Review of 'Petals on the Wind (Dollanganger, #2)' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

No where near as enjoyable as the first. Maybe it was 30 years ago but today, it was painful to finish. Filled with sexism, what equates to rape but packaged as just what a man does when a woman "leads him on."

I disliked Cathy strongly throughout the entire thing. I think I've had my fill of the series. Not unhappy about rereading the first two books though. I've thought about the series - at least the first book - many times over the years and I'm glad I took the plunge and revisited Cathy, Christopher, Carrie, and Cory.
