#AudiobookReview: The Impossible Garden of Clara Thorne by @summernengland

Book Cover
Synopsis: Love grows in the most impossible of places in Summer N. England's debut sweet and spicy cozy romantasy for fans of The Spellshop and For Whom the Belle Tolls

All gardener Clara Thorne wants is to live "happily ever after" in her beloved town of Moss, magically growing herbs and vegetables and trying to write her book. But Fate has other plans when The Goddess unexpectedly bestows her with an impossible quest. Clara has one month to travel to the cursed and abandoned town of Dwindle and grow them a garden. If she fails, she will be banished.

Only Clara's magic doesn't work outside of Moss, a fact she has kept hidden for years. Worse, the Goddess has assigned the absurdly sexy, annoyingly cheerful Hesper Altanfall to keep her safe. All leather and crossbows, Hesper is as determined to protect Clara as she is full of secrets—but Clara would rather eat thorns than accept help. Nevertheless, the two can't help but grow closer as they make their way across enchanted woods, share one too many tavern beds, and work together to rebuild Dwindle one garden bed at a time.

Clara, however, refuses to give in to their blossoming romance. She’s had one too many losses, and Hesper might the one to break her beyond repair. But if Clara can find the key to opening her heart, she may just unearth the life and love she's always believed to be impossible.

My Review:

This was SO cute I can’t even handle it. I usually need chaos and danger in my romance, but this cozy magical story completely pulled me in and didn’t let go 🌿✨ The whole atmosphere felt soft and comforting in the best way, and the character growth was honestly so satisfying to watch unfold. And that ending… I need more immediately.

The sapphic romance was done well. It felt natural, tender, and really added to the heart of the story without ever feeling forced. It just worked beautifully for these characters and their journey together 💛

The audiobook narration was absolutely fabulous. The narrator brought so much life and warmth to every moment and made it even easier to get lost in the world. I would genuinely love to see this adapted into a movie because the visuals alone would be stunning on screen 🎬✨

Also, that hedgehog absolutely stole the show.  ðŸ¦”💕
