The Words Shimmer by Jenn Matthews

4.0

This was an easy and enjoyable read. I like the way the author writes; it flows nicely. Loved both the main characters, though I will say at the start I wasn't too keen on Ruby. That first meeting between her and Mel... wow Ruby was a, well, not a nice word. haha I do so love prickly characters though that you end up loving, and Ruby was definitely one of those. She just comes across as thorny at first; she's actually quite adorable, as is Mel. Their little garden class with the kids was precious. Michael was easily my favorite of the children mentioned. The children's teacher however... Well, let's just say I really wanted to go through the book and throat punch her on more than one occasion.

I felt the relationship within the book progressed nicely and realistically. The bumps in the road for them were natural enough and not overly dramatic like some do. There was one bump though that hurt me right in the feels and I wanted to curl up and cry with the character myself.

All in all a really good book that I thoroughly enjoyed. :)
