So I think this was actually the first book I had read by Cecelia Ahern, which led me to read all of her books in the short time afterwards!

I was never into dystopia (but that seems to have changed now) but I fancied trying it out anyway. I love the view on the justice system in this – that when someone does something wrong they are marked for life for their mistakes. It’s strangely close to society at the moment (minus the branding) which I think is what really pulled me in.

Celestine could be a little bit annoying, but who wouldn’t complain when they are being punished for helping someone and acting out of the kindness in their heart?

I loved that the action never stopped or even slowed down. It really kept the story going and helped me keep my attention on the plot.

The story of social justice was really gripping and the closeness to reality was scary and it kept me reading.

Rose is in turmoil and feels that she is lost. What made her choose an abusive man instead of the sweet young pastor that has a fondness for her? She is now in therapy and is trying to re-establish a relationship with her father, which was lost when she chose the master manipulator.

Can the kindness of a young preacher and the help of the Planted bible group bring Rose out of the darkness and fear in her life? Can she find the strength to survive and allow these good people and God’s love into her life?

This is the last book in the Christian suspense series, Planted Flowers. As with the other books in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.
