Reviews

Marissa and her Selection of cohosts are always entertaining and make me laugh very hard. The nostalgia factor is there for me as I was a teenager in the 80s, and love these books more than life. While we all know the books are insane, they are reviewed in a loving way.

I read SVH back in the early 90s, and it’s so great to revisit those memories! Thanks, Marissa! Subscribe, you won’t be disappointed!!

When I was younger somewhere in the 3rd or 4th grade...the first books I’ve ever read was sweet valley twins and then I started to read sweet valley high.. and now in my 30’s and I’ve found this podcast and after I’ve listen to a few I find myself waiting impatiently for more 🤩🤩

I'm loving this more than I can say! So nostalgic, but relevant. It's snarky, but respectful. I'm loving the B story highlights, and the beautiful boy portion. Oh and I'd definitely say I'm an Elizabeth, but have grown into the self esteem of a Jessica.

I stumbled across this podcast over the summer, binge listened to the entire first season, and not so patiently waited for new episodes to premiere. As someone who missed the craze surrounding these books due to being a 90s baby, this was the perfect introduction to the series, and it left me wanting to know more. I'm getting ready to do some binge reading so I can catch up to the podcast and then read along with Marissa Flaxbart and her various guests as they dive into the beautiful insanity that is Sweet Valley High. I honestly can't recommend this podcast enough. Flaxbart makes the perfect host because while she's not afraid to shy away from talking about the problematic bits of this series, her humor and her critiques are the perfect fit, and they help to show why these books are so enthralling. Whether you've been a fan of the series for years or are a new reader like me, anyone who loves the cheesy goodness of a crazy teen drama will love this podcast.

Decent podcast, worth a listen. Both fun and nostalgic of the books I read as a kid in the 80s and 90s.

Marissa is one of the best podcast hosts I have ever listened to. She’s very cool and she doesn’t hesitate to be funny or cutting as required.
