I'm so glad that I did! I loved the characters and atmosphere and slight magical nature of it.
While I didn't think anything was surprising or unpredictable, I don't think it was trying to be that. So it was perfect for what it was.
I listened to this on audio, but now I think I need a copy for my personal library.

I liked this book because of how it approached time travel, how the pieces of the puzzle wove together, how the characters make all of it happen out of the truest form of love, and Young's prose. This is my first time reading a book by this author, and the way that they write brings such vivid images to your mind that you feel as if you yourself are experiencing the characters' visions and memories. And this was the coolest part about reading this book because the immersion is sudden, vivid and jarring, and mirrors June's experience with the curse. I love when books make you feel exactly how the characters feel.
There was also a lot of flower language and animal symbolism woven throughout the story, which I thought was fitting because the family runs a flower farm. It was fun to look up what the plants mean in flower language and interpret what they symbolise within the story.
