Summary

Flowerheart is like a garden in full bloom: vibrant and sweet, whimsical and wondrous.” —Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic

Perfect for fans of Margaret Rogerson and Tamora Pierce, this stand-alone YA debut is a cozy, cottagecore fantasy romance about a girl with powerful and violent magic that she must learn to control—or lose everything she loves.

Clara’s magic has always been wild. But it’s never been dangerous. Then a simple touch causes poisonous flowers to bloom in her father’s chest.

The only way to heal him is to cast an extremely difficult spell that requires perfect control. And the only person willing to help is her former best friend, Xavier, who’s grown from a sweet, shy child into someone distant and mysterious.

Xavier asks a terrible price in return, knowing Clara will give anything to save her father. As she struggles to reconcile the new Xavier with the boy she once loved, she discovers how many secrets he’s hiding. And as she hunts for the truth, she instead finds the root of a terrible darkness that’s taken hold in the queendom—a darkness only Clara’s magic is powerful enough to stop.

Cute cover, boring storyline

I lost interest in the book by the 10th chapter. The story was mid at most and the the characters did not have much depth for me to care for them in any way. I liked the way they used magic as a way to explain mental illness but combined with a mediocre plot and bland characters, it did not really live upto my expectations.

amazing!

Flowerheart is probably the most cottagecore book I have ever read! Filled with tea parties, magic, flowers and a very sweet friends to lovers romance.

I couldn't ask for any more from a book, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. One of my favourite books of the year so far, I haven't stopped thinking about it since I finished it. I hope there is a sequel to this one 🙏
