Sweet Valley University #9: Sorority Scandal

I picked this one for the title. I mean, how can it not be awesome when it’s about a scandal at a sorority!? Also, the back mentions Lila. Lila and Bruce. That’s right, we find out how their relationship kinda sorta begins in this book. Like any good love story, there’s a plane crash involved!

the story line with jessica is an exact story line with Steve Sanders in 90210. Brandon has to bail out steve.

Thats because SVU was totally trying to be real!90210. In fact, I'd bet that the same ghostie who wrote SVU also wrote for real!90210

Food for thought for anyone who's familiar with 90210:

Jessica stealing the professor's book on a sorority dare = Steve stealing the professor's baseball on a fraternity dare.
William the wheelchair-bound cult leader = Professor Finley the wheelchair-bound cult leader
Billie and Steven pretending they don't live together so as not to upset Billie's parents = Donna and David pretending they don't live together so as not to upset Felice Martin

And that's just this book.

See my above comment, lol.

It seems in the Sweet Valley universe, a sorority is just a polite term for whorehouse.

I'm uber late to the Sweet Valley nostalgila party, but I finally had to comment. Why do all of the black charcaters issues have to be about race/racism? It's ridiculous like does the ghostwriter think black people do not have lives outside of valuable teaching moments for the white readers or whatever reasons they keep making the storylines involving the black characters about race?

It's also strange how the writers seem incapable of writing a interracial relationship involving a black woman. Seriously since SVH we haven't had a legitimate one, despite almost every other kind of interracial relationship being featured...Odd.

Other than that I'm enjoying the snarkfest and the trip down memory lane. I had no idea so much scandalous shit happened between high school and college, I skipped the twins senior year so I probably missed even more scandals and Toddpunches.

Oh well off to read more SVU.

I think they move away from racism later on in the series. Senior Year and Junior High series are a bit more normal.
