A review by missvariel
Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman
4.0
When I was suggested to read this book I was in complete adoration of the book. Why? Well mainly because my favourite author had given a good review of it. So it made me want to read it. And it sure was the right decision, to read the book that is.
I did notice that the book seemed like it was suited for an easier level of reader, for those who are not as strong of readers. But that might also be because of how strong of a reader I like to think I am.
Character-wise, they are developed strongly and full of realistic personality traits, especially to the day and age that they are placed in. They don't seem to be made better than needed and not less than they should be. Overall, they are amazing in their creation.
Plot-wise, I absolutely adored the plot. In fact, there were certain parts of the book that made me want to throw the book (Which of course I would never do because if you are a true book-lover you would never harm a book, let alone throw it!) I loved the pace at which the plot moved, how it was full of twists and turns. It was a book that dragged me in and caused me to lose myself within it.
Structure-wise, I love the way that Kimberly Freeman made the novel switch from past to present and vice-versa. The book was filled with great paragraphs and I don't think I saw any punctuation errors or grammatical errors, and if there was, they weren't very obvious.
Now, there was at least one flaw that spoke out to me when I was reading besides the level of reading it was at. That flaw was that
But all in all, I rate this book a 4/5 because it was pretty good and it made me sad when the book was over because I wasn't able to stay in that world forever, which I had wanted to do.
Great job Kimberly Freeman!

when Emma had just arrived at Wildflower hill, and didn't have much money as it had said earlier in the book that she had to sell her flat because she did not have enough money to keep it. And it said that Emma went and bought a "tiny vacuum cleaner, a CD player, and a portable phone- the only one in stock... I ordered two bouquets." (Page 246 of the paperback edition) So if she did not have money to keep her flat and barely any money to do other things, how then did she have enough money to pay for all of those items, as well as pay Monica for helping to clean the house? That just really stuck out to me and I couldn't shake it from my head.But all in all, I rate this book a 4/5 because it was pretty good and it made me sad when the book was over because I wasn't able to stay in that world forever, which I had wanted to do.
Great job Kimberly Freeman!
