3.5⭐️ I got this book during the BRAE event because of the beautiful cover and the plot seemed intriguing. This story was short but was fairly well developed. I would have liked to see some parts expanded on more, but overall I enjoyed this one. If you enjoy reading YA and stories about black girl genius, this is one you’ll want to read!
This was a AMAZING read!!! This story had me asking my parent how do we culture plants like this. I love both type of gardening and this read tied them together beautifully and sprinkled some black girl magic on top. I loved it so much I want want a part 2
