The Wildflower Quartet

"The Wildflower Quartet, V.C. Andrews, 1999.

I haven't read a V.C. Andrews book in a really long time, so this week I decided to pick one up and give it a shot. I remember the mystery and suspense in the stories, and always wanting to read more, and from what I have read so far, the feeling is still the same!
The story begins being told by a girl named Misty. Her parents are divorcing, and she is stuck in the middle. She has been seeing a therapist, and is being put in a group setting where 4 girls meet and discuss their lives- kind of like having someone to relate to.
Misty is the first one to tell her story, and tells of how her parents lived, how they treated her, differences that she has noticed in herself and her home, and how these things made her feel. She draws a lot of emotion out of the girls she is telling her story to, whether it be sadness, or anger, even some laughter. Misty notices the subtle changes in people demeanors, and describes them in detail.
The last chapter I completed, Misty had been dating a boy from her school, a boy who said his parents were divorced too. He was proper, said all the right things, and was very rich. But when she finally gave in to his "needs", he turned on her. She was not experienced enough, and he made sure she knew it. She found out the following day that his parents were not even divorced, and he had been lying to her about it all. I am really looking forward to reading more of Misty's story, and even into the other girls stories as well!
