Jade (Wildflowers #3)
by
V.C. Andrews
Jade had listened to Misty and Star tell their stories. Now it is her time to speak. But she can't. For while the others in Dr. Marlowe's therapy group had exposed their hidden pains and secret pasts, they are nothing like Jade. They don't know what it is like to be a pawn in a courtroom battle too hateful to ever forgive. Or that escaping the madness had lured Jade into a...more

Jade is de dochter van zeer rijke ouders, allebei met een verantwoordelijke baan. Als haar ouders willen scheiden, proberen ze allebei de voogdij van hun kind op te eisen. Dit gebeurt door de ander zwart te maken, te bewijzen dat zij meer geld aan de opvoeding van hun kind hebben besteed en vooral door haar liefde te kopen met dure cadeaus. Als Jade echt iemand nodig heeft, hebben haar ouders geen aandacht voor haar. Via internet komt ze in contact met een jongen die haar begrijpt. Jade besluit...more
VC Andrews has always been a favorite of mine since my childhood days. I have read (and re-read) all of her books, and although I am much older now and find that some of her work is better than others, I still enjoy the twists and turns, strangeness and mystery that continues to captivate my interest.
With that being said - it might also explain why I find the ghostwriter's quality of work lacking and less memorable than Andrews true writing, especially with the newer, more modern series.

Out of all four books in this series, Jade was easily the worst. It wasn't that she was a spoiled rich girl or anything like that. I actually liked her for a while. However, the cyber-relationship and her falling into "Sonny"'s trap was ludicrous. Yes, this kind of thing happens, but in this book, it is hysterical. Jade is supposed to be a smart girl, she's on the honor roll, whatever.
But when she realized something was wrong, she didn't run. And what follows is just utterly ridiculous as a old...more

Jade has definitly been my favorite in the Wildflower series. Like the others it was simply written but with this one there was more to enjoy. More moments where words captured that magical little insight into something bigger and better. I felt like the pain felt by Jade was truer than the pain felt by the others. Or at least it was in the brilliant description.
In general Jade as a character has been my favorite. I can relate her more than either of the two previous girls. Not only that, but he...more

VC Andrews has once again written an exciting, quick read that will appeal to younger and older readers alike. I could remember faintly that something bad had happened to every girl in this series, when they had tried to run away or do something stupid... And for Jade, this was so very true. It was very strange to hear about how Jade desribed being in a chat room etc. This book was published in 1999, so it was a newish thing back then :P She runs off to meet a guy who understands her, since her...more
This one is my favorite, absolutly. I dont exactly know whyy, but I think I just feel closer to Jade then anybody. Which is WAY weird, but I think she's maybe a bit more... I dont know, current? I cant really explain, but this book takes you along her story and past and memories.(**Spoiler alert**) I feel for her, and my feelings grew when she ran away and that man...*shivers*... practically raped her. No one even noticed she was gone! What's up with that?! Again, very powerul words within this...more
This is the third book in Andrews' disappointing Wildflowers series. If you enjoy Andrews' books, I would recommend skipping this series.
I read this as a teen and at that time, the characters felt so real, so relatable.

Her story was similar to Misty's and I still get confused between the 2.

It is interesting how where a person is in their own life can affect how one feels about a book.
Generally, I probably would have liked this book. But not right now. Why I continued to read it after knowing that I was not in the "right" place to read this is unknown to myself. This book is a standard V.C. Andrews book, again, which I generally enjoy, but not this book, not right now.

Jade is book three in the Wildflowers series by VC Andrews. This series is about group therapy for four teenage girls, who call themselves OWP's Orphans with Parents. Each book focuses on the tragic story of their lives. The third book is about Jade's life with her neglectful, selfish parents and the road that brought her to Dr Marlowe.
You see, I didn't like Jade so much reading the other stories, but her story was a good one - interesting and damn creepy!
Beautiful book, really well-written as well. Loved it.
set of 5 enjoying them all
