What this book is about
V.C. Andrews's standalone gothic novel follows Audrina Adare — a girl with gaps in her memory, a dead older sister whose room she's forbidden to enter, and a family whose secrets are slowly becoming clear. As with all Andrews at her best, My Sweet Audrina is obsessive, atmospheric, and genuinely disturbing, with trauma at its center.
