RIP. She lived a long life and had a great career. I think I read some of her mystery SVH books.

RIP to a woman who provided me hours of reading as a youth!

My mom shopped at a lot of yard sales/flea markets when we were kids, and that's where I found most of the Sweet Valley Twins/High/University books I read over the years. I was always more of an Elizabeth, but I wanted to be a Jessica. Living in PA, their lives in CA sounded so goddamn cool!! And she was right, CA is cool as hell.
