The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

5.0

I really enjoyed this book and probably could’ve finished it in a day. One timeline was very intriguing and the other did a good job showing what it meant for one woman to discover herself after years of putting her own needs aside. The threads that weave the two timelines together (especially the more climatic one in the present day) were really well done.

If I had to put it in apothecary terms, this book was one part dark history, one part fun mystery, and the tiiiniest pinch of magic—all mixed together with the various friendships of women. :) If you liked this book, I would recommend Things in Jars by Jess Kidd!
