I was obsessed with Sweet Valley High as a pre teen and was curious to see if it stood up the test of time. It gets two stars from me simply for the fact this series got me into reading. However, I do feel that it is a potentially damaging series to have such young people reading. There’s no diversity at all which adding that to complete focus on beauty equating to worthiness/success/love etc. I can honestly say I am completely disheartened.
