Secrets (Sweet Valley High #2)

As has become an unofficial summertime tradition, SSR returns to Sweet Valley to kick off a new year of the podcast! On Episode 150, Alli and her guest discuss the second book in Francine Pascal’s iconic series, Secrets. They chat about their own high school memories, the social hierarchy of Sweet Valley, jealous boyfriends, the dangers of gossip, and why these books have been so popular with readers of different ages.

Lacie Waldon is a writer with her head in the clouds — literally! A flight attended based in Washington, D.C., Lacie spends her days writing from the jump seat and watching the world for new stories. The Layover is her debut novel. Follow her on Instagram (@allaboutthat_lace) and Twitter (@LacieWaldon).
