Rated A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons 6/10
<div>This was fine, but it wasn't love. The writing style is a bit (forgive me) <em>flowery</em> for my taste, and Saffron is written as though she is very smart, and she mostly is, but she's also painfully naive. Also, she and this Alexander dude should just be buds, what with her "housemate who does housewife duties" bestie pining away at home. Maybe in future books there is a queer awakening for everyone involved? One can dream! But I am unlikely to continue on with the series. This might be more the sort of thing I'd watch instead of read.</div>
