I’m an absolute folklore freak, so Linsmeier’s destiny-rich story involving a town where special roses bloom all year, and the legends attached to the town and her family is just a hundred percent my thing.

I read this book late into the night, trying to guess at the ending—and was wholly surprised by how the plot wrapped up.
