I received a copy through Goodreads via Simon and Schuster.
Emma Corey has just graduated from high school at the age of 18 and has decided to leave her home of Guildford for the bright lights of New York, much to her family’s displeasure, most especially her father. She wanted to pursue a career as a singer and was ready to do what it took. She arrived in New York not knowing what to expect and was captivated by the bright lights and all the attractions, until she started experiencing the “real” world. She met some shady people along her journey, but she also made some new friends as well. Just as Emma was about to give up entirely on her dream, after having gone to numerous auditions and going through a couple of roommates, her luck changed. She received an offer that she just could not refuse.
Not a bad read, but definitely not a “typical” V.C. Andrews book, at least not from what I remember when I read “Flowers in the Attic” way back. I can just imagine what it would be like for an eighteen-year-old just out of high school traveling to a place she knew nothing about, let alone not knowing anyone, as well as being outcast by her father.
