Because it just wouldn’t be a Sweet Valley High novel without plenty of underage drinking and an attempted rape or two. This time with psychotic New Yorkers!

 

In a nutshell: beautiful Suzanne Devlin, the daughter of one of Mr. Wakefield’s college roommates, comes to visit Sweet Valley from New York City. She’s totally unhinged, but she pretends to be sweet and kind and everyone loves her. So, naturally, nobody suspects that she could be making up her accusations of attempted rape. Oh, and she steals Elizabeth’s lavaliere. What a bitch. Meanwhile, Jessica goes to New York City and gets drunk and almost date raped for real.  This is a little long, because the plot was actually sort of complicated to describe.

 

 

Sweet Valley Twins do Narnia, sort of, but not as good as that. And there are living dolls.  This writeup was a special request from katranna. I remember liking it a lot when I read it in seventh grade, but I’m sorry to say that it didn’t really stand the test of time. This is probably pretty light on snark; I don’t read fantasy novels, so I don’t have any basis for comparison here.
