Where Dandelions Grow has officially been released!!! *throws confetti* A friend of mine recommended that I read this book by Lydia Howe and I'm VERY HAPPY THAT I DID!!! It took me a few days to read it, but only because I've been VERY busy with my school work and haven't read anything except textbooks since I started! xD
Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of Where Dandelions Grow in exchange for my honest review.
Where Dandelions Grow
Author: Lydia Howe
4 out of 5 stars
Summary
Cousins are forever, or at least they’re supposed to be.
What happens when your world falls apart and your dreams are mocked by those closest to you?
Destiny’s idyllic childhood full of laughter and cousins abruptly ended when her mom uprooted the family to move them across the country with strict instructions to never talk about Swallow Ridge again. Eleven years later Destiny moves back to her hometown, determined to find her cousins… and answers.
Plagued by generations of bitterness and manipulation, Destiny hides her life-long goal - unwilling to let anyone else trample her fragile dreams. But life in the cozy town full of dandelions teaches Destiny there’s more to life than what she’s been taught.
Is it possible Swallow Ridge not only holds the answers Destiny so intensely searches for, but also the hope?

My Review
Where Dandelions Grow was a great book! It's a good book to curl up with on a chilly afternoon with a fuzzy blanket, and a cup of coffee! xD
The story line was really good and it was VERY, VERY clean. I REALLY liked the setting (I WANT TO GO THERE xD). And I wish Noveltea was real. Noveltea is a place I'd LOVE to work at!
The writing voice was gorgeous . Lydia described things very well. And the characters were really sweet, although they were a bit hard to get close to, compared to other books I've read, and hard to figure out.
But overall, it was a GREAT book and like I said earlier, VERY CLEAN!! I highly recommend that you read it!
