Who Knew?
Laurie John · 2000
70/100
👍 Worth It
Book #57 in the Sweet Valley University run — and yes, 'Laurie John' is a house pseudonym; these were ghostwritten to Francine Pascal's formula, which tells you exactly what you're buying. Elizabeth Wakefield wakes up somewhere she shouldn't, lies about it, and the misunderstanding machine does the rest — including a love-triangle twist involving her gay housemate that was genuinely ahead of its 2000 paperback peers. Goodreads readers land it at 3.58 across 110 ratings: comfort-food series fiction, competently made. Worth it if you're already in the Sweet Valley pipeline; start at book one if you're not.
