Brooke (Orphan Series, 3)

Summary: "Brooke" Flows
Review: When I first read this book, I thought it would be almost the same as "Butterfly". Pretty blonde girl gets adopted from the orphanage and lives with rich parents; father is as nice as can be but the mother is obsessive with trying to make the newly-adopted daughter and clone of herself. However, as I read on, I saw some differences: 1. Butterfly (Janet) tried to please her adopted mother (can't think of her name right now..."Mona" keeps popping into my head, but I know that wasn't it...) any way she could, while Brooke is a little more headstrong and does what she wants to do; 2. Brooke handles stressful situations better than Butterfly did until the end, which is just a smidge more dramatic than "Butterfly"'s ending; 3. Brooke does not let usually herself be intimidated. Unlike most of the V.C. Andrews heroines, she stands up for herself against the snotty girls at her private school. All in all, this was one of the better books in the "Orphans" series.
