#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.

This book is full of heart. I couldn’t put it down. I love the family relationships, the gardening instructions at the start of each chapter, the humor, and the sense of community. When I first saw the instructions at the start of each chapter, I inwardly groaned and thought I’d skip these parts but I’m glad I didn’t because 1) they are funny; 2) gardening is hard; and 3) I would read a whole book about gardening if this author wrote it. The kids were real and hilarious and I envy Lillian’s relationship with Rachel.
