The prolonged SVH universe, which developed to have numerous names featuring derivative innovator and also sequel collection, ultimately offered greater than 200 million copies ( that's about 10x Colleen Hoover's total manual purchases, for range), inspired a 4-season television collection, as well as probably paved the way for a generation-defining wave of adolescent home entertainment like Beverly Hills 90210 and Dawson's Creek.
