Let me start by saying, I read this with my cousin in a book club and I was super busy the last couple of months. So maybe if I had more free time to read and get into the book, then I would've liked this book more.
The mom's name was Clare and I'm Claire, so that was fun. That was where the similarities between us end though.
Check out a drawing of what I think the garden looks like on my Bookstagram! (@claireisagrisha)
The book was overall good.
The ending was meh - I still have questions. And also, if I was Adele, I would've turned in Tyler (I get that she was a kid, but maybe she needs a therapist to talk through her issues.) and divorced Leo (he was overly pushy about his kindness to me).
