A lot of the truly “Gothic” aspects of the film were skipped unfortunately, but at least Lifetime made the effort to translate this book into film, something that should have been done a long, long time ago. It’s great to finally be able to put a face to Arden. However, I did enjoy the movie, and I loved William Moseley as Arden! I don’t think they could have picked a better actor to portray Arden, and the way he says ‘My Sweet Audrina’ is just awesome. There was so much more to Audrina’s story that could have been shown.

By leaving these parts out, I almost feel like they did the story a disservice. Andrews certainly had in enough in the book to do so. There were some parts that were definitely different, and I hate when this happens! My Sweet Audrina could have definitely been made into a two-part series. Would they stay true to the book, or would they change the plot somewhat, as they did with the second, third, and fourth books in the Dollanganger’ series? When I started watching My Sweet Audrina, I had to wonder just how horrifying they would make it. The books released now are written by a ghostwriter. Andrews passed away about thirty years ago, it hasn’t seemed to slow down the releases. It is considered to be her only standalone, but this will all change when Whitefern releases on July 26, 2016. My Sweet Audrina is one of the books I have read by V.C. Andrews, I’ve been a Gothic fiction fan for life. Eventually, other books caught my eyes, and I moved away from reading her titles, so I haven’t read all of them. She’s got a lot of them and though the characters seem to change the plots are very similar. I finished the book that night, and the following afternoon I was right back at the library to get the rest of them.įor a while, I completely devoured books by V.C. I was horrified, intrigued, and mesmerized–all at one time. I can’t remember which book it was, but I know it was in the Dollanganger’ series.

Andrews’ books after Seeds of Yesterday, so it was pretty thrilling to flip through the tv guide just to discover My Sweet Audrina was about to debut! Remember the original cover? It still gives me chills to look at it!īut before I go into my thoughts about this book and movie, I want to take you back to the time I first discovered V.C. However, I thought they were done with the V.C.

I knew that they turned the first four books of the Dollanganger’ books into movies… I anticipated and watched all of them. I actually didn’t know they were making this movie. Andrews, and it has taken this long (and re-watching the movie about five times) for me to gather my thoughts enough to write a post about it! Not because it was bad. It has now been a little over a week since Lifetime aired My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Disclosure: This post contains compensated affiliate links and/or sponsored content.
