Publisher's summary

Sisters Jenna and Rosie bring out the worst in each other. So they mostly keep their distance.

But Jenna has suddenly found herself with no job, no boyfriend, nowhere to live - and no idea what to do next. Is life really supposed to be this difficult? Turning up on Rosie's doorstep is the last thing she wants to do, but it feels like her only option.

Rosie misses her old life, the one filled with fun and travel and excitement. These days she barely has the energy for her cute friend with benefits, let alone to take care of her little sister. Why doesn't she ever get to put herself first?

Somehow the sisters find themselves roped into a community project, forced to work together. As the group brings an overgrown garden back to life, curious - maybe even magical - things begin to happen. New friendships blossom and old wounds start to heal. But will Jenna and Rosie finally find their way back to happiness, and each other?

Heartfelt and Wonderful

I absolutely loved this audiobook! It took me a little bit to really dig in, and then all the pieces started coming together in satisfying and wonderful ways. Helped me rethink some of my own habits and approaches to mental health and relationships, and I was fully invested in all the characters. Thank you Melanie for writing such a touching book that’s both entertaining and thought provoking!
