It‘s the 4th #SweetValleyValentinesDay & naturally, there will be another dance to celebrate! But this time it‘s a “street dance” open to the high school too. Unfortunately, the basketball team has an away game & all the best boys won‘t be there! Jessica hears about visiting cousins the right ages & tries to snag them while Steven decides to “play the field” & date shallow Jill Hale again! Luckily, love is in the air & all ends well after schemes!

It‘s the “first” (okay, not the actual first!) boy/girl dance at SVMS. Lila‘s awful new neighbor, Veronica Brooks keeps bragging about her old school & has her competitive sights set on none other than Todd! And when Jessica ditches Aaron for Bruce, Liz consoles Aaron—& winds up kissing him! But for a #SweetValleyValentinesDay, Ellen hosts another boy/girl party where all the mixed-up couples can be set to rights! Make-up kisses & a food fight!

JenlovesJT47 This was always one of my faves! 3mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 It‘s such a fun one!! Though despite their excitement, it‘s definitely not the first boy/girl dance! That was what Aaron Dallas did for his birthday back when the grandparents were in town! 🤣 3mo
JenlovesJT47 Lol I have read almost none of the earlier books, I am coming to realize. I know I read the Mandy Miller one where she‘s sick, then I started reading them in the 60s. I got earlier books here and there when I could, like the first 5 or so. So I‘m thoroughly enjoying this read through! 3mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I am having so much fun, too! I‘m coming up on some new to me books pretty soon, I think! I‘m looking forward to them!! 3mo

It‘s the fifth #SweetValleyValentinesDay and this one is the first from Steven‘s POV. Alice signed him up for ballroom dancing lessons. At first, Steven and his best friend, Bob, have fun playing pranks (stomping on toes, pulling hair, etc) but it takes only one conversation for Steven to fall in love with his dance partner, Tina. The twins play pranks on their brother and tease him to retaliate against the fake Valentines he wrote to each sister!

It‘s another #SweetValleyValentinesDay for the second grade class, and Ned‘s parents sent gifts from Hawaii— including a special orchid pin that inspires the first exclusive club of Sweet Valley. Because Liz‘s gets held up in the mail, only Jessica, Lila and Ellen are members of Orchid Club. In retaliation, Liz snubs them with creating the everyone-is-welcome Sunflower Club. And we finally catch a glimpse of none other than 1Bruce1 Patman here!

JenlovesJT47 It was like a celebrity sighting at the end of this book, seeing Bruce drive away in a limousine 😆😅 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I know!! What a cameo!! Also, it sure makes it seem like the Patmans are definitely wealthier than the Fowlers! 3w
JenlovesJT47 Yep for sure. The Patmans are old money. Dear neglectful Mr. Fowler is a self made man lol. Their rival in high school is fun. 3w

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Oooo— I know the SVU books are mostly new to you, so I really can‘t wait for you to read those!! There‘s some more Fowler/Patman drama there that‘s quite memorable!!😬 3w
JenlovesJT47 Yes I can‘t wait to get to those! Every time Jess and Liz interact with Bruce, whether it be middle school, high school, whatever, I always remember Bruce & Liz being together in The Sweet Life and him rocking her world if you know what I mean 😳😅. So funny! 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I thought I remembered those two getting together in high school for a quick minute?? But the university years, not so much! 3w
JenlovesJT47 They definitely date or whatever you‘d like to call it in SVH. In the one where Liz gets in a motorcycle accident then starts acting like Jessica for awhile 😆 they also get together in one of the miniseries, where they think Mr. Patman & Mrs. W are having an affair. I dunno about the college years but in the Sweet Life miniseries when they are 30, Liz and Bruce are hot and heavy. Sweet Valley Confidential was crap but I love the Sweet Life⬇️ 3w
JenlovesJT47 Miniseries, it was so ridiculous and fun and I wish they‘d write more 🤓😬 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I definitely remember the affair one— that was what I was thinking of and I also loved the Sweet Life— I felt like a kid waiting up on release days for it to be on my kindle at midnight! Though I think that only worked for the first two— after that, I had to wait for PST midnight! Still, I would also love more Sweet Valley! 3w
