Here's a blurb from Amy Brecount White's website: When someone leaves three mystery flowers outside her dorm door,Laurel thinks that maybe the Avondale School isn’t so awful after all — until her own body starts to freak out. In the middle of her English presentation on the Victorian Language of Flowers, strange words pop into her head, and her body seems to tingle and hum. Impulsively, Laurel gives the love bouquet she made to demonstrate the language to her spinster English teacher. When that teacher unexpectedly and immediately finds romance, Laurel suspects that something — something magical — is up. With her new friend, Kate, she sets out to discover the origins and breadth of her powers by experimenting on herself and others. But she can’t seem to find any living experts in the field of flower powers to guide her. And her bouquets don’t always do her bidding, especially when it comes to her own crush, Justin. Rumors about Laurel and her flowers fly across campus, and she’s soon besieged by requests from girls — both friends and enemies — who want their lives magically transformed — just in time for prom.
I think flowers and their meanings are such a dying art. I love flowers and think they're just so wonderful. Laurel has to grow to understand her gift and master it as well. This book really moved. It had virtually no swearing or sex. The cover is lovely. I say 3 1/2 roses for this one.
Oooh what a sweet idea! I love getting flowers, this would make them that much better *grin*
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a charming book and one I would love to read. Definitely adding it to the growing pile!
ReplyDeleteYou sold me on this book. "Flowerspeak" what a neat idea! I am a flower lover too.
ReplyDeleteI noticed you have the Book Thief on your "nightstand." it's been on my stand, literally, for five months now. I'm about 1/3 of the way and just can't keep interested. Curious to see if you will review it.
Love the idea of this book! Thanks for the review :)
