I wanted to really like this book. But it fell short. It had so many good pieces, and good ideas. I love the in-depth and scientific descriptions of flowers and how I learned that having sunflowers at my wedding was a major faux pas according to the narrator (false riches!). Maybe my opinion of the book stems from my lacking knowledge of the foster system. I cannot possibly understand what it is like to not have a family, so maybe I just have to take the author at her word and accept that the main character's constant need to ruin anything good going on in her life is a real trait of foster kids.
Three stars out of five.
