Sweet Valley University #1: College Girls
by Laurie John
As a little girl, I grew up alongside Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield. Yes, there were other series I read, Babysitter's Little Sister, Pony Pals, etc, but Sweet Valley Twins were always my favorite. I kept all my childhood books in hopes that one day they would give my daughter the same joy they gave me. I grew up, and unfortunately skipped the twins' middle school and high school years, but as soon as I discovered their adventures continued in college, I bought up a bundle of 50 SVU books on Ebay and started reading!
In this first installment, Jessica and Elizabeth, still as different and lovable as ever, head off to Sweet Valley University. I felt like I was reuniting with all my old childhood friends, and I loved that all the characters were included and, remarkably, going to the same college. A quick, highly enjoyable read that gives readers a taste of everyone in the SVU gang's first few days of college. There is an equal amount of humor and seriousness, absurdity and reality, in this series. Everyone can find someone to relate to, whether you longed for a fresh start or a continuation of high school, were serious about your studies or your sorority, or ever had an adolescent doubt in your college career.
Even if you've never heard of the Wakefield twins, pick up a copy used from Amazon or Thriftbooks and start reading. You won't be able to put this series of 50+ books down--I know I can't!
