I know that there are different books for different people but this really was not for me. I know books can make us feel all the feels but this one was really very depressing almost all the way through. I gave 1.5 stars rather than 1 because it did have me hoping for Salem and Thayer there for a bit. I saw there is a book 2 but I have no desire to put myself through stuff like that again.

✨️REVIEW✨️ The Confidence of Wildflowers by Micalea Smeltzer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶

Favourite quote "I'm not bright like you, but I promise, when your days are dark, I'll be your light."

I loved this book from the moment I started it. It kept me hooked all the way through.

Salem is 18 years old and finds herself with a new handsome neighbour, Thayer, 31 and a single dad to Forrest. 

He's a grump and she's the sunshine. You can see where this is heading right. It's going great until the tragedy hits and my poor little heart is broken...sobbed and sobbed. 😭💔 

I haven't recovered and I'm broken, I need to give it a day before I start the next one as I'm not sure I could cope with any more hurt without a HEA. 

The writing style is great, easy to read and follow. The storyline is good and the characters are great. 

I would check TWs before reading as there are mentions of s$xual and physical abuse and d3eath. 

Another new author for me but will (when I've recovered) be reading more of.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. Thankyou @netgalley @micaleasmeltzer
