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.

It was an echo of my own diary at that age! Almost eerie except for all the kidnapping.

Well, this was pretty lame. Her "steamy affair" with Ken Matthews lasted all of twenty pages. But she is a lot sassier in her diary than in person, so at least there's that.

Damn, Elizabeth was such a little sneak behind people's backs.

This book blew my mind!

Elizabeth, typical, studious, pretty and simple.But there's more to her than meets the eye.

I became a Sweet Valley fan around age 10 or 11 and while I read some of the regular series books, these Secret Diaries and the other magna editions were my favorites. The drama was over the top when reading about it in a "greatest hits" format like this. This was such fun to reread.

Even as a kid I thought it was odd that Elizabeth had the stereotype of being the faithful one-man-woman when all she did was serially cheat on her long-term boyfriends. At least Jessica was honest and just played the field without making any bones about what she was up to.

Elizabeth was low key bad af

I'm not going to rate this book - as I'm not it's intended audience and when I originally read it all those years ago I would definately rated it so much higher than today.

When I started my first thought was, I can't believe I read so many of these books. Its like reading a soap opera - almost every page has someone crying, its all about boys and its so melodramtic!

This particular book was the diray behind books 20-30, and it was good to pick up the different pieces of story that I would have read in those oringinal numbers.

The one question I still have (and I know a college series was also written) is did Elizabeth and Todd ever get married?????

SBC: 2 of 2 childhood chapter books

This book was kinda confusing at the epilogue because I thought that everything that happened in the diary was happening at that moment. But I figured it out in the end. It had the perfect amount of action, heartbreak, and love... This book is definitely good for girls that want to read very well rounded book.

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