Opal wins the lottery and decides to start anew, purchasing a flower farm. However, current resident Pepper is outraged, refusing to leave and the two end up uneasily cohabiting.
- The main characters were cool and the neurodivergent representation was absolutely excellent. I identified so much with both of them and how they process the book's events. This is one of those books where I kind of wish I knew the protagonists in real life.
- The plot and progression were a little off at times. I get that this is a contemporary romance and not some great literary romantic classic but often things felt rushed or the romance side not necessarily clicking well with the steamy parts. It's not horrendous by any means but could have been a little deeper and more polished.
- The vibes of this book were excellent to me: beautiful floral landscapes, nature, cosy farmhouse. It was simple, occasionally cheesy, romantic fun. The beauty of the setting was lovely and if vibes and how easy it was to read were my only concerns, this would be a five star read.
Easy, cheesy and fun. I would recommend to those who want a lighter, less complicated romance with diverse representation.
