The extensive SVH cosmos, which grew to consist of dozens titles consisting of derivative innovator as well as sequel series, eventually sold more than 200 million duplicates ( that has to do with 10x Colleen Hoover's overall book purchases, for range), encouraged a 4-season TV set, and perhaps paved the way for a generation-defining surge of teen home entertainment like Beverly Hills 90210 and also Dawson's Creek.
