Sweet Valley Twins #12 Keeping Secrets

Nov 27, 2007 09:48

The actual "secret" between Ned and the Wakefield's and the conflict that results from it are really lame... which I guess is a good thing, because a dad going to these extreme lengths to keep something quiet with his pre-teen daughters... even leaving out his son in the process... is really kind of creepy.

But before the Wakefield twins know just ( Read more... )

Why is Ned so weird? Why suddenly announcing that the the twins? I didn't get it. I do know that I thought Jessica looked absolutely gorgeous on the cover and was jealous of the way her hair fell naturally.

Um. What?

I never read this one, but it comes across as INCREDIBLY weird here. I also want to smack Ned.

Isn't Jim Sturbridge Belinda's boyfriend in one of the later SVTs? I remember him being nice and not an asshole? In the one where she becomes more ladylike and wears lip gloss and finds it all distracting? That was like my favorite SVT evah, I can't remember the title but I think it was something like Odd Girl Out or something. Anyway, I thought Jim sounded totally cute and I wanted my best guy friend to fall in love with me. This was back in the day when I think Belinda may have been called Billie?

Yeah they get it on I think. Not literally :-)!

It was called "Standing Out" - #25. Wasn't she afraid that her chest would get in the way of her pitching? Aww.

Yes! And she curls her hair and gets a new dress (shops with the twins of course) at the mall for her big birthday bash or something.

(Ned would probably disown them, or speak to them only in English as punishment).
Lithigol!

Amy and Lila are suddenly friends
Oh my god! I so want to read this book now.

I can't believe the kids are so jealous and stupid about ithing. As if you'd even remember that people were speaking a little made up language. I know they're only in middle school, but it's pretty lame.
And Ned's insistence on secrecy is rather strange.

It does make you wonder what other secrets Neddyboy wants to share with his daughters.....

dirtywingsgirl November 29 2007, 23:08:41 UTC

Like he's actually half-Jewish (as revealed in the Wakefield Legacy, right?)

zippyladoodles November 30 2007, 09:03:20 UTC

Ah they probably already know that and he has to sleep in a closet as punishment.

Funny recap, I almost LOL'd several times (at work!).

That Ithig language also pops up in, of all places, the movie Slums of Beverly Hills, where I remember that Natasha Lyonne and Marisa Tomei start randomly speaking it in some bathroom. For they record, in the movie they pronounced it as "Ittig", with a silent 'h'.
