The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
5.0

I really, really enjoyed this one. It was fresh and new in a way that I haven't come across in a while. The story was engaging (Goodreads describes it as "a vivid portrait of an unforgettable woman whose gift for flowers helps her change the lives of others even as she struggles to overcome her own troubled past"), and the layer of all the meanings of the flowers that was woven throughout the storylines was fascinating to me. I was rooting for Victoria from the early pages, and was so curious to see how her life would play out, and really enjoyed the way this one wasn't what I expected it to be at all.
