I read it. The incest was just one facet in the whole novel. Mainly it’s about a insane mother who would do any to board up her children in a attic.

Im waiting for the gay polygamist incest remake of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” as “Seven Brothers Do Each Other”

What’s interesting is the elitist liberals then make fun of some states’ residents by stating their family trees don’t have any branches. Or that there are thousands of people and three last names. They push it and mock it at the same time.

Flowers in the attic is the first set of books I ALMOST read until I wanted to tear my hair out
The first book was kinda good- but the author kept going and going into such a ridiculous story line I finally just tossed the last one I tried to read into the garbage halfway through.
I do know people who read all of them and thought it was great literature.

Similarly, I remember seeing Vincent Price’s “Tomb of Ligeia” as a pre-teen kid and shrugging off the ending as “?”
When I re-watched it years later, and realized the necrophilia theme implied, it totally freaked me out.

That's 3 smooches I count for Luke and Leia.

I had no idea Flowers in the Attic existed until a few years ago. It's really about child abuse; incest is involved, but the circumstances are far from ordinary and it is not presented as normal or positive.
Some of Anne Rice's books so disgusted me that I no longer read anything she writes, but Flowers did not strike me that way.
