who were hoping they would break up) and Lila, who has been faking a pregnancy to keep her husband from leaving her, is exposed BUT is forgiven, as it turns out that the sex Lila had with her husband, right before she started the pregnancy scam, DID lead to her becoming pregnant. So she escapes punishment by way of her husband forgiving the big lie after it came true, by pure luck! The Original Series: An earthquake hits Sweet Valley on the twins' 17th birthday. It destroys most of the town and the following characters die: Olivia Davidson and Ronnie Edwards; Roger Patman is believed dead but turns up later. Devon abandons Elizabeth, Todd wants nothing to do with Elizabeth and leaves Sweet Valley for a while, Jessica tries (and fails) to save a little girl and falls into a deep depression. "Friend Against Friend". Andy and Neil's long time friendship is over.

Sweet Valley High / int_50ed8b0b	comment	In #88:Love letters for sale, Elizabeth and Jessica start a letter-writing business for people who can't or don't want to write the letters themselves i.e. One man wants to quit his job but can't write the resignation without telling his boss what he really thinks of him. Elizabeth takes part because she's saving up to buy Todd a designer warm-up jacket (possibly NBL merchandise?) as a surprise gift. But by the time she's earned the money, Todd has picked a bad fight and teeters on the verge of breaking up with her because he feels so neglected. Todd even anonymously hires the letter-writing service (he doesn't know it's Elizabeth and Jessica running it) to write a break-up letter... and simply signs his name to and sends Elizabeth the typed copy he's issued, not even bothering to copy it in his own handwriting. (Of course, they make up and in the final scene they debut not only his jacket, but the matching jacket Todd bought for Elizabeth as an apology for throwing such a hissy fit and even going on a date with another girl, instead of just talking to Elizabeth about feeling abandoned in the first place.)

Sweet Valley High / int_643618e5	comment	Replacement Goldfish: Surfer Bill Chase falls in love with Elizabeth because she resembles (in looks and personality) his late girlfriend. The twins' brother Steve repeatedly dumps girlfriend Cara to pursue girls who resemble his late girlfriend Tricia. Adding insult to injury, he refuses to see any of these girls as their own person and instead tries to mold them to his memories of Tricia, including the way they wear their hair ("Don't put your hair up, Tricia always wore it down."), the things they do ("Let's go to the aquarium! Tricia loved the aquarium!"), and even the food they eat ("Vanilla? But Tricia always had chocolate ice cream!"), making them feel bad when they don't comply, all the while insisting "She's just like Tricia!" Only when one of the girls finally blasts him for this and declares that she deserves better than being used as a substitute does he realize how unhealthy his behavior is. One of the books in the Twins series had Mary, a classmate of the girls', constantly coming over to spend time with them. It soon became obvious that her motive was to spend time with the girls' mother. Even Elizabeth eventually got irritated with this, until it was finally revealed that Alice Wakefield bore a strong resemblance to Mary's mother, whom she hadn't seen since she was a little girl. (In an especially dark plotline for this genre, it was revealed that Mary had been abducted by a friend of her mother's, then eventually abandoned and shipped from one foster home to another.)

Sweet Valley High / int_71642c70	comment	Viewers Are Goldfish: A rare literary example. See Drinking Game - Sweet Valley High, under "take a drink", for the worst offenders. Try to find a volume in the main series that doesn't mention that the Wakefields live in a split-level, ranch-style home on Calico Drive; have a Spanish-style kitchen; that Jessica's room is completely brown and dubbed "The Hershey Bar" (in later books, it's completely purple) and is always a complete mess; that the twins drive a Spider Fiat (Jeep Wrangler in later books); and have identical gold lavalieres they received from their parents on their 16th birthday. These facts will be burned into your mind forever. There's also the twins' appearance: they're both 5'6", with perfect size 6 figures (later reduced to a size 4), matching dimples, sparkling blue-green eyes, golden tans, and sun-kissed blonde hair. And that their only difference is that Elizabeth has a small birthmark on her shoulder which Jessica doesn't and that Jessica NEVER wears a watch (it's how their cheating boyfriends can tell them apart, or realise they've been duped into snogging the wrong girl... again). The fact that Jessica always is "borrowing without permission" Elizabeth's clothes - despite Jessica also always putting down Elizabeth for the latter's clothes being too plain. It's probably due to a combination of Jessica's room being such a mess that she can't find her own stuff and her not keeping up her laundry, and Jessica's indecision and fickleness.

Averted in the last two seasons after the actor change; in most episodes of seasons 3 and 4, Todd and Elizabeth are not together after their break-up (though they eventually get back together), and Todd interacts a lot more with the other characters.

