The Daisy Chain Flower Shop: Sometimes Love Finds You in Full Bloom🌼
Perfect for my romance girlies.
5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 🌶️🌶️ Low Spice
Hello Gentle Reader,
Daisy is good at a lot of things. She knows every flower there is and how to arrange them perfectly, she crafts beautiful bouquets and flower crowns with love and style. She's a good friend. Her best friend Iris can vouch for that. She fights for what's right at every town council meeting and supports every town festival, even if they sometimes feel like a little bit of an excuse for the town to celebrate just about anything.
So why is it that the one thing she absolutely sucks at is the very thing that keeps her business, her lifestyle and her heart thriving... love.
One failed marriage and another failed engagement has everyone in town thinking she's cursed, and while she once filled wedding venues with blooms, she now only books funerals. And as horrible as it sounds, there just aren't as many people dying in Dream Harbor as you'd think.
My heart literally ached for Daisy. We've all been there. Young and in love, made plenty of mistakes, tried to learn from them as best we could, only to repeat the vicious cycle all over again. Only it's very rare that our failed relationships haunt our livelihood. If there's anything I've learned from this book it's that sometimes people come into our lives to teach us something. To make us stronger. They're in our lives to mold us into the very person we're meant to be for someone else. Heartache sucks, but it has a beautiful way of reminding us, when we least expect it, that the heart is only strengthened by being broken.
In walks Elliot, a historical bookworm and introverted, shy soul on the page. In some ways he and Daisy have so much in common. Both bad at love, both just wanting to get past it, move on and show the world it's okay to not have someone. To move through life as one individual. There was so much about the world to feel fulfilled by and he didn't need a relationship to take notice of those small things. When Daisy and Elliot's worlds collide, they learn rather quickly that despite what they may think, their failures, their embarrassments, their broken hearts were all to prepare them for this.
The Daisy Chain Flower Shop is a story that reminds you that some people come into your life for a season, while others come into your life for a reason. The strength of our hearts doesn't come from never being broken, but from after the passing of time, the quiet nights at the dinner table, the empty side of the bed, and when we least expect it, despite the pain, loving again. Only this time more passionately, more fiercely, because we know what it's like to have lost it. We know what it's like to crave it, and as much as it hurts when it's wrong, it loves ten times stronger when it's right.
I highly recommend this read to anyone looking for a short, feel good romance, or anyone who may need some encouragement and hope to never give up on love. Don't get me wrong, from my experience it definitely takes work and no one's perfect, but in my case it came when I least expected it. Now over 10 years with my husband and 6 years married, I can say confidently that I'd walk through every single trauma, bad experience, heartbreak and embarrassment all over again, just knowing that it led to him. Don't give up on love, and when in doubt remember, with the right person... it never gives up on you.
With love,
Jasmine
