An likable cast of characters and humor that almost impeccably matches my own. Ends a bit abruptly though!

shirleytupperfreeman's review against another edition

I'm a fan of romantic comedies especially when feeling the need to 'escape.' Lilian is a young widow with two daughters, a job as an illustrator and a wild, wildly supportive sister, Rachel. Lilian's boss suggests she take a gardening class in preparation for an upcoming book. Rachel joins the class, the class becomes a community and relationships happen. Light, funny and satisfying, this will be published in May.

As a widow and a gardener this book was a light hearted read that made me feel happiness can be reached again. I was a bit apprehensive when a friend sent it to me but I really enjoyed it and it’s made me think a lot about my situation and has inspired me. Gardening tips are great too im using them!

#readingchallenge2023 (my book that begins with a G)

Quaint story, not much to it- all of the characters were a bit one dimensional & so much of the story was repetitive in a dull way- wish there was more to the dynamics of the relationships presented (i.e the mother/daughters journey after the Dad’s death, the sisters bonding, the gardening club becoming closer) but everything was predictable & too light; like I almost wondered 'when is the 'story' coming'-

This was a cute story with great, funny dialogue; however, it just didn't really go anywhere and the storylines were very predictable.
