Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group for this advance copy. All opinions are my own.
Rose moves to Connecticut with her dad and on her first day there, she meets Hart Hargrove in a gas station while picking out a drink. There’s an instant connection between the two that leads down a very interesting journey of love. Hart invites Rose to an exclusive party at Hemlock Hill where she discovers that the garden contains a lot more secrets than what it seems. As she learns the secret of the Hargrove’s garden and estate, she has to decide whether love is worth the price.
This book was so beautifully written. It reminded me of The Invisible Life of Adie LaRue mixed with Belladonna. I devoured each page; the prose was just beautiful and every page made you think about the moral dilemmas surrounding the storyline. You put yourself in the character’s shoes and try and make the choices they make.
There was a great twist at the end that I didn’t see coming and it left me super satisfied. However, the ending is open-ended, which I am not a fan of, but I have zero complaints about this book. I’ll probably be thinking about this one for a while.
