There was so much going on with this - 5 characters and 2 timelines! - that it was hard to keep track of who was whom doing what for awhile, and then once I had it, with so many changes to the focused character it didn’t have enough time to develop. 

The idea was nice - a garden that spanned multiple generations with pieces of history missing - but it just felt a bit flat or the characters felt inconsistent becuase they changed quickly or felt a little out of character with so little information.
