An Underwhelming Romeo and Juliet

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.
