The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman

3.75

This was a light read about finding companionship in a gardening group. I liked how kid-friendly this world was, but the jokes and descriptions that were less than kid-friendly then felt out of place and were completely unnecessary. I did think the romantic relationship could have been deeper; it almost felt like insta-love, and the sister relationship felt cyclical rather than advancing to show character growth. The descriptions of grief (the protagonist is a widow of about 4 years) were poignant, and the book was a good read overall.
