Being confined to bed for recovery there is not much to do except read. Especially when typing is painful and slow, DVD’s have run their course and it’s too hot to be outside. I have done more reading and sleeping in the last week then I have in some time. Still, I am glad I am able now to enjoy guiltless reading for pleasure. I am not going to admit how long it is taking me just to write this short blog/review. Only having use of one arm/hand is extremely frustrating as I am now not able to do for myself all the things I had taken for granted last week. And if all of this doesn’t make sense, please excuse me, I am heavily medicated.
At least I got my stitches out this morning, but at the same time my Doc tightened up the brace on my shoulder and now I’m in worse pain than I’ve been in days. Unfortunately, I have to wear this brace for another three weeks and therefore, cannot use my left arm/hand at all. Shoulder surgery is difficult and painful and recovery seems to be very slow. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I hate feeling so helpless!
My Sweet Audrina is not for the faint of heart. It is an odd and strange portrayal of what can go wrong will go wrong within the family structure. It is about greed, possession, lust, jealousy, sibling rivalry of the worst sort, secrets, lies and betrayals. Like all V.C. Andrews books it is dark and sinister and only gets more twisted as the story unfolds. However, I must admit it is a page turner and I couldn’t put it down. Although more than once throughout the book I found myself disgusted by the father, Damian and wanted to smack Audrina’s half sister, Vera.
