Flowers In The Attic by V.C. Andrews

2.0

---

Truly, just a depressing tale of a woman who loses her fucking mind after her husband dies, doesn’t go to therapy & attempt to be an actual adult, instead, then follows to lock her children in an attic for their entire lives and then try to kill them by starving them and then straight up murdering one of them. Actually, all of that makes the whole thing sound INTERESTING. It’s painfully slow and written so horribly/campy. Truly, so many people listed this on their “horror reads” lists, and this was considered a classic.

I understand it’s probably something hella nostalgic for a teenager growing up in the 80s, but really… ARE YALL OK?
