A Reverie of Roses by Thea Hawthorne
4.75
emotional funny mysterious reflective relaxing medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I am obsessed with the world that Thea Hawthorne has created. So magical yet so calm and cozy.

Nora and Lisette both spent a lot of the book seeing very unlikable, but then you suddenly get character growth and their actions are re-framed through a new lens (is that a mixed metaphor?) and it is wonderful.
