Life is full of surprises in a winning novel about a girl dreaming big during one unexpected small-town summer.
When seventeen-year-old aspiring designer Tahira Janmohammadâs coveted fashion internship falls through, her parents have a Plan B. Tahira will work in her auntâs boutique in the small town of Bakewell, the flower capital of Ontario. Itâs only for the summer, and sheâll get the experience she needs for her college application. Plus her best friend is coming along. It wonât be that bad.
But she just canât deal with Rowan Johnston, the rude, totally obsessive garden-nerd next door with frayed cutoffs and terrible shoes. Not to mention his sharp jawline, smoldering eyes, and soft lips. So irritating. Rowan is also just the plant-boy Tahira needs to help win the Bakewell flower-arranging contestâan event that carries clout in New York City, of all places. And with designers, of all people. Connections that she needs!
No one is more surprised than Tahira to learn that floral design is almost as great as fashion design. And Rowan? Turns out heâs more than ironic shirts and soil under the fingernails. Tahiraâs about to find out what sheâs really made ofâand made for. Because here in the middle of nowhere, Tahira is just beginning to bloom.
