<p>Welcome to episode 9! In this episode we laugh over Jessica and Lila&apos;s confusion over how their latest crush is handsome and yet &apos;only&apos; a construction worker (their words, not ours) in book 19. Then in book 20 we hear about Enid&apos;s plane crash and Liz&apos;s audacious plan to help her move on from her accident. <br/><br/><a href='https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/Z8epllSjbb/'>Intro/Outro music </a></p>

Jessica Runs Away

In this biweekly episodic podcast, 30-somethings Emily and Elizabeth discuss Francine Pascal’s Sweet Valley High series. In addition to revisiting the books they loved as childhood best friends growing up in MA in the 90’s, they also discuss how issues of gender, sexuality, class, and race are addressed in these books, through a lens of YA today.
