Ah Clari, I just finished flowers in the attic (spoilers ahead) and ugh even though they escaped i feel soo sad... The betrayal of Corrine and poor Cory.... It makes me so mad!!! The grandfather had been dead for a year! And she kept them in the goddamned attic!! Do you think their mother was always this evil, because yeah she seems pretty selfish from the start but to poison your children for money and a comfortable life???? Also I cant explain how much I adored Cathy... i hope (in vain i think) she finds something close to happiness in the next books😪 Oh and in my head Christopher looks like keigo but without the scratchy beard thingy he has going on in the anime hahahah, like every time he is condescending towards Cathy I pictured his smug smirk. Also in his desperation to be loved and in control all the time. Cant imagine what the future holds for them, luckily more angst and drama!!
omg anon!!!!!!!
honestly i really enjoyed petals on the wind (the second book) but the third and fourth books aren’t nearly as entertaining imo. but that really comes down to personal preference hehe c:
i do think corrine was always evil (or, at least, very very corrupt), yes!!! i think she’s always been a very selfish, very greedy, and very jealous person. there’s hints of it even when christopher sr. is alive, just with the way she kind of eyes cathy and seems to envy the relationship she has with her own father, as if corrine wants all of christopher sr.’s attention for herself. and i think she heavily substitutes that with her own son (chris jr) after their father and her husband passes.
aaaaaaaah i love cathy too!!!!! i especially love her and her struggles in petals on the wind, so if you read it you absolutely have to come back and share your thoughts with me!!! there’s so much i have to say about cathy as a character but it spoils the other books so i’ll have to wait until u finish them to share it with u!!
EEEEE oh christopher <3 i can completely see where ur coming from anon omg yes!!!! chris is also an interesting character that i have a lot of thoughts on, but again most of it pertains to petals on the wind hehe
all in all i’m glad u enjoyed it anon!!! it’s such a fun, dramatic, quintessential trashy pulp fiction type book all wrapped up in a family gothic and gaaah i love that about it c: i hope you enjoy the other books as well!!! please feel free to come back and tell me what you think!! <3
#it really is such a tragic and twisted story#people who solely focus on the incest kind of completely miss the point lmao#because the incest is secondary to the actual plot and the actual story#which is of this grotesque mother#and how money and greed can further corrupt people#in addition to the religious themes as well as the themes of abuse#chris slicing open his arm to feed the twins his blood is so horrific when you truly think about it#like that he was forced to that length!!!!#but anyway!!! i can't wait for u to read petals on the wind omg#have an awesome monday anon <33#keep safe and stay hydrated ofc!!#inky.bb#clari gets mail
