The Confidence of Wildflowers (Wildflower Duet, #1)
by
by
TW for abuse, cancer, death of a loved one, and sexual assault. (view spoiler)
What a rollercoaster of a book. When this book started, we follow Salem after she's graduated high school. She has a boyfriend who is spending all summer preparing for college and Salem is working in her mom's antique shop. Salem feels very young because she is; she goes to parties with friends, goes shopping, and hangs out with her boyfriend. It took me a bit to get into this book and really care about this story because it felt pretty juvenile in the start. But then Thayer came in. Thayer is 31 and just moved in next door. Thayer and Salem run into each other a lot and slowly become friends until their friendship turns into an attraction that turns into something more. I really loved when their romance picked up and they confided their pasts to one another. They connected on an emotional level too and I loved that. I'm not sure how I feel about the turn the plot took at the end and how this book ends with our couple (it is book one in a duet). Both characters have to deal with trauma and Thayer really pushes Salem away when he is feeling emotionally underwhelmed. SOOOO much happens in that last 20%, but I really couldn't stop reading the book.

The set up looks promising, but the name of the heroine might give me issues. Don't know if I could get the cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch out of my head!
