I Love 'sweet Valley,' But I Love It From A Different Angle. There Are People For Whom It Is Their Adolescence. They Own It, In A Way That Even I Don't. I've Come To Respect The Project More Because Of The Response Than I've Had. It's More Important Than I Realized It Was. I Didn't Understand The Breadth And Depth Of It. Now I'm Beginning To More.

It's So Trendy, Almost Bleeding To Death. All The Cool Girls Are Doing It.
