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

I thought you’d appreciate it because one of the sets of siblings are named Chris and Cathy.

Oh for the love of Ray J.
Chris was always sad that he couldn’t dance like Cathy. Thank god he never heard of this.

I’m actually not sure, it’s a WordPress design. Sorry!

thank you for posting personal summaries of the V.C. Andrews books! I’ve read almost all of the early ones (Except I never made it through Dawn… I have no idea why) your posts make me laugh, and agree, Cathy can be extremely annoying, Daphne can be a bitch, and Gisselle is one of the best characters EVER

Hi Megan,
I recently self-published a book that is nothing if not an homage to Flowers in the Attic. I would love it if you could check it out and maybe get the word out to other V.C. lovers that it exists. Click here if you’re interested and thanks so much for your awesome and funny website.
THIS IS NOT SPAM, I SWEAR ON MY MOM.

So, as you can tell, I am a terrible person who has just really started to catch up on things what with the wedding and work and blah blah, but I wanted to let you know that I’m reading the book this weekend and I’m really looking forward to it!
