We open with a sort of “Previously, on The Dollangangers” montage that reminds of the basics: terrible mom, terrible grandma, kids in attic, siblings make out, and then we take up our story ten years later at Paul’s funeral. Usual warnings apply: There are some, but not a ton, of spoilers for the end of Petals on the Wind (the book) and for the series as a whole there are SO MANY screencaps because there were so many to be had. Whole chunks of story have been eliminated (bye bye Creepy Paul!) and new ones have been written in (I guess we needed a redhead?) we jump ten years ahead and then cram everything else into one year and the series’ two big mysteries are blown wide open, but all in all, it’s a good damn time. Petals on the Wind! I had pretty high expectations for this one, Petals is probably my second-favorite Andrews book (after My Sweet Audrina, of course) and while I wish some things had stuck closer to the source material, for a two-hour distillation of a 400+ page book, it does a pretty good job. Well, this time I get to write about angry handjobs, so I think it all works out. When I reviewed Flowers in the Attic, I was so disappointed that I didn’t get to write about blood drinking. Andrews fan from …in the Attic wrote a recap of Lifetime TV’s Petals on the Wind and shared it with us.
