I definitely enjoyed the pacing, descriptions and concept of this novel! Magical realism that flirts with Southern gothic on a flower farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a smattering of endearing characters is lovely. The central mysteries of family secrets that bend time kept me guessing and making notes on theories. I’m not 100% sure it stuck the landing as far as the explanation and exposition go, but I am pretty partial to a particular model of time travel and this book got a bit creative. I’m willing to overlook a couple plot holes for the vibes though. Great audiobook listen! The narrator’s accents really helped fill out the beautiful setting and characters.
