Flowers from you by: MissPinkArcher
Requested by: MissPinkArcher

First I want to talk about the cover of the book. I love the bright colors of the cover despite the mature themes that are presented in the book. I also love the flowers on the cover  and how flowers may help a key part in the story too. Thought that was a nice touch and nod to what may happen in the book.

Next I want to talk about the grammatical errors and writing structure of the book. The writing structure I thought was fine in the prologue then I noticed that in the other chapters that it went downhill a bit. What I mean by that is that I noticed quite a few grammatical errors in the first few chapters after the prologue. It felt like you were going to edit the chapters as you were writing them due to how well the prologue was written but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I would recommend a bit of editing and it should be good to go.

Next I want to talk about the pacing and plot of the story. First let's talk about the plot of the book. I liked the plot of the story and how it revolves around two friends who are both dealing with their own issues after the death of the main male character's dad. I will talk more about the characters and their development in a bit but first let's talk about the pacing. The pacing I actually thought was alright and I definitely thought it wasn't too rushed in my opinion. It helped set up the relationship between the main characters and their family.

Finally let's talk about the setting and the characters of the book. First is setting. I liked the setting of the book. I thought it was alright and could imagine what was happening in the story and what was going on.

Now onto the characters. The characters I thought were pretty okay in terms of dealing with what was going on in their life's and each other. But unfortunately I wish we got to see more of their personalities before the death of the main character's dad. Now I don't know if we see this in flashbacks later on since I did only read the first few chapters of the book. But I still like there wasn't too much personality to them as they felt one sided and nothing else other than what we were seeing so far. Plus I wish I could have seen more of the relationship between the main characters and the main character's cousin cause it was mentioned that they knew each other but that's about it since he was only in like one chapter. I felt like the relationships between characters could have been flushed out more especially if there was a sub plot of maybe the cousin staying in the country with the main male character and his mom and the whole issue of them moving for a fresh start.

I felt like this would have been a good idea for a sub plot because of the fact it would have brought the relationship between him and his family forward a bit more while the main plot of the story was going on. It would have showed more of the dynamic of him and his mom now that his dad has passed. Also back to the characters being one sided, I felt if we show more of what the characters were into like sports, band, etc, it would make them more interesting and less one sided in terms of personality.

Overall, I did find this book to be okay and I would recommend it to anyone who loves reading books like it.

Thanks for letting me review your book.
