The only Virginia Andrews book that didn't spawn a bloated series of sequels. I read this one when I was nine, shortly after her first book - Flowers In The Attic. I'm not sure why she never wrote a followup to this - it's not like the themes were any different to those in any of her other books - incest, secrets, false identity, tragic accidents and dead babies. I think My Sweet Audrina is the best of Andrews' vast (although of course these days none of it is written by her. I believe the first*4.5 star rating* Wow. Just wow. This was the most psychologically messed up, mind-fucking book that I've ever read. We all know that V.C. Andrews has quite a habit of messing with our minds, but this book has taken her "talent" to a whole other level. My brain: When finishing this 400+ paged book, I just couldn't believe my eyes on how the heck did Andrews do this. Her mysteries are always so out of the blue and we never end up expecting the plot twists (especially in the end). It's so
By the time Audrina sexed her husband on the grave of her dead sister after beating him for two whole pages, a tear in my eye began to form as I realized just how brilliant V.C. Andrews was.Mind control, dead babies, three deaths from falls on the same friggin' staircase, suicide, a retarded girl obsessed with prisms, gang rape, some seriously disturbing & pseudo-incestuous father/daughter loving, a former ice skater with no legs who happens to be a dead ringer for Liz Taylor, insider
This was so much better than I remembered. Spooky, strange and problematic. A perfect pick for the first read in my book club! My full review with spoilers will be up on my booktube channel http://Youtube.com/peterlikesbooks
An extra star for nostalgic reasons.

This is an absolute mess. I wish I could say that with any ounce of surprise, but I knew exactly what I was getting myself into.I have this weird sort of respect for V.C. Andrews. Not many authors could unabashedly churn out such unadulterated trash and get away with it, much less build it into a 35+ year empire. She knows how to weave a twisted enough story and knows exactly what she's doing with every disturbing, nasty plot development that has you shouting "what the fuck" into your fifth
