This week, beloved side character Olivia has her eyes on the hot new painting teacher at Sweet Valley High, who—spoiler alert—lacks appropriate boundaries.
Join us as we discuss crushes (are they always already diminutive?), the difficulty of describing paintings with text (shapes and colors, colors and shapes), and how to use a lie detector test for maximum drama in “Which Deep Hues?!” (Sweet Valley High #57, Teacher Crush).

“The New President of Varitronics” (Sweet Valley High #58, Brokenhearted)

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.
