"Girl, you are the epitome of spoiled. I can smell it in your expensive perfume, in the quality of your ridiculous clothing, in the bracelet wrapped 'round that delicate wrist. You won't last out here. You'll stay blind to the environment that surrounds you. You'll live in your clean, perfect bubble and return to your posh life come six months. You are... you. I know your kind. I've seen it all before. You will never wake up. Not really."
Vain is the fist book in the seven deadly sins series by Fisher Amelie. Sophie Price has always relied on her good looks and her father's money. She manipulates her group of rich friends and she's the queen bee.
"I fitted into your life, showed you ecstasy, and left you dependent. I did this for fun, for the hell of it, for attention. I wanted to be wanted, and my word, did they want me. Did they ever."
Sophie was raised by a nanny, until the age of 14, when she fired the nanny herself. Sophie's parents only showed her attention when it involved closing a business deal or keeping up with appearances. The one thing Sophie yearned for was attention from her parents.
"Freedom is just that. Absolutely no restrictions. I abandoned myself to every whim I felt. Every want I fulfilled and every desire was quenched. I wanted for nothing. Except attention"
During a weekend party with her friends, Sophie gets caught with the possession of cocaine. Sophie Price is used to getting off easy, but this is not her first drug charge. Sophie gets sentenced to serve six months at the Masego orphanage in Uganda, Africa.
Vain is a heart wrenching story of redemption. This was the first book I've read by Fisher Amelie and it was beautifully written. This is an emotional and a suspenseful read. I can't wait to read the next book in the series Greed. I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I did.
