"But how can you read this? It's the literary equivalent of garbage!"
Because VC Andrews is the queen of mixing intergenerational familial trauma and creating messed up families in general with a side of Southern Gothic horror, and seeing the 1980s movie for the first time in eons made me realize that I never read the book. Big fun to hit parts the movie cut.
