Synopsis

A New York Times Bestseller!

“Before there was Gossip Girl, there was Sweet Valley High…Sweet Valley Confidential makes a compelling enough companion that we actually missed two subway stops because we were caught up in its frothy fun.” —Wall Street Journal

Iconic and beloved identical twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield are all grown up, and navigating the very complicated world of work, love and betrayal in Francine Pascal's long-awaited return to Sweet Valley.

What terrible secret has torn Jessica and Elizabeth apart?

Ten years after Sweet Valley High, the Wakefield twins have had a falling out of epic proportions. When Jessica commits a complete and utter betrayal, Elizabeth flees to New York to escape the pain. Jessica remains in California, dealing with the fallout of her heart-wrenching choices. But with Elizabeth as her enemy, Sweet Valley is no longer the idyllic town of their youth.

Elizabeth soon decides the only way to heal her broken heart is to get revenge for Jessica's duplicity. Always the "good" twin, Elizabeth about to turn the tables…

Francine Pascal finally unfolds the continuing story of Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield—and the whole gang from Sweet Valley—that will delight and surprise the millions of fans of these beloved characters.

Goodreads review by Jennifer Ross on April 04, 2011

I've had just one personal day from the office forever. I've been holding on to it and just dreaming of when to use it.

Goodreads review by Angelc on April 28, 2011

I didn't think this book was as awful as the other reviews are making it out to be. However, the author makes really bold choices about her beloved characters, and some of the choices are bound to make long time fans angry. While the book isn't rocket science, it's the equivalent of a juicy soap ope......more

So when I learned that a brand spankin' new Sweet Valley book was coming out--and that the twins were all grown up--I was ecstatic! I wasn't a religious fan of the series and haven't read every single book in the various s......more

Quotes

“If you're of a certain age, you grew up with Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, the beautiful twins of idyllic Sweet Valley, California, who have been immortalized in hundreds of books and even a television show… finding out what happened to the twins and their inner circle, courtesy of narrator January Lavoie, was actually more exciting than my high school reunion…this adult novel stands alone as just plain fun…and really entertaining!” —Audible.com

“Overall, this was a fun story that will satisfy a thirst for all ‘Sweet Valley High' fans of then and now. It had a CW feel, as I could see it fleshed out into a television series on that channel. I enjoyed it and found it easy to follow. I was thrilled to be reunited with characters I loved so much as a pre-teen.” —Chick Lit Central: The Blog

“I thought the audiobook of Sweet Valley Confidential was a fun way to pass time...I especially liked the audiobook format and how parts were divided up 'regionally' telling about what was going on in New York and Sweet Valley, back and forth...have a spring fling and just enjoy this one!” —Bookin' with Bingo

“Narrator January Lavoie lends life to well-known characters and ushers listeners with ease through this Sweet Valley reunion. Recommended for fans of the original series and those who enjoy family films or twin stories. This one will find a home in most public libraries.” —Library Journal
