You met them in high school and now Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield are living THE SWEET LIFE – 30 years old and still gorgeous, blonde and enviable. But all is not so perfect in Sweet Valley these days and Elizabeth and Jessica are dealing with complicated family issues, heartbreak and career lows. THE SWEET LIFE (St. Martin’s Press; $1.99 per story episode) is a six episode E-only serial with stories released every two weeks this summer. Starting July 15th, Francine Pascal takes Elizabeth and Jessica through a new chapter in their well-chronicled and beloved lives.
"The Sweet Life" begins three years after the events of "Sweet Valley Confidential;" Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are back in Sweet Valley and inseparable once more. Things are looking up for both twins: Elizabeth is a star reporter at the LA Tribune with a popular blog, and Jessica’s PR career is on the fast-track. But while the professional lives of the Wakefield sisters are secure, their personal lives may be in jeopardy. Jessica, now a mother, finds that managing parenthood, marriage, and a job is harder than she expected, while Elizabeth and Bruce must face a scandal that could strengthen their bond...or tear them apart forever.
Meanwhile, life goes on in Sweet Valley. Families are made, hearts are broken, and…Lila Fowler is a reality TV star? Some things never change.
From Francine Pascal, creator of "Sweet Valley High" and author of the New York Times bestselling "Sweet Valley Confidential," comes the groundbreaking, six-part e-serial, "The Sweet Life," continuing the adventures of beautiful blonde twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield and the gang from Sweet Valley.
You can find out more about the new series on the official website, as well as Facebook and Twitter. Also, check out our interview with Francine Pascal, review of "Sweet Valley Confidential," and a reflection upon the stories we grew up with.

"Call Me Maybe" is something Jessica Wakefield would say right? Would be a great title to a SV book about Jessica's summer fling.
Last Friday Night - Katy Perry :)))

Since my other guess was taken already, I'll say Adele's "Rumour Has It".

How about Lady Antebellum's 'Need you now'? That seems to be appropriate for all of the Wakefield children!

I grew up reading this series over and over. I remember reading the latest Sweet Valley Confidental and that was a surprise!
A great song for an SV title could be Good Life bt One Republic.

My first thought was immediately "Call Me Maybe" Hahaha!

"Back in Time" in Pitbull may not describe the lovely Wakefield's, but it certainly describes how I feel when I hear about them! "SVH" and "The Baby-Sitter's Club" were my first real reading obsessions. :) (Great, now I feel like watching "Saved by the Bell" too! LOL)
Fireworks by Katy Perry

Love The Way You Lie by Eminem & Rhianna. Fitting, no, with all the lies that have been told?
Absolutely loved this series growing up...had the entire collection that I reread multiple times! I also really enjoyed Sweet Valley Confidential. Fond memories!!

Since Elizabeth and Jessica are identical twins, I think that "What's My Name?" by Rihanna would be a fun book title!

"Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado. =P For both the twins. 'Cause, let's be honest, Elizabeth was just as much a cheating cheater as Jessica was.

Thanks for the giveaway!
Where have you been? by rhianna I think that would work
If it's anything like the old series...Love the Way Lie with by Eminem and Rihanna!
