so boring

A real beauty.

There’s a reason it’s labeled a classic! It’s a simple but ultimately heartwarming story. I actually really enjoyed listening to the audio version this time around.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett was such a sweet and hopeful read. The historical charm definitely shows its age, but the story still resonates—especially for younger readers. The details, the friendships, and the quiet growth throughout felt so warm and comforting. A lovely little classic.
