A review by bookish_kayy
In the Garden of Discontent by Lily White
5.0
Every time I sit down to read a book by this author, I know that there are gonna be things that throw me for a loop, and parts that make scratch my head, and parts that make me want to toss my device and cry.
This book did all of those things.
It took me but a few hours to claw my way through the story of Ensley & Noah, and I’m left here at the end trying to sort out my thoughts and emotions.
So here’s where I apologize if this review is essentially nonsense.
Ensley is still trying to sort her way through life after her family’s gruesome murder many years prior. She’s trapped in her schedule for day to day life, basically living in a haze. I felt that. And I could understand not only her pain, but her need for that consistency.
Noah has been gone for many years for this very crime. But now the time has come for his side of the story. And what was delivered to us was mind bending. I loved Noah. I could feel not only his infatuation, but the friendship, loyalty and love he had for the girl next door.
I haven’t read anything by this author that I wouldn’t recommend, and this one is no different.