Sweet Valley High / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: In SVU, Steven had a live-in girlfriend named Billie. They were engaged and expecting a child but she had a miscarriage. Then she just disappeared with no explanation. note Though in the 2010s sequel book set 20 years later, Steven is revealed to be gay and in a relationship with Aaron, so probably we can assume he realized at a certain point that he was gay and in love with Aaron, and then broke up with Billie. Jessica's ex-husband Mike got Put on a Bus and in a later book, The Bus Came Back. Nina Harper also suddenly disappeared. She lived with the twins and two male friends but got fed up with Sam's messiness and moved out with no further mention. Although she was Elizabeth's best friend, there was no explanation given for her disappearance.

But it's sometimes played straight with the main or secondary characters—Jessica and her friends often get called out for doing this to others—but rarely explicitly punished, whereas behavior from Elizabeth that could be considered this is rarely even acknowledged.

Nope, doesn't happen. Steve has psychological issues after a girlfriend of his dies. He tries to mold every girlfriend he has after that to her image. He doesn't seek help for this unhealthy behaviour. Played straight in The Sweet Life as Jessica and Todd (and Lila and Ken) are having marital problems but they don't see a therapist. The Wakefield parents don't seek therapy or counseling during their marital problems. This could probably apply to all the characters at some point—Emily Mayer's family could certainly have used some counseling, Bruce could have, etc.

And the twins' parents can't even tell when complete strangers are impersonating their daughters. Todd notices a difference in the fake Elizabeth before her own parents! They were also quick to make excuses for Elizabeth's misdeeds while reading Jessica the riot act for hers—in one especially bad example, they blame Jessica for something they KNOW Elizabeth did (though Jessica usually manages to weasel her way out of punishment), not to mention completely oblivious and insensitive to Jessica's genuine insecurity about Elizabeth's "perfection." It took Jessica running away—twice— for it to dawn on them how troubled she was. Although Jessica and Elizabeth are adults in The Sweet Life, their lives are falling apart. Where are Ned and Alice? On a cruise. They don't even bother to come home when Steven and Aaron's baby is kidnapped! Also many of the parents in the series (to the point of neglect or even abuse in some cases). The inevitable outcome of this can clearly be seen in Sweet Valley Confidential, which is set a decade later and where we see how screwed up everyone has become as adults.

Elizabeth takes part because she's saving up to buy Todd a designer warm-up jacket (possibly NBL merchandise?) as a surprise gift. But by the time she's earned the money, Todd has picked a bad fight and teeters on the verge of breaking up with her because he feels so neglected. Todd even anonymously hires the letter-writing service (he doesn't know it's Elizabeth and Jessica running it) to write a break-up letter... and simply signs his name to and sends Elizabeth the typed copy he's issued, not even bothering to copy it in his own handwriting. (Of course, they make up and in the final scene they debut not only his jacket, but the matching jacket Todd bought for Elizabeth as an apology for throwing such a hissy fit and even going on a date with another girl, instead of just talking to Elizabeth about feeling abandoned in the first place.) The twin actresses (Brittany Daniel and Cynthia Daniel) who portray the Wakefield twins in the series, have repeatedly mentioned in interviews how they're the exact opposites of the Wakefield twins they each portray—Brittany Daniel portrays the extraverted, outspoken, scheming Jessica Wakefield while she's the exact opposite; while Cynthia Daniel portrays the shy and intellectual Elizabeth Wakefield while she's the exact opposite.

Sweet Valley High / int_c3448a6f	comment	Informed Attribute: Readers are often told that Elizabeth is loyal to Todd and, unlike Jessica, has no interest in dating every cute boy she meets. However, there are many examples of Elizabeth leaving and/or cheating on Todd with other boys, among them Luke Shepherd (books 104-106), Joey Mason (books 123-125), and Devon Whitelaw (books 138-142).

Sweet Valley High / int_c435ec5d	comment	Aesop Amnesia: Jessica would frequently try to pull off a zany scheme. More often than not, it would blow up in her face, yet it wouldn't be long before she was trying to pull off another stunt. Sadly, some of these stunts were genuine efforts at improving herself or trying something new—cooking class, music lessons—so it seems rather unfair that this should go as badly as her usual conniving.

During the late #30's to mid-#40's books, Bruce's position as head jerkass is taken by Kurt Anderson, who is so arrogant that Jessica refuses to go out with him even once, despite being a tennis team star who has 'movie star looks'. In one of his most memorable appearances Kurt organizes a nasty catfishing scheme (pre-internet, even!) that infuriates Elizabeth so much that she runs a similar prank of her own, leaving Kurt humiliated and considerably out of pocket at the most recent school dance. Kurt's such a jerk that Elizabeth's scheme is a candidate for the Awesome page.
