Mazey Eddings is the queen of writing neurodivergent characters. She never fails. I loved the mental health yep and I feel like these characters rang very true. 

What didn’t work as well for me here was the love story. I seemed a bit contrived. Also, the whole book is centered around the flowers but there seemed to be no resolution here. 

Ellie Gossage did a fabulous job with the narration and I truly got a sense of who the characters were based on her embodiment of them. 

Mazey will continue to be an auto read author for me, this one just fell a bit short.
