Official Review: Pressing Flowers by Katie Blanchard

[Jsovermyer]

This is a heartbreaking and touching story. I love character-driven stories and the main character, Miriam, is sympathetic and well-developed. That you cried over the story shows how deeply the emotions are portrayed. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

Seriously...Best.Review.Ever!!! Thank you so much! Today's BOTD sounds amazing, and I think readers will find the characters and situations relatable. Life is hard, as is change and all of its adjustments. I'm looking forward to seeing how Miriam grows as a character as she faces her new reality. Emotional, indeed! Thanks for the tip about having tissues nearby. Great job! ❤

This really sounds like an emotional story. I am familiar with the struggle to get out of bed after a loss. I may read it because I'm hoping after it all Miriam will prove to be strong for herself and her daughter and finally finds her way. Congratulations on BOTD .

Sounds like a very tragic story but with the possibility of a hopeful ending. While I have not read the full story I am intrigued to find out more about the 7 conditions Miriam must complete to meet her goal. Sounds like an uphill struggle with a hopeful soft place to land.

This sounds like a great book, but it also sounds like a very tough and emotionally difficult read. I can't imagine going through what the protagonist did, and I feel that this would be a tearjerker for me! Very glad to hear you enjoyed it so much.

From just reading the prologue, I am captivated. This review definitely makes me want to read this novel. As someone who has experienced a lot of grief in my life, I can only imagine the emotions and tears that will come up during this book. I am a sucker for a character-driven book and especially one that makes me cry. Thanks for a wonderful review!

I had expected something different but, having read the first couple of pages and now this review, I can tell that this is going to hit harder than I thought it would. I can't wait for the tears.

This book seems to be quite fun and the story seems quite interesting

[navyapindi]

Character-driven novels are my most favourites.. an emotional ride with a story of grief and coping up is intriguing.. congrats on the BOTD..

This one sounds like a heart-wrenching read, definitely not one to read right before you have to go out anywhere. After reading your review I feel that the blurb for the book just doesn't do it any justice; I'm looking forward to reading it. Thank you for a wonderful review

The review not only gives fitting tribute but has also captured the intensity of the author. Loved the prologue of the story, very visual. I was there.

I am glad to hear that this book was a good one. I'm one that I tend to not easily cry at books but I feel like this story might just be one of the ones that has me needing to keep the tissues close.

This is a great review! I like how you used the phrase "feel all the feels." Understanding how one overcomes grief is intriguing to me, and my curiosity in that would be cause enough for me to read this book. I think it's also good for everyone because when someone we know has a death in the family, this book can teach us how to relate, and maybe even how to help that person recover.

This sounds like a really emotional journey. Losing someone you love is hard, and it seems like Miriam really struggles with her grief throughout the book. I know it would be a tearjerker for me. Thanks for the awesome review!

Life goes on while we grieve. Everyone deals with grief in their own way and time. A novel about grief, love, determination, and strength. A very uplifting and inspiring book, especially for the ones, dealing with grief. Thank you for the thorough review.
