A review by amlibera
The Violets of March by Sarah Jio

3.0

To be truthful, I think I read the first few chapters several years ago and then this book languished on my Kindle. Now that I've read it, there's a good reason for that. The languishing I mean. It's just not that good. At face value, it's the "kind of thing that you want to read when you want to read that kind of thing." Comforting scenic PNW location, two timeline story, etc. But it just never really comes together. The characters are collections of traits rather than people, the romantic relationships are confusing, and the mystery (such as it was) resolved through incident rather than discovery. More like 2.5 stars.
