White Oleander by Janet Fitch

3.0

I didn’t realize that this was an abridged version but I’m almost glad it is. Not that this was a bad book but it was a little disappointing. By the end of the book there wasn’t much character growth of Astrid. In fact it almost seemed like she spiraled down. She became more cynical and jaded. That could also be because of the environments she ended growing up in. Oprah did a good job narrating. Not sure if I’ll go back and read the actual book but there’s a possibility.
