Book #22: TOO MUCH IN LOVE

After years of wide-eyed blogging about the surreal 1980s perfection of Francine Pascal&#39;s Sweet Valley High book series (and the surprising  psychodrama that lurks below the town&#39;s perfectly-tanned surface), host Marissa Flaxbart is now forcing people to read the series with her. 

But beyond its obsession with the ubiquitous-yet-obscure book series, SWEET VALLEY DIARIES is a podcast about nostalgia — &#39;80s nostalgia in particular — and the ways this nostalgia can (spectacularly, hilariously) fail us. It&#39;s a riotous cultural conversation about which parts of the past we long for and which ones we want to leave behind for good. It&#39;s about friendship, honesty, and learning to speak your truth in the face of a boyfriend-stealing cheerleader or an evil triplet. It&#39;s all the life lessons you could ever hope to learn from two size-6, blonde-haired, aqua-eyed, identical 16-year-old twins. Strap in.
