Come for the story; stay for the gardening tips...

I was so surprised by this! I can't believe I didn't read this growing up, but I'm so glad I got to enjoy it now. The story was sweet and pure, loving and enjoyable. (This might be my red flag: I was waiting for something truly awful to happen. I'm glad it didn't though). 

I loved the dynamics between the characters and how beautifully written the whole thing was. I can't say enough good things about this book, it was such a breath of fresh air.
