What an interesting fantasy realism book. As the cover can attest to, this book and its characters revolve around a garden of paradise where everything is ideal. Characters have gone there to escape their lives and start afresh so that they can heal from their past.
Our main character arrives to the garden after answering an advertisement for a job posting, heartbroken and stuck in her life. As the story progresses we understand the heartache that she went through and the obstacles she was unable to overcome in her old life. She forms new bonds and attractions and starts to feel better everyday. The only catch is she's also starts to feel suspicious. There are strange rules attached with this striking the perfect opportunity, and questions are not only unanswered but hostily shut down. There are many things to uncover in the garden of paradise. Peace Love and violence.
