Who among you became lifelong readers from the Sweet Valley books? As an elder millennial, this was my Harry Potter, along with Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. I have not reread any since I was a young adult, but in the age of social media and conscious efforts toward diversity and inclusivity, I don't think these books would have aged well. Regardless, the books were a fun escape, and solidified so many teen tropes upon which shows like 90210, The OC, and Gossip Girl are based on.
