Danielle brings back a classic with a recap of another Sweet Valley High by Francine Pascal. Shockingly, there are no murder twins in this arc (yet) but there are werewolves (?); so, you win some, you lose some. When Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield get a summer internship at the London Journal, somehow on the crime beat, they stumble upon a grisly murder that everyone is pretty sure was committed by werewolves. Except Sam, who, surprisingly, disregards the plot entirely to focus on the twins’ romantic entanglements. Between Jessica getting frisky with an adult (ew) and Elizabeth double (triple?) timing her beau back home (also ew) Sam questions if anyone actually likes the twins (no?). Also, there’s a plot about a missing princess? Possibly unrelated to the werewolves, just, like, a bonus story in case the werewolves and murder weren’t enough. Join Sam as he suffers through Part one of the three-book saga from 1994 Love and Death in London, A Date with a Werewolf, and Beware the Wolfman. Or affectionately called Sweet Valley High: The Wakefield Twins Suck.
