A review by bethgiven
Perennials by Julie Cantrell

3.0

"Everything in life can be explained by a garden."

Beautiful setting, even if the characters and the storyline were a little cliched. I am certainly no gardener, but I still found the descriptions of the lush greenery and flowers, in the heat of a Mississippi summer, to be lovely. And I ended up caring about the characters more than I thought I would. This is definitely a better book than the other one I've read by this author (Into the Free).

And how about that cover? So pretty!
Did I read this just so that beautiful cover shows up on my end-of-year Goodreads collage? Maybe!

Clean readers: this is billed as Christian fiction, and thus it's super-squeaky clean (even though one of the major themes of the book is infidelity).
