Gegen Liebe ist kein Kraut gewachsen by Abbi Waxman

luciearan's review against another edition

Skvěle vybalancovaná oddechovka, s trochou smutku, lásky, radosti, romantiky i humorem. Kniha, která vás přenese mezi záhony, zeleninu a žížalí čaj. To vše pod horkým kalifornským sluncem, s pár vtipně podanými zahradnickými tipy. Super čtení na léto i jako motivace si vypěstovat něco pro sebe.

I always forget how much I love Abbi Waxman's characters. 
Do vegetables really grow that fast in LA? because they don't grow that fast in Seattle.

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!
