The Whole Thing Together

Ann Brashares

DID NOT FINISH: 67%

It really rides that “it’s technically not incest” line. Did not enjoy the romantic-flavored turn the inner monologues took.

The Language of Flowers

Vanessa Diffenbaugh

DID NOT FINISH: 52%

I decided to stop reading this book because I did not find the main character compelling, at least as an adult. Because of this, it was hard to feel sympathy when she faces a major plot point
(her pregnancy)
. I additionally was expecting the picking flowers to help people to be the main thing that drives the plot, but it was more the main character's life difficulties. Overall, just not what I wanted from it.
