All of which this book handles very, very badly. This one is a doozy for CONTENT WARNINGS: child abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, misogyny, ableism, and spousal abuse. Welcome to VC Andrews Land, where the protagonists are not like other girls, the sentences are purple, and all of the men are rapists. She’s definitely a real, different person, which is why Audrina’s dad is constantly pushing her to recover her sister’s memories. Seriously, mind the content warnings on this one.Īudrina lives in the shadow of her dead older sister, who was not only perfect in every way but had the exact same name. The sequel to My Sweet Audrina is as intriguing and as much an emotional roller coaster.The author behind Flowers in the Attic wrote about more Southern Gothic-flavored things while handling a bunch of sensitive issues poorly. Now that she has discovered the truth, will she ever be able to lead any semblance of a normal life? Alone with her dim-witted sister and cruel husband, she begins to take on the past and weave her way back from the empty grave to the possibility of a full life without the curse of dark memories her own father carefully wove around her.

And in Whitefern, the unforgettable sequel, Audrina is left in the labyrinthine manor called Whitefern after the patriarch's death. I can see the appeal - gothic suspense with just enough titillation to keep a teenage girl interested. In the end, it will help lead her to the terrifying secret that everyone knows. Andrews book Ive read and it came highly recommended. Something magical happens to her when she rocks in it, but that journey is not without its terrifying turns. Upstairs in the locked room are her sister's clothes and dolls, her animals and games, and her sacred rocking chair-which holds the secret of all her sister's gifts. In his eyes, her sister was so special, so perfect-he never stops mourning her passing and is constantly comparing Audrina to the memory of the daughter he had. She believes her father could not love her as he loved her sister.

In My Sweet Audrina, Audrina Adare only desires to be as good as her sister.

Andrews's most haunting and enthralling novels with this gorgeous volume containing both My Sweet Audrina and Whitefern as they follow Audrina struggling with her family's dark secrets.
