"Squirmy Little Weasel” (Sweet Valley High #36, Last Chance)

The powerful feminist message of this week’s text caused Robert to weep. Our lead character, Johanna, has painfully low self esteem because sadly, in addition to being beautiful, she’s gifted only at math and science and not music like the rest of her family (don’t think about it too hard). Even worse, Johanna has a crush on Peter, a (hot) narcissist who doesn’t even understand that simplicity is elegance when it comes to software engineering and who ignores her completely. In the end, though, she overcomes these obstacles and proves to everyone that she can be anything she wants to be (a math and science student). Keep the tissues close for this one! Join us for a discussion of self-love, relationships, and Laura Ashley dresses in “Squirmy Little Weasel” (Sweet Valley High #36, Last Chance).
