Ever since I read Confidential when it came out and now this serial I've been trying to feel connected to these characters the way I did years before with sweet valley high and university but it's increasingly hard when the characters you know are not themselves.
This was a good read but not the sweet valley I know and love.

Meanwhile, Bruce is sick of waiting for Liz to find the intern. He hires a private investigator who tells Bruce to meet him at a bar because he has big information. He tells Bruce that the girl's name is Robin and shows him a picture of her house with her address. He is heavy with alcohol and decides that right now would be a perfect time to confront Robin and ask her why she is ruining his life. He goes up to the house and, I kid you not, starts banging on the windows and yelling at her through the door.
He cracks a window in his quest to intimidate her because that worked out real well for you before, buddy. Even though Liz is across town with Robin Platt in her new location, imagine my surprise when there really IS a blonde-haired Robin Platt at this location who comes to the door and watches Bruce get arrested by the cops. He can't understand why they aren't arresting HER. Must be the alcohol. Maybe she's not Robin Platt at all. Maybe she's Margo or Nora Black in a new disguise? Fingers crossed, ya'll, until next week!! Jul 18, Sara rated it it was amazing Shelves: The second installment of the Sweet Life e-serial was every bit as awesome as the first!
Sweet Valley Confidential: The Sweet Life: #2 Lies and Omissions | Snark Valley
And, just as the pre-release buzz promised, the end left me breathlessly wanting me. I need the next part to be out NOW - I can't wait another week! More characters from Sweet Valley High return in this installment, namely Annie Whitman, and both Steve Wakefield and Aaron Dallas make longer appearances than they did in the first book.

Todd's still a complete moron and has yet to punch people like he did in high school, but I can only hope that later installments feature this. Mainly, I'm just loving the continuity in this series with regards to the Sweet Valley High series. The twins' gold lavaliere is mentioned they're still wearing them! I especially loved a scene where Lila and Jessica are trying to talk to each other about their problems but are both so self-involved that they're talking past each other, not with each other.
And of course there's an awesome note that Steven's greatest fear is having his daughter turn out as spoiled as Jessica. My only complaint is that this was too short! I know it's a novella, but still I suppose I could also complain that the drama is ridiculous, but why would I do that when it kept me glued to the pages?
Aug 06, Nicole rated it liked it Shelves: The ghostwriter is back! And with it, the continuity! And the relatively believable dialogue! It has most of the makings of a good Sweet Valley book: Angry Todd is angry? Meddling Liz is meddling? Despicable Lila is despicable?
Sociopathic Jessica is sociopathic? Everyone is lying, manipulating, and acting like they are in high school? Motherflipping check , yo! The only things missing are Bruce's Porsche and anything that makes Lila likable. It's hard to decide who is the dum The ghostwriter is back! It's hard to decide who is the dumbest person in this series. Elizabeth for view spoiler [befriending her boyfriend's maybe rape victim hide spoiler ] and not telling him?
Lies and Omissions
Jessica for view spoiler [quitting her job to get Angry Todd back because apparently he lives in the s and expects his woman to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen hide spoiler ]? Angry Todd for being a complete Neanderthal about having view spoiler [a fulfilled wife who juggles work and motherhood hide spoiler ]? Bruce for view spoiler [drunkenly attempting to break into his maybe rape victim's house in the middle of the night hide spoiler ]? Lila for view spoiler [driving Ken away by being a raging bitch and then luring him back by pretending to be pregnant hide spoiler ]?
That last one wasn't really a spoiler; I just got carried away. I think the most upsetting thing about this installment is that Lila is a completely miserable shrew. She has done nothing with her life and the big crowning accomplishment of her adulthood is being on True Housewives of Sweet Valley and apparently everyone is supposed to be proud of her for this. I always had such high hopes for her. Jul 15, Marilyn rated it it was amazing. I read it in less than an hour!! Can't wait for the next one to come out next sunday - July I've been following 'the twins' since , and I'm finding it hard to stop!
Aug 12, Cheryl rated it liked it. In this book, readers find that Jessica and Todd's relationship is on the rocks still. Jessica has made a big mistake. She slept with Liam O'Connor. Jessica figures though that it was a one time thing and as long as Todd does not find out, she can make things right and get her family back together. Elizabeth has found Robin Platt.
She is the intern that is accusing Bruce of sleeping with her The Sweet Life: She is the intern that is accusing Bruce of sleeping with her. Once Elizabeth hears Robin's story, Elizabeth starts having doubts about Bruce's innocences. Especially, when Bruce's story has some holes in his story. With Elizabeth wanting to protect Robin, her and her relationship with Bruce becomes strained. Lila is determined to win back her husband, Ken Matthews. She will not let some other housewife have her husband. Steven Wakefield and his partner, Aaron are adjusting to their life together with their baby girl, Emma.
Caroline Pearce is Sweet Valley's resident bitch. This is why when she learns that Jessica and Liam slept together. She can not wait to spill the beans on this juicy gossip. First off, I like the concept of this mini series of books. It is like reading about a soap opera. With the old Sweet Valley books, the twins did find themselves in trouble but nothing that they could not deal with and usually by the end of the book, everything was back to normal. Grown up Elizabeth and Jessica have to deal with the real world.
Jessica is her usual self. She gives into temptation too easy and falls into bed with Liam. Still not too sure about her and Todd together. While, I know Elozabeth and Todd probably would not have lasted, I still can not picture Jessica and Todd as a couple who have a son. Todd has trust issues with Jessica. I can not blame him. There is no change with Elizabeth either.

