"Cottage-core meets fantasy with magic!
A young girl finding her way with the help of a childhood friend- or maybe more…"
Victoria
"This was such a magical, cozy, easy to love & read fantasy! I absolutely loved the authors writing! Reminded me of Stephanie Garber! I believe this is a standalone, which at first I thought was nice, but now I’m wishing there were more to this story! I’m so sad it’s done! Highly recommend!"

"I was recommended this book and it was so cute and the friends to strangers to friends to lovers trope had me confused and puzzled but I absolutely loved every moment of the book"

"This book had me feeling so many different, splendid emotions. Such a sweet, cute slow-burn kind of romance! I loved all the uses of flowers and their meanings and I hope to read more by Catherine Bakewell (if she will/has written anything else)!!!"
