Assuming the author set out to tell an innocent story and provide an easy read, she did just that. Flower shop owner Quincy wants her happily-ever-after but murder and conspiracy get in the way.There were very minor issues in the book when it came to grammar that it’s not even really worth mentioning it. In fact, I only remembered one word – “waived” instead of “waved” – a few times. Nothing to distract or take away from the story.The flow had the book progressing naturally and I never found myself wondering why a certain scene was included. This spoke to the good layout of the plot. My only thing was I had wished to see more investigation go on, instead of things seeming to line up for Quincy.The main character, Quincy grew throughout the story, working through her issue when it came to trusting other people—in particular her new boyfriend, Alex. While she was willing to open herself up, she didn’t seem to realize it, which made for a more realistic character, in my opinion.The dialogue was natural and reflected well the personality of the different characters. I particularly cared for the way Quincy’s friend, K.C., spoke. She had her own lingo, making it like real life.Over all, I’d have to recommend this book for someone who wants an innocent read. Some may have an issue with the feelings expressed when it came to intimacies between Quincy and Alex, but to me, they were also realistic.
