Today’s Topic: Spring Flowers Book Tag
Found On: Zezee With Books
Daffodil: A book about unrequited love
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
This book is all about unrequited love, as it follows a guy who has a job as “internet security officer” and screens people’s work emails. He falls in love with a girl he’s never met by reading her emails and getting a sense of her personality. While the concept is cute, its a borderline stalking which makes it kind of creepy.
Foxglove: A book you pretended to like
For the Record by Charlotte Huang
This book sounded like such a good contemporary novel, but in the end I didn’t really enjoy it. The concept of a band going on tour fun, but the main character was way too hard on herself and was constantly whining about everything.
Lilac: A book about a first love
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
I loved this series in high school. I liked that it featured an interracial couple and the whole plot of two people coming together from different backgrounds (almost like West Side Story). The initial attraction between the two is there in the beginning, but Elkeles takes her time in building up their relationship.
Hyacinth: A book with a sad ending
Radiance of Tommorow by Ishmael Beah
The book does come to a somewhat happy ending, but it’s tinged with an overall sadness. The whole book is a about a village trying to rebuild their homes, family, and livelihood after a civil war and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I enjoyed Beah’s storytelling style.
Peony: A book that made you feel embarrassed
I don’t have an answer for this one…
Tulip: A book with the most beautiful declaration of love
Hold Me by Courtney Milan
Just finished this book and it was so good! Look for my review of it in May’s Romance Roundup. The characters are well written, the romance is sweet, and I couldn’t put it down!
Crocus: A book that made you laugh out loud
You Can’t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson
Though it deals with some serious subject matters such as feminism and race, Robinson does a wonderful job of discussing these issues in a comedic way. I had fun reading this book and I also laughed out loud. I could relate to so many of the stories she shared in this book.
Pansy: A book that challenged you to think about an important or heavy subject
The Bone Sparrow by Zana Frallion
An intriguing novel that raises awareness about the refugee crisis. It deals with some heavy topics, but I loved the style in which it was written and the characters gave me so many emotions.
Daisy: A book about a strong female friendship
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
This is a classic YA book about female friendships. It’s been years since I’ve read this story, but I love the strong friendship vibes and how the girls go their own individual journeys. Over the course the story I liked how much they evolved.

I still need to read the last book, but I agree with you about Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. The friendship is one of the reasons why I’m hooked on the series.
