Where You're Planted
by Melanie Sweeney
Took me 0.5 seconds to decide I wanted to read this book. Librarian meets plant nerd? Always yes.
This was a lot of fun. Apparently Melanie had some struggles writing this one but it flowed so beautifully to me. I understood why she said that after mentioning in the acknowledgments that this story was inspired by her own experiences with Hurricane Harvey. Reading that her community came together to support her local library and botanical gardens made this story feel more real than it already did. I really felt like I was watching a movie while reading this. There was so much attention to detail on the overall experience of living in a town that experienced a 1,000 year flood, AND on top of that add in fun, lovable characters who all have their own unique personalities and storylines? Melanie should be very proud! This made me cry, laugh, giggle - what else do you want in a book?!
Tansy and Jack were such a sweet couple. Seeing them both knock down their walls and work together to fight for the relationship was so inspiring. Seeing Jack with Briar?! I loved their connection and how they bonded so easily. My first book by Melanie and would absolutely pick up another by her.
Thanks to the Author/NetGalley for the ARC!
