found my first Sweet Valley High paperback at a five and dime when I was twelve right away I was enchanted the illustration of the sixteen year old blonde Californian cheerleader on the cover Jessica Wakefield with two successful parents who both cooked and teased her and called her down for pancakes each Sunday afternoon and guys lining up to kiss her and take her to the Beach Disco and an older brother who came home to do his laundry and ruffle her hair and an identical twin sister Elizabeth Wakefield four minutes older identical down to her dimple and AquaFresh smile but different Jessica loved to party and scheme and Elizabeth loved to write and date just one guy I didn't know who I wanted to be I would have loved being either one Jessica or Elizabeth Betty or Veronica Ginger or Mary Ann a paper doll who has it all knows exactly who she is down to the last detail. |
