So after my month long hiatus, I'm back. Not sure why I quit writing, but I just did and now I'm back, ready to go. Anyways, if you didn't already know, Francine Pascal just released, (like last month), a new book starring Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield! The infamous twins from Sweet Valley. How exciting! I remember reading
Sweet Valley Twins and
Sweet Valley High. And if you were anything like me, when these series were popular, say 15 years ago, then you couldn't get enough of Jessica and Elizabeth. The new book is called
Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later and it's awesome.

The girls are now 27. Elizabeth lives in NYC and Jessica lives in Sweet Valley. Remember Todd Wilkins? Oh yeah, he also plays a MAJOR part in the book! I bought this book last Friday and finished it yesterday. Four days was all it took to get wrapped up into the lives of the twins before it was over and I was sad to see it end. Granted the writing isn't the best and the story can be jumpy/choppy at times, but if you ever loved the Wakefield twins, then you have to read this! Reading the book definitely took me back in time. It was a trip down memory lane.

| i mean, look at these retro pics of Jess and Lizzie. look like the old book covers?? (from inside cover of book). |
But now, it's 2011 and the twins and I have grown older together, we're practically the same age! If you weren't yet convinced that you need to read this book, here are a few more names that might jog your memory---Lila Fowler, Ken Matthews, Bruce Patman, Steven Wakefield, Caroline Pearce, Enid Rollins, Winston Egbert. You just HAVE to read this book to see what everyone's up to!

| look how happy it made me. |
