Review:

This was interesting, and I always find exploring new lives and careers is the easiest in romance books for some reason. I loved the flower aspect of it and how cute that was. I also really liked that she was an aspiring fashion designer. I did not love that there was no epilogue because I always wanted an epilogue, especially in romance books. This had well-developed characters, and the love interest was so cute. I love that it was a slow-burn romance with some little moments added in. This was definitely not my favorite Kasie West book. Still, it was cute and funny with a nice enemies-to-lovers aspect. We also find out the love interest liked her all along, which I loved.

Trigger Warnings:
Racism mentioned, Parental abandonment, Parental emotional abuse, Minor blood depiction & physical injury, and Death of a family friend
