It's a V.C. Andrews franchise piece. There's not much else I can say. It's part 4 of a 5-book series of sorts. The first four (also available in an omnibus edition) introduce the brilliantly talented girls who are going to be meeting each other in book 5. It is what it is. It didn't suck, but reading the first 4 didn't make me ready to run right out and get the 5th either. I mean, sweet girls, but I'm not exactly invested. These books are short, so they are good for those "I can't decide what to read" days.
