The Plot: And what the hell did I just read? Andrews (®) requestors with her second-most infamous book…
So initially I thought I’d appease the V.C. It’s like you’re obsessed with my brother or something, Carly! At time I remember thinking that it was like playing pretend with your friends, where you have this nice gothic fantasy going about having to escape from your evil grandmother’s attic and you have this one inappropriate friend who keeps bringing weird sex stuff into it.
I read it for the first time as an adult and was shocked that any 13-year-old got through enough of it to even giggle about the dirty parts. The third book is Flowers in the Attic, which (aside from being well known and widely-read) is a real literary mess. The second is Go Ask Alice, which I definitely feel like is too well-remembered and widely-read as a comprise I did review Anonymous/Beatrice Sparks’s Jay’s Journal, which in my humble opinion is much wilder and weirder than Alice and remains one of my favorite “discoveries” for this project. Kerr’s Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!, which I will probably get to at some point, even though I feel like it’s just on the cusp of being too familiar to qualify as a “Lost Classic”. Since this blog’s beginnings, there are three books that most frequently come in as readers’ requests. Now she will come face to face with the dangerous, terrifying secret everyone knows.
