A review by juliaxgulia
The Confidence of Wildflowers by Micalea Smeltzer

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

3.75

Holy crap, to think I almost DNF. That ending was wildly traumatic, but I understand why it is. The age gap romance trope was hard to get through, but the writing perfectly captured the heartbreak of what often happens in an age gap relationship, especially when one party is barely legal.
