“To love anything once extremely well made you vulnerable to
another loving attack.”
Truth. But not so much
here.
2.14 Flowers in The Attic
I saw a lot of people rereading this book in preparation for
a new movie adaptation coming out on the Lifetime channel. The movie promised to “go there” and so
I saw a lot of readers my age going back to read something we had read as teens
to see exactly where they were going to go. I remembered reading this book and the rest in the series,
but I mostly remember liking the Heaven series more. So I decided to dive in and see how the
book compared to the very vague memories – Just an FYI; making the movie for Lifetime
should have been all I really needed to know. Turns out I do remember some parts of the book vividly,
mostly the talk of living so lavishly; and the romantic parts I remember turn
out to be from the original film adaptation and not the actual book. But what I really didn’t remember, but
very much assumed, was how bad it all was.
