The Blue Iris
The Blue Iris | Rachel Stone
2 posts | 1 read
Sometimes, uprooting the thorn-filled past is the only way we bloom. . . Tessa Lewis is set to embark on a Big-Time Career and marry Toronto's fastest-rising lawyer, who loves her to pieces. But when a visit to a flower market from her childhood sparks memories of the mother she lost too soon, Tessa puts her bright future on hold to work there, determined to come to terms with her past. At the Blue Iris Flower Market, everything is blossoming except the rag-tag crew, each hiding deep scars of their own. When Sam, the beloved but troubled man in charge, takes off and leaves the market reeling, Tessa and her unlikely new friends come face-to-face with their most uncomfortable truths, uprooting lives carefully cultivated-and just maybe, unearthing everything they've ever wanted. Told from multiple perspectives, The Blue Iris is an intricately woven exploration of love tested beyond its limits, chosen family, and the beauty that grows in letting go.

Slating this one feels kinda like kicking a puppy as it's just so earnestly twee, but I'm gonna do it anyway! The writing is so cringe (as "the young people" say) and the plot so cheesy that I did literally cringe most of the time I was reading this. The dialogue is borderline gibberish & some of the more, ahem, flowery similes were unintentionally hilarious. Confirmed yet again that I HATE (in block capitals, darn it!) romance.

Starting this one. My last read was so disappointing and I hated the ending so much that I really need something gentle and lovely to soothe my (book) rage!!!
