She is a total s*it (and the s*it.) A habitual liar. I cannot stress enough how much I love Vera. She’s sequestered from the outside world (the rationale being that being a human being got the first Audrina murdered, so why not treat the next Audrina like a doll?!) so her only human interaction comes in the form of her parents, Aunt, and Vera. Hours pass like days, and months go by quickly for her. In order to protect Audrina, the passage of time is kept from her. Vera is my favorite VC Andrews character, ever.) Audrina’s mother is a little weird, too, and when she’s not cooking gourmet foods for her husband, she’s having those trippy tea parties with her sister, who also lives with the Adares (as well as her snotty daughter, Vera. He believes that if she does this, she can absorb “first and best” Audrina’s memories.

Did I mention that both Audrinas share a birthday? What are the odds of that?! Anyway, Audrina is the apple of her weird father’s eye, and he manifests his love by having Audrina sit in a rocking chair in Audrina #1’s bedroom all day because that’s what fathers do. So, what is it about? Well, I’m so glad you asked because I want to dive into this, in detail, and I promise you, I have not made any of this up.Īudrina Adare is your typical 7-year-old, if your typical 7-year-old was named after her dead older sister, who went into the woods one day and never returned because she was raped and murdered. Not to mention multiple homicides that take place by pushing people down the same set of stairs.įriends, I f*cking love this bonkers, bananas, beautiful mess of a book. A recurring, warped tea party where two sisters put on their Sunday best, drink, trade insults, and pretend to be a dead aunt, communicating beyond the grave via a photograph. A villain with an evil heart and brittle bones. Sure, we dove into the incest, arsenic-laced world of Flowers in the Attic previously, but in my mind, nothing is as bonkers, over the top, “did she really just write that?!” than Andrews’ smutty, trashy, wonderful classic My Sweet Audrina. We’re rounding out our month of books we read as kids (but probably shouldn’t have) with the granddaddy of them all: My Sweet Audrina.
