The Wakefield twins are back once again in a new mini-series. The twins are now 30, but they’re still
finding themselves in sticky situations.
Jessica and Todd have a son, but Todd’s desire for Jessica to be a 1950s
style housewife has caused them to split up.
Things have been going pretty well for Elizabeth and Bruce, but in the
first installment of The Sweet Life, an intern for the Patman Foundation
accuses Bruce of sexual assault. In the
meantime, Lila is trying to get on True Housewives of Sweet Valley, which
causes her relationship problems when she badmouths Ken during a taping.
Thankfully Jessica’s characterization has improved since she
was butchered in Sweet Valley Confidential.
She seems much more true to self as she schemes and acts
impulsively. Elizabeth is also spot-on. She believes she can single-handedly clear
Bruce’s name and also doles out plenty of relationship advice to Jessica. Not being an Elizabeth fan, I did get a
little snicker when Bruce’s accuser told Elizabeth (who she believes is a
counselor) that Bruce said sex with Elizabeth was boring. The writing and plotting isn’t going to win
any awards, but this is Sweet Valley after all.
It’s mostly amusing to read about the immature antics of people I
basically grew up with. These are adults
who never really left their hometown and are now stuck in an endless cycle of
drama.
3/5
