Okay darlings, this was a ride!
I’m just going to chitchat without any format because this book was pure entertainment.
Imagine a sweet man who will do anything to make you happy. A man who loves plants, so you never have to hear things like “We don’t have enough space for your plant” or “Another plant? Why?” He understands your plant obsession and fully supports it. Added bonus: he is an absolute beast in the bedroom. Yes, that is our sweet and adorable Ollas. He is perfection, and I will not accept any other opinions.
If guilt ever had a different name, it would be Eunny. I love her fierce heart and her determination to stay guilty and angry at the world. You rarely see a heroine so determined to hate herself because she hurt someone. It’s not really working for her, but she is absolutely committed to not letting herself be happy at any cost.
That’s what I can tell you about our two main characters. Plot-wise, I looooooove this series, and I’m so sad that the last book is now in my hands. I would like to lovingly appeal to Jaime to please give us stories for Gransen, Zhenya, and both of Ezz’s brothers. I know the third book is supposed to be the finale, but maybeeeee? Hm hm hm? No? 😄
Back to the plot. I love a good mystery and a strong villain, and Jaime delivered a plant mystery, which honestly feels personally targeted at me. If my house and garden prove anything, it’s that plants hold a very special place in my heart. (My home would already be a greenhouse if my husband didn’t stop me, but since he wants to buy me a Victorian greenhouse, I suppose I forgive him.)
So yes, this is my excited rant about not having enough books from the Valley.
Who would I recommend Growing Memories to? Every plant girlie, every girl who has ever felt like she doesn’t deserve happiness, and every woman who loves a shy boy with a hidden beast inside.
You will not be disappointed😉
