The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
3.5
hopeful inspiring mysterious sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Read this for our in person bookclub’s “Classic” pick. I don’t think I read this book as a child so it doesn’t hold the nostalgia for me it might for others. 

It was a nice pallete cleanser pick with a good story of friendship and love, but it also had problematic parts as it was written in 1911.  

I gave it 3.5 stars. I can say I read it, but don’t have any feelings negative or positive about it,
