I’m tentatively giving this five stars because I’m not quite sure what five stars looks like yet, but at this moment this book looks like the spitting image. I never imagined I would like it this much when I first opened it and it really caught me by surprise just how joyful it was to work my way through this piece of art. The characters of Mary, Dickon, and Colin were just so nice to read about and grow along with. I honestly think Dickon is the classic version of a young-adult fae prince. I’m also so happy that this book didn’t really have any conflicts. I feel like classic literature is quite gloomy at times and simply going on this wonderful journey of growing a garden from scratch with three children was a great curve away from that trope. I also think it’s the perfect spring/summertime novel because it makes you want to start your own garden and see all the little steps the plants take to becoming full grown beauties. I always find it hard to express my feeling on things I like a lot, but just know that you will feel quite content with your life after reading this and you will absolutely want to run to the garden store right away to start a garden of your own.
