The events at the end didn‘t happen in the order I was expecting but it makes sense. Just predictable. Not something I want all the time.
I thought this would be a good book to listen to while working in my garden and dividing Perennials for my Garden Club Plant Sale. I did enjoy the flowers and the fact that heroine does yoga. But after awhile the syrupy sweet platitudes just made me role my eyes and say ugh. 😒
This is a great book for a summer read. Enough drama to keep the plot moving, but set in the south where life just seems slower. Sisters Lovey and Bitsy are reunited when Lovey returns home to Mississippi from Arizona for their parents 50th wedding anniversary. The story centers most around Lovey (aka Eva) and her past, present, and future. You might start this book and think it‘s predictable but I will say I literally said “DO WHAT?!”
The book I was tempted to buy simply because the cover was so beautiful. I'll post my purchases a little later! 🌹🌺

Not only was this book sad it was also “sappy” and predictable but in a good way. If you understand that then you‘ll more than likely enjoy it too. 3.5/5
I‘ve read too many sad books lately. I‘m hoping this one is at least a little happier.

🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭 full review here https://reecaspieces.com/2017/12/31/perennials-by-julie-cantrell/. Stop by and say hi. Full of southern charm and literary references
This was such a good book! And by finishing it, I‘ve completed my goal for the year. I may give my eyeballs a rest this weekend 😬😬#goals #goodreadschallenge
I went to grab Perennials at the library and of course had to grab one more. I‘m going to start Perennials instead of the other one I posted about. I‘ve been waiting a long time for this one so fingers crossed it‘s worth the wait!
4⭐️ She had me at the fireflies! One of my favorite memories as a child was catching fireflies in a large pickle jar with holes punch into the lid, right alongside my big brother. PERENNIALS is a beautiful story about family relationships, & is stocked full of engaging characters. Julie Cantrell writes exquisitely about family love, returning to our roots. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/169004025239/perennials-julie-cantrell-my-rat...
Started this one last night. It is sooooooo good.
This was my book haul last night from @SquareBooks plus one that is being picked up later after a signing. All are signed. I only paid about $38. I had several gift cards from hubby and a constant reader coupon. #score!!
One of the sweetest people ever! Cannot wait to read The Perennials. Met this sweet lady in a food truck line years ago! Her books are fabulous. #bookstagram #fiction #signedcopy #booksigning @SquareBooks
A sweet southern book written by one of my actual favorite people! It's not my usual type of read but there was a lot here to enjoy. Family dynamics are always fascinating to me, and with this novel I was thinking a lot about approval and how much of it we truly need from our family even as we go our own way. Very much a novel about how family can dictate who you are and what pushing back from that can do. Plus lit in the sip being championed!
