2. “Dark, funny, intense – one of the best memoirs I’ve read in a long time… I’m no florist and never spent much time in flower shops, so I wasn’t sure how much this book would work for me. But it did. You see the craziness of the flower business.”

9. “As per the title, this is a really fun read. Smart, funny, silly (punny), sexy, tragic, honest, horrifying and uplifting, it is a vivid account of a young woman’s transition from adolescence to young adulthood with all of the joys and travails that entails. Highly recommended.”

10. “I really liked this book for many reasons: Its real, down to earth & tells it like it is. A lot of it isn’t pretty, which is funny because the setting is the flower industry, but it is genuine and real and honest & I appreciate that.”

via Paul Joseph

11. “Compelling, very funny, sometimes shocking. The book is emotionally tough sledding at times, but the adventures of this young florist (and the world of florists appear to be much different than anything I’d ever imagined!) moves at a fast and surprising clip. It all pulls together with a rueful but moving upbeat ending. Highly enjoyable.”

13. “Prepare for a wrenching tale of some f****ed up s***! You are 100% unprepared for the dark twist it takes right off the bat, and things just kind of get worse as they go. It’s definitely not a light-hearted tale or fun afternoon-on-the-beach reading.”
