Did you see this? It was linked in the comments to the NYT piece.

I certainly agree with her contention that it's pretty damn sad when the fans of the series know the characters better than the series creator herself, who apparently misplaced the Sweet Valley bible she had so lovingly cared for twenty years ago.

My problem is that these are still characters pretending to be adults.

YES. THIS.

I can honestly say if there are any more books in this series, I will not be buying them. One dose of childhood-breaking WTFery is one dose too many for me, thanks.
