The 'betrayal' was pretty self-explanatory and like the dialogue, not really that believable in terms of how it apparently and allegedly progressed. As for the story itself, I literally felt sick. What made it weirder was the sprinkling in of several vocabulary words that would be out of place anywhere but on the SATs. The writing was horrible the dialogue was awkward, sophomoric and unbelievable and if the word LIKE showed up one time I thought I would throw the book literally out the window. I was craving a major dose of nostalgia when I picked this book up off the sale table at Big Lots, lol.What I got instead was the worst thing I think I've read in recent memory. I was a huge fan of the Sweet Valley Twins series (set in middle school) and also read a handful of Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley University books as well. I am honestly embarrassed to say that I read this book.

Though some of the characters really didn’t seem to have grown up much, I still found it somewhat entertaining, and it was a fast read. I didn’t like some of the outcomes of the characters I read so much of when I was younger, but I didn’t think the story was really so terrible (again, in comparison to other chick lit). This book, I thought was not far off from a lot of chick lit – very soap opera-like.

The story jumps between Elizabeth and Jessica and back and forth in time. I still remembered the majority of the characters. It’s been 30+ years since I read about these characters (and even then, I only read some of the original series, Sweet Valley High – I was a bit older and had lost interest by the time the Sweet Valley Twins came out when they were younger and I’m not even sure when Sweet Valley University came out!), and I enjoyed reading about them again and seeing what had happened (even if there was a lot of crap that had happened). I know the book has had a lot of negative reviews, but I’m still rating it “ok”.

Elizabeth is now living in New York and working as a writer for a small newspaper, whereas Jess is still in Sweet Valley. Something has happened so that Elizabeth is furious with Jessica, and she will not speak to her sister. Beautiful blonde twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield are now 27 years old.
