About the author

Francine Paula Pascal was an American author best known for her Sweet Valley series of young adult novels. Sweet Valley High, the backbone of the collection, was made into a television series, which led to several spin-offs, including The Unicorn Club and Sweet Valley University. Although most of these books were published in the 1980s and 1990s, they remained so popular that several titles were re-released decades later.

Reviews

I haven't read this book series since middle/high school, but I loved them at the time. The setting was so ludicrous and the plot 100% what girly ridiculous teenage girls like me thought about. Nothing too risque or shocking, just a fun little story to daydream on. I just considered re-reading, but decided to let my sweet memories remain intact. They're definitely silly books, but better in my opinion than the majority of the Sweet Valley stuff. I tried reading the other books, but this was the only series that ~*spoke to me*~.

Fun, emotional ride for all involved. Not a fan of Elizabeth's sister's tactics but sometimes family is the hardest to befriend.

[Devon Tarantino · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely LOVE this spin off. It picks up right at the end of the University books and is the beginning novel of a six-book story arc dedicated to what Elizabeth does when she walks in on Jessica and Sam. It's fast paced, well written, and I think fans of the series will enjoy it. I know I did!! However, if you've never read the SVH or especially the SVU books, you might be a little lost in the beginning. I still think it's well worth reading, however!

I really enjoyed the Elizabeth spin-off series, mostly because Elizabeth was always my favorite twin by far. I really like seeing what happened in the aftermath of the Jessica-Sam thing. I liked the new characters book introduced and setting and plot that was set up.

I have read so many of these books I can't remember all of them.
