I'm very conflicted about this book. I love the premise, the backdrop of the apothecary shop, and the single dad trope (although it's not usually for me!), but the plot seemed to drag for most- if not all- of the book. It usually takes me a few days to read a book but this one took me about three weeks and really put me in a slump. I wanted to know what happened, but I kept finding myself doing another hobby instead of reading to avoid sitting down with this one. It's definitely not a page turner that keeps you up at night.

I think I'll still give the second one a try when it comes out since I love the characters themselves and the setting! 

Thank you to Berkley for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.
