This week, Robert’s GI system tackles an overabundance of acid, and our text tackles an age old question: Should girlfriends let their boyfriends spend time with their uncles?
Plus, the most erotic pinball passage in the history of literature (and we would know; we read a lot of pinball fanfic).
Join us for “UncleGate Part 2: This Time It’s Personal” (Sweet Valley High #52, White Lies).

“Barista under Duress” (Sweet Valley High #53, Second Chance)

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.
