We are in the basketball mood this week! Join us as we follow Sweet Valley High’s performance in the playoffs and ponder the important question: are girls allowed to be tall?
Along the way, we discuss theories of style, meet “our first named hag” (Pardo, 2024), and Robert (hereafter known as Flyboy) shares a traumatizing story of having their photo in the news as a youth, in “Which Ear is the Gay Ear?” (Sweet Valley High #55, Perfect Shot).

“Denial Bangle Arguing” (Sweet Valley High #56, Lost at Sea)

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.
