Sweet Valley Hive

Sweet Valley Hive is the hottest new book club to hit the school! Join us (Robert Marx, newbie and Rebecca Pardo, superfan) as we neurotically parse the text, subtext, and outfits of Sweet Valley High, the beloved soapy series of the 80s. From school dances to amnesia to hysterical paralysis, we’ll cover the trials and tribulations of America’s most troubled and triumphant twins.

    “Horny for Spirit” (Sweet Valley High Super Thriller #4, Deadly Summer)

    In our fourth Super Thriller, we have pranks gone too far. In order to embarrass Liz, Jess and Lila contrive an apparently harmless Ouija Board scheme that turns out to have a *deadly* twist. Will the Ouija board’s predictions lead to an “explosive” climax? Meanwhile, a psychopath is terrorizing Sweet Valley with hoax bomb threats! After a series of empty threats, is something bound to go “boom”? Join us as we discuss incel propaganda, the epistemology of Ouija boards, and too much chicken in “Horny for Spirit” (Sweet Valley High Super Thriller #4, Deadly Summer).

    “Denial Bangle Arguing” (Sweet Valley High #56, Lost at Sea)

    This week, Jess is stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific. In an eerie parallel, Pardo struggles to assemble an over-the-toilet storage unit for her bathroom. Will these young, beautiful, resourceful women succeed in creating comfortable domiciles by using the primitive tools available to them in these extraordinary circumstances? Along the way, we manage to weave together Annie Lennox, 90s computer games, and why Brandeis would have been called Bussy-deis if not for a crucial intervention at Ellis Island. It all comes together in “Denial Bangle Arguing” (Sweet Valley High #56, Lost at Sea).

    “Which Ear is the Gay Ear?” (Sweet Valley High #55, Perfect Shot).

    We are in the basketball mood this week! Join us as we follow Sweet Valley High’s performance in the playoffs and ponder the important question: are girls allowed to be tall? Along the way, we discuss theories of style, meet “our first named hag” (Pardo, 2024), and Robert (hereafter known as Flyboy) shares a traumatizing story of having their photo in the news as a youth, in “Which Ear is the Gay Ear?” (Sweet Valley High #55, Perfect Shot).

    “Again with this, with the rope and the trunk” (Sweet Valley High #54, Two Boy Weekend)

    This week, we have a devious bait and switch:  what appears to be a fun and frothy story of dating two boys in one weekend turns out to be a cautionary tale that ends (as they often do) with Liz tied up in a trunk.   Meanwhile, Robert has a slow meltdown when they realize their grand Inception-style theory of the plot has been dismantled by a small detail regarding a seal (sea lion?) stuffed animal. Join us for “Again with this, with the rope and the trunk” (Sweet Valley High #54, Two Boy Weekend).

    “Barista under Duress” (Sweet Valley High #53, Second Chance)

    This week, Pardo goes on an epic quest to make coffee. Meanwhile in Sweet Valley, Kristen the tennis prodigy goes on quite the journey herself, figuring out whether she could might ever leave the tennis club dining room. Join us for a conversation about choices, second chances, and what happens when your tennis coach becomes your new mom (sorry!) in “Barista under Duress” (Sweet Valley High #53, Second Chance).

    “UncleGate Part 2: This Time It’s Personal” (Sweet Valley High #52, White Lies)

    This week, Robert’s GI system tackles an overabundance of acid, and our text tackles an age old question: Should girlfriends let their boyfriends spend time with their uncles? Plus, the most erotic pinball passage in the history of literature (and we would know; we read a lot of pinball fanfic). Join us for “UncleGate Part 2: This Time It’s Personal” (Sweet Valley High #52, White Lies).

    “Yeah, I Know What a Point Spread Is” (Sweet Valley High #51, Against the Odds)

    This week, we’re plunged into the seedy underbelly of the world of sports betting as Ronnie Edwards (Small Fry) tries to figure out how to pay off his debts to Big Al. More importantly, she’s making jewelry now! Jessica launches an exciting entrepreneurial adventure, and nothing can stand in her way of accessory domination! Come for the catchy jingle, stay (please?) for Robert’s eight minute monologue on PF Chang’s and Good Girls in “Yeah, I Know What a Point Spread Is” (Sweet Valley High #51, Against the Odds).

    “We don’t kill ghosts. It’s not appropriate” (Sweet Valley High Super Thriller #3, No Place to Hide)

    This week, in honor of Halloween, we have an especially spooky text full of fake ghosts, threatened imprisonment, and terrifying late night calls to the morgue! As Nicholas Morrow falls for beautiful, young Barbara, he begins to worry that things aren’t adding up: she can’t leave the grounds of Bayview House, no one can know that they’re together, and she dresses like someone out of another time. Is she real, or just a hot ghost? Meanwhile, Liz and Jess are investigating a sketchy mayoral candidate and a confusing artist colony, and as their stories seem to overlap, we begin to worry that hot young Barbara may be embroiled in a plot that makes absolutely no sense, but could threaten her (and her little dog, too). Join us for a spooky and spectacularly hard to follow episode in “We don’t kill ghosts. It’s not appropriate” (Sweet Valley High Super Thriller #3, No Place to Hide).
