All That Glitters (Landry #3)

I personally felt bad for Paul he was living in a dream/fantasy land. 2 worlds were destroyed when Ruby and Paul found out they were 1/2 brother and sister. They shared an intense romance that Paul never really got over. She was his first love. He loved her so much he would do anything for her. Therefore he came up with the idea that they should marry so that he can provide for her and pearl ao that they wouldn’t miss anything life had to offer. Ofcourse with living conditions as brother and sister. I believe that he in his mind thought that with time or pretending to be someone else they could get over it and live as real husbands and wives do. It is sad he never let go of this dream he built for himself, pearl and Ruby. He developed a relationship with Pearl. I think Ruby was a little selfish through out this whole thing. How can you not see the damage it would cause Paul and how demented he is becoming. She should have never married Paul even if he agreed to do the things he said. Later in the book her baby’s father Bue (who is also in love with Ruby) marries Ruby’s evil twin sister Giselle who eventually gets bit by mosquitos and developes and infection of the brain. Beus wonderful idea is to switch Giselle & Ruby. Paul taking the ill Gisselle passing her off as Ruby; and Ruby & Pearl can go with Bue so they can live happily ever after ofcourse she has to pretend she is Giselle and is taking her neice while her mother Ruby is in recovery. There is nothing happy about PAUL’s ending. He lost a daughter (pearl), Ruby (the woman he loved) and now he lives in this misery. He starts to take in Giselle as Ruby and because he is so heart broken he accepted to believe that the dying giselle was Ruby. Ruby does act as if she is a little worried but the the fact that her sister is dying and Paul is the only one at her side at every hour of the day tells me she’s lived Giselles character a little too well. In the end i wish she didn’t marry Paul but she did and i wish she should have stood her ground and said the truth from the beggining. That she is Ruby, and not none of that sneaky stuff she did.

PAUL..although yes a sicknning idea for wanting to marry his sisiter he had his reasons for helping Ruby and Pearl and to live only with their happiness and ofcourse a little hope in his heart. Yes that hope was wrong. In a way he was quite innocent. He was quite a beautiful and creative person through out the book. It would have been a beautiful love story if they weren’t brother and sister.

This 3rd book in the Landry Series is really a piece of work. Who would do something like Ruby, Beau, and Paul. Who just switches wife’s because they love someone so much they want them to be happy. Paul obviously loved Ruby so much that he was obsessed with it. And what a mess these people made of their lives. And what people will do for love?

What’s not to like about this book. I’m re-reading all my favorite V.C. Andrews novels. Very recommendable to read for young adults to elderly.
