Where Dandelions Grow by Lydia Howe {Book Review}

Today I’m going to be writing the FIRST EVER BOOK REVIEW ON THIS BLOG! *applause*

 

I’m reviewing Where Dandelions Grow, by Lydia Howe. This book will be released on 26th September (tomorrow). Congrats on getting this wonderful book published, Lydia! I’m really glad that I got a chance to read this beauty.

Plot:

Cousins are forever, or at least they’re supposed to be. 
What happens when your world falls apart and your dreams are mocked by those closest to you? 
Destiny’s idyllic childhood full of laughter and cousins abruptly ended when her mom uprooted the family to move them across the country with strict instructions to never talk about Swallow Ridge again. Eleven years later Destiny moves back to her hometown, determined to find her cousins… and answers. 
Plagued by generations of bitterness and manipulation, Destiny hides her life-long goal – unwilling to let anyone else trample her fragile dreams. But life in the cozy town full of dandelions teaches Destiny there’s more to life than what she’s been taught. 
Is it possible Swallow Ridge not only holds the answers Destiny so intensely searches for, but also the hope?
