This wasn’t my favorite Lisa Jewell book. But as always, she writes great characters! This one was very atmospheric, and the garden almost took on a life of its own. Not the most thrilling, not a mind blowing ending, but this would be a great spring read because of the setting and the lush greenery.

2.5. Felt very slow.
I didn’t expect it to end like that, but it was not really shocking either
