I love the smell of lavender. Are you with me?
And I love a good second chance, finding yourself, finding your people, finding your place in the world. Phew this book is really all that. With just a smidge of magic (and I do mean a smidge if it isn’t your usual thing) and a beautiful French village.
I really felt for Tempesta losing her mother at such a young age and never really fitting in after that. That made her redemption story all the more sweet.
The read was immersive and I could smell the lavender around her property and the other herbs in the greenhouse. It almost made me want to garden. Until I remembered I have the opposite of a green thumb. 😂
And if the story wasn’t enough, I listened to part of it and Caroline Hewitt was the perfect voice of Tempesta. Bringing that magic to life.
All the stars from me. I was enchanted from start to finish.
