Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews

5.0

---

My sister is a huge V.C. Andrews fan, so we read this together. This book is deeply disturbing, but you can't seem to stop reading it, like a car crash where you can't look away. A lot of people mention the horrible incest and rape. I'd like to add that the ease in which the mother gradually abandons her children for money is unsettling, and the cruelty of the grandmother is shocking. Andrews also said this was based on a true story.
