Tahira in Bloom by Farah Heron

This one was okay. I liked the small town, but it was hard to really care for the characters. It had some cute elements though the influence aspect of the story was annoying.

This book gave me anxiety sometimes. The societal pressure of knowing what your future career is going to look like when you just 17/18. I wanted to scream! 

Overall I thought it was a good book, especially when it comes to self worth discovery and being the ultimate best isn't for everyone.

This was a cute YA romance with some light enemies to lovers vibes. I didn't LOVE it but I did have a good time.

I LOVED this YA debut from Canadian author Farah Heron! This story features Tahira, an aspiring fashion designer who decides to spend the summer working with her Aunt and her flower shop. Big city girl meets small town magic, Tahira initially clashes with Rowan but the two slowly bond as they work together on a flower design competition. I really, really enjoyed this #ownvoices YA summer love story! Highly recommended for fans of Sunny Song will never be famous. The author wasn't afraid to address issues of microaggressions or racism in the fashion industry and does a great job writing about a relatable teen social media influencer. Great on audio, this was one of my favorite YA reads of 2021!
