Sweet Dreams (novel series)

Sweet Dreams was a popular series of young adult romance novels published by Bantam Books from 1981 to 1999. Targeted towards teenage girls, the series focused on the romantic relationships and social lives of high school students, generally featuring wholesome and optimistic storylines.

The books were known for their standardized format and easily digestible plots. Each novel typically centered around a different protagonist and romance, although recurring characters and settings, such as the fictional town of Sweet Valley (also the setting for the similar Sweet Valley High series), occasionally appeared. The books often dealt with common teenage issues such as dating, friendship, peer pressure, and school events like dances and sporting competitions.

The Sweet Dreams series was considered highly successful, selling millions of copies and becoming a staple of teen literature during the 1980s and 1990s. While the series has been out of print for many years, it retains a nostalgic appeal for many readers who grew up with the books.
