Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is a series of over 230 numbered stand-alone teen (young adult) romance novels that were published from 1981 through to 1996 written mostly by U.S. writers. Notable authors include Barbara Conklin, Janet Quin-Harkin, Laurie Lykken, Marilyn Kaye (writing under the pseudonym Shannon Blair) and Yvonne Greene.

 

Each teen novel dealt with usual high school drama and romance; first dates, first love, conflicts, etc. It was through these books that another major teen book series was launched: Sweet Valley High.

 

Cover designs were real photographs using models that best depict how the heroine of the novel looks. Models have included Diane Lane (Thinking of You) and Courteney Cox (The Last Word).
