There are very few books that I can devour all in one day, but this is one of them! Diffenbaugh's Language of Flowers is absolutely heart-wrenching as we follow Victoria's journey from neglected and hurt foster child to young woman so pained by her past that she can't move on to the future. Her only real love is flowers and their meanings.

I had read and read how people loved this book, but I was still skeptical whether I would like it or not. (Divergent, anyone?) I was not led astray. This is really a wonderful, wonderful work of fiction that will stick with me for a long time.
