Love & Pollination by Mari Jane Law

5.0

“Love & Pollination” is Book 1 of the ‘Love & Mishaps’ quirky romantic comedy standalone series. 

 

I truly adored Perdita - what a character! The more I learned about her, the more I found her fascinating. Kind, self-depreciatingly funny and genuine, she really feels like a life long friend now.  Her use of alternative terminology and botany analogies were just brilliant - pollination, germination and seedling had me in literally in hoots of laughter. 

 

These ‘will they/won’t they’ tropes are soooo frustrating! I’ve never been more on edge - not in a tense way but in excited anticipation reading how the characters fight their true feelings. 

 

In particular I enjoyed Gavin and Luke’s characters and their caring relationship towards Perdita.  I can see there’s lots more to come from their own relationship in the future and I have fingers crossed it goes the way I’m hoping. 

 

Saul was a debonair character and I was wishing with all my heart that the story would conclude to a highly satisfying conclusion. You’ll need to read the book yourself to see whether this was actually achieved or not! 

 

This superb, wacky love story is unique, delightfully adorable with comedic love scenes that will have you cheekily giggling and I don’t think I’ve genuinely enjoyed reading a romantic comedy as much as this one. I have high hopes for the next in the “Love and Mishaps” series and I intend reading “Love in the Cupboard” straight away to get my next rom-com fix!
