When I was ten years old, my older cousin regifted me all of her V.C. Andrews novels. This was by no means an appropriate gift for a ten year old. I spent the next several years convinced that a story needed only evil grandparents, snotty rich girls named things like Clara Sue and Gisselle, and some star-crossed incest to make it a masterpiece. I’ve since looked back upon these classics and realized that if ever anything needed to be recapped on the internet, this was it. So let’s all look back at the books that taught us that old women are evil, mothers are insane, brothers can be so much more, and everyone in Louisiana talks like Gambit.
Hey do her first book Flowers in the Attic and something from the newer books like “Broken Wings” that was the only one where the girls weren’t all perfect and sweet