She falls for Robin's story too easily. Not to say that maybe it is true but if she really loves Bruce like she says she does, then she would have his side until she learns the truth. Also, Lila is acting like a spoiled brat. She has a great husband in Ken but she of course can not see it until it is too late. Steven and Aaron make a nice couple with their daughter Emma. However, their story did not really help add anything to the main story line. I am getting into this series more and more. This series is a guilty pleasure without all the calories.

Another wonderful installment in The Sweet Life series and I look forward to reading the next six to come: Mar 23, Bree rated it it was ok. Why do they keep making them cliffhangers? I'll never be able to stop reading this crap. My brain is rotting. I will say that the writing in this one is slightly better. And calling the books episodes is right on.
It's like the book version of crappy TV. Guess I'm in it for the long haul. Sep 24, Kelsey rated it liked it. Well I couldn't resist. In the same way I sometimes get sucked into really bad television you know is really bad, I get a little sucked into the Sweet Life. I sometimes think about all the much more productive and enlightening things I could be doing with my life, the same way I think about those things if I happen to be on the couch watching the newest reality show unfold before me with a mix of horror and disgust at the show and also annoyance at myself for watching 20 minutes of it before cha Well I couldn't resist.
I sometimes think about all the much more productive and enlightening things I could be doing with my life, the same way I think about those things if I happen to be on the couch watching the newest reality show unfold before me with a mix of horror and disgust at the show and also annoyance at myself for watching 20 minutes of it before changing the channel, or getting off the couch.
The book continues on the same path of attempts at twists and turns that we all see coming because they follow the classic Sweet Valley formula- but that's why I love it. The classic Sweet Valley formula is familiar and so easy to follow. I read these when I have down time at work and its perfect because I'm often interrupted I mean I am work, so when someone wants me to actually do work, I drop the book and do it and its so easy to pick back up and remember where I was at before.
I still feel the warm nostalgia for the books and think back the hours I spent reading them as kids. I love that old characters come up making cameos, like "Easy Annie," and its fun to see how they've turned out. Despite the poor writing and even story telling, I'm guessing I'll be reading all the books in this serial.
These are entertaining in a brainless, need something easy to read when not feeling well, way. I'm not going to bother recapping the plot. I just want to say how, in an odd way, these actually seem to be less ridiculous and trying to be more realistic than their High School counterparts. They're still trashy and shallow, but it's like they're trying to be less trashy and shallow. This 2nd part of the serial cont These are entertaining in a brainless, need something easy to read when not feeling well, way.
This 2nd part of the serial contains more references back to the SVH series than part 1 did. Which is probably fun if you remember all the details of the SVH series. These serials are actually making me want to source 2nd hand copies of SVH books and read them! I always did regret selling off my copy of Double Love it was parental pressure! Jul 16, Victoria rated it really liked it Shelves: This second serial book picks up right where The Sweet Life 1: It is a lot shorter, and a much faster read - especially considering the various cliffhangers that it ends on.
And while the pairings amongst the key characters are not ones that I would have selected, so I don't feel invested in their relationships working out, I am definitely excited to see what happens next! I am now officially hooked and looking forward to what next week will brin This second serial book picks up right where The Sweet Life 1: I am now officially hooked and looking forward to what next week will bring to these soap operatic plots! This entire set up of weekly releases of short novels reinforces the way the original books were released, so this just feels like a much more authentic continuation of the series!
Apr 15, Melinda Elizabeth rated it liked it. This short instalment allows us to get right in there with the lies, and watch as the truth is revealed in that pearl clutching outrage that Pascall is so known for. Aug 04, Jenna rated it it was amazing. I am a little disappointed that the author decided to omit events from the SVU series, but I'm rather forgiving. These books are once again making me addicted to everything about them.
It also may help that I grew up obsessed with the series. This one finds me really not liking Bruce Patman anymore and that's too bad because at first I was really enjoying the new Bruce. Oct 15, Selina rated it liked it. While I still love the Wakefield twins, this melodrama strikes me as too similar to fanfiction. Will I stop reading the rest of the mini books? But does it mean that I am really enjoying them?
Elizabeth is really annoying me with her do-gooder and flipflopping ways. The only bits I like are about Todd and Jessica. That random chapter about Steven and his partner Aaron was seemingly out of left field. I'm sure it will come into play again soon.
And poor Ken and Lila Aug 09, Melyssa Dawn Michaels rated it liked it. I still believe right now that they should have left this future sweet valley stuff alone. Apr 08, Heather Thibdeaux rated it liked it Shelves: Former snake turned good guy Bruce is accused of attacking a woman. I'm still having issues believing that he and Liz are a couple. And Liz is playing Junior High pajama party with his accuser. Some things don't change: Jessica is still screwing up and Lila's still a bitch. I'm still reeling from the fact that their brother Steve is gay. Never saw that coming.
Jul 06, Jessica rated it it was ok. Overall this series is pretty stupid.
