My first read of 2023. Also the first book that held my interest to physically read it start to finish with really no slow spots. But is it good? Idk I’ve been in a slump and I’m trying different books. And to be honest, this sounded good. I liked the characters. There are so many trigger warnings so look those up.
**Spoilery** I just feel like my experience was tainted a tad because I knew something sad was going to happen at the end which from others reviews isn’t a spoiler, but I kind of think it is. So the whole time I’m trying to predict it and it was kinda predictable. Like I somewhat guessed the ending.
Anyway, it was an attention keeping book and no I didn’t cry and yes I’m going to pick up the next book.

I have literally no idea how to rate this book. I flew through it because I felt invested, but I also truly could not not stand the way a number of things were handled. I’m going to wait to rate it until I read the second book. Stay tuned.
Hierdie reeks het ek onlangs op een van die boek bladsye gesien en besluit om self beet te pak. Dit is 'n effe onkonvensioneele liefdesverhaal, maar nie ongehoord nie. Ek ken hele paar mense wat se verhoudinge ouderdomsgrense heelwat oorskrei wat baie suksesvol is. Die boek pak ook hewige onderwerpe soos verkragting, kanker, verlies van 'n ouer en 'n kind en alkohol misbruik aan.
Die karakters in die boeke het diep in my hart geklim, soveel so dat ek heel paar ander van die skrywer se boeke op Amazon gaan koop het om te sien of dit 'n one-hit-wonder was, maar ek is aangenaam verras om te sien dat ek haar boeke baie geniet.
Hier is paar grepe uit die boeke wat ek geniet het:
“Love is like wildflowers; It’s often found in the most unlikely places.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Flowers grow out of dark moments.” —Corita Kent

Honestly I am a little dissapointed. It is a really good concept and K read some reviews of boontubers I follow and they were loving about the book. So i expected. But it did not coherent with my expectations.
Some things felt rushed, sometimes plots were just spitted without a lead of some sorts. Also, there is TW for sexual abuse, and I expected the book to be more emotional then it was because of all the TWs. But , okay they speak about it, but it’s not the biggest concept of the book.
Also I really liked Salem and T together, but sometimes the lines that T said were not at all convincing or at least convincing to me.
It’s a sad day. The first 60% was really good and I really liked it but after that… I really wish I liked it more, because Smeltzer is one if my favs

The Confidence of Wildflowers was such a hyped book, and surprisingly, I gave in and went ahead and read it... Well, the joke is on me. Maybe Micalea Smeltzer is just not an author for me, but I hated everything in this book. The pacing, the drama, and especially the cliffhanger.
PS. I'm not going to continue the duet because I asked my friend to spoil the events in the second book for me. And all I'm going to say is, the death of a child was NOT worth it.
