Forget-Her-Nots

I think a twelve year-old girl would love this book.

I am not twelve so I found the story pretty simple and the main character pretty frustrating. Though, I think fourteen year-old girls probably are that sort of frustrating so it's realistic.
I didn't particularly like the characters so I wasn't especially engaged, didn't adore her crush nearly enough for it to be romantic, wasn't enthralled by the whole flower thing (it wasn't quite magical enough or developed enough to be powerful).

But I think my twelve year old self would have liked it and easily given it 3 stars. I don't think she'd be bothered by how simple the story is and would probably like the crush and take the idea of the flower language and just run with it, because the idea of it is pretty interesting.

I liked the author's intentions a lot and think I would enjoy the result more if I were the appropriate age for the book :)
