Half-Blown Rose by Leesa Cross-Smith
3.0
Thoroughly enjoyed this style of writing (a mix of narration, journal entries, playlists, script writing, etc.) though the pacing was incredibly slow. I’m not used to a story that’s so drawn out; however, we got to know the characters well, which built the tension and complexity of the story.
Thinking about how Vincent was going to ✨make a decision✨ was causing me heart palpitations and nausea lol. I found myself loving her as a character and also really disliking her (part of that complexity, eh!). The husband and lover are both sweet in their own endearing ways.
If you’re hoping for/expecting a clear ending, don’t! This is about as open-ended as it gets. I think I’ll understand my full thoughts about this book after discussing it with other folks… definitely a solid 3-3.5 star read!
