I just couldn’t do it. This felt like trauma porn in that everyone had the most dramatic backstory ever. Beautiful writing and nice sentiment but I couldn’t connect to the characters and my desire for it to be over overrode whatever desire I had to find out what happened to this group.

I listened to the audiobook, it was well read. I liked the story, generational trauma, the flower farm, but it did drag on in some areas. I JUST realized there's a TV series so I'll probably check it out!

love the fact that characters in this book were complex. I couldn't hate them, but I also couldn't love them 🤔

One of the most beautiful books I’ve read. Alice’s life is worth reading. Have courage, take heart.
