JUNE BOOK CLUB PICK
๐ ๐๐๐พ๐๐: This book was pretty good, it was giving major Bridgeton vibes. I was giggling and kicking my feet at points. There were a couple plot points that just didnโt give everything they could have. For one Niamhโs friend was really hyped in the beginning and we more from/about her maybe once or twice. Also the fact that Niamhโs magic will eventually kill her, which is made to seem really important in the synopsis, just kind of is and that is it. Also Rosa was my favorite character and I canโt actually give you a concrete reason why.
๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐๐พ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐:
โIโm all thorns.โ
โI donโt know about that. I think youโre more like a weed.โ
โIs that supposed to make me feel better?โ
โYes! Weeds areโฆtenacious. They survive against all odds, wherever they land, no matter how many times you cut them down. And sometimes they can be quite beautiful.โ
