Welcome to Litsy!

This is one of my favorites! Jessica has an identity crisis & is fed up with being mistaken for Liz. So she flatters Lila out of her Parisian wardrobe & dyes her hair black & speaking with a vague accent, causing quite the stir! Liz is miserable & feels like she lost her best friend & then loses her diary on top of it! Liz & Jeffrey fight too (Liz thinks he likes Jess & her new look more than her), but lands a mall modeling job that Jess wanted!

It‘s, like, TOTALLY time for Sweet Valley on my podcast (finally!). In episode 19, ‘80s and ‘90s teen fiction expert/enthusiast Gabrielle Moss joins SSR to gab about Jessica + Elizabeth Wakefield. There‘s plenty of good in this series (escapism, fashion, hilarity) + plenty of not-so-good (privileged behavior, disturbing plotlines, problematic language). And doesn‘t this barcode on the cover of my book make you nostalgic? Link to listen in bio! 🎧
