The Last Lavender Sister by Melissa Brayden

4.0

This is my first book by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing style and the beautiful small-town setting were great. Aster stood out to me as an intriguing person with a lively and positive perspective on life. Her passion for cooking was really beautiful. However, at times, she did come across as quite naive. On the other hand, my feelings towards Brynn were not as positive. While I empathized with her background, triggers, hurt, and fears, I found her treatment of Aster hard to like. Despite this, Brynn took responsibility for her actions without making excuses and looked really guilty for what she did, that improved her impression for me. However, the 2-year gap during which they were apart didn't sit well with me, it seemed really unnecessary. Despite that, the overall story was enjoyable, and it was a nice read.
