This week, we have a love triangle nobody cares about in the A plot. Thankfully, the B plot involves Jess flexing her comedic chops and evolving into a character actress in addition to a leading lady.
Join us for a discussion of fraternity hazing, Oreos, and the trope of the secretly sensitive asshole, in “Assaultmaker” (Sweet Valley High #47, Troublemaker).

“Reddest Head” (Sweet Valley High #48, Slam Book Fever)

Sweet Valley Hive is the hottest new book club to hit the school! Join us (Robert Marx, newbie and Rebecca Pardo, superfan) as we neurotically parse the text, subtext, and outfits of Sweet Valley High, the beloved soapy series of the 80s. From school dances to amnesia to hysterical paralysis, we’ll cover the trials and tribulations of America’s most troubled and triumphant twins.
