I have to think about where my raiting will be on this one. It's not a bad book. It's either a 3 or 4 star read.
Edit:
So, I thought about the book, and honestly I have to give this book a solid 3 stars. I'd round it to a 3.5 if I was feeling generous but to me it just wasn't worth a 4 or 5 star read.
The reasons I state is that I found the story a bit too simple. Not enough characters, and the incident takes place over a couple days in both timelines. Which bummed me out, if I could be honest. I felt that she did a great job of capturing a time period, interesting characters and a situation that screamed for more tales/more apothecary visits.
I felt that there could have been so much more to be had from this book, but I felt like the situation seemed to develop and complete itself way too fast.
I think people will rate it higher, and that's fine, for me, I just wanted something longer and more fulfilling.

This book was interesting and I thought the past and present day storylines were interesting in how they played out. I was hoping for more back stories of the women who were requesting potions from the apothecary but it focused on just one story mainly and the relationship between those two characters. I thought the main character in present day, Caroline, was not super like able and I think the whole plot of how she gets into her research is a little far fetched. It’s an easy read but one that didn’t really keep else excited to want to keep reading.
