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.

Technically I give it 2.5 stars. I WAS really into it. It talked so well about grief and coming through that. But there was considerably less decorum in this book! Definitely my least favorite by Abbi Waxman.
