![Family for Beginners: A Novel by [Sarah Morgan]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cTBb6gxvL.jpg)
New York florist Flora Donovan is living the dream, but her bubbly optimism hides a secret. She’s lonely. Orphaned as a child, she’s never felt like she’s belonged anywhere…until she meets Jack Parker. He’s the first man to ever really see her, and it’s life changing.
Teenager Izzy Parker is holding it together by her fingertips. Since her mother passed away a year ago, looking after her dad and little sister is the only thing that makes Izzy feel safe. Discovering her father has a new girlfriend is her worst nightmare—she is not in the market for a replacement mom. Then her father invites Flora on their summer vacation…
Flora’s heart aches for Izzy, but she badly wants her relationship with Jack to work. As the summer unfolds, Flora must push her own boundaries to discover parts of herself she never knew existed—and to find the family she’s always wanted.
Review
Flora feels like a fish out of water since she lost her mother at the age of eight. Everything changes the day Jack comes in front of her with a sad smile on his face looking for the right flower to give to his daughters who suffer from the recent loss of their mother.
Jack is a widower who does everything to make his daughters' lives as uncomplicated as possible but does not seem to be achieving success in his endeavors. Upon meeting the sweet florist Flora who seems to see through him, he sees a new chance for happiness to arise.
But Izzy, Jack's eldest daughter, does not welcome this approach and does everything to disrupt the couple. She keeps all her pain for herself and also struggles to keep her relationship with her younger sister, Molly very calm.
Molly is a beautiful seven year old girl who steals the show whenever she appears and brings a touch of lightness to the plot even though she is suffering a lot from the loss of her mother, Becca. A woman who seemed to be more than perfect.
When the family goes on vacation to England at Becca's best friend house, Clare, and takes Flora along with them, all the dilemmas that were very well guarded come to the fore in a strong and intense way making each rethink their behaviors and decisions.
Although I think Sarah Morgan has put a greater focus on Izzy who spent the whole book being a spoiled and boring teenager, I really liked the way she conducted each character's revelations, putting them at the right time to cause the necessary tension and good impact on the player.
5/5 stars
Resenha
Flora se sente um peixe fora d'água desde que perdeu a mãe com oito anos. Tudo muda no dia que Jack surge em sua frente com um sorriso triste no rosto a procura da flor certa para dar a suas filhas que sofrem com a perda recente da mãe.
Jack é um viúvo que faz de tudo para tornar a vida das filhas o mais descomplicada possível e parece não estar logrando sucesso em suas empreitadas. Ao conhecer a doce florista Flora que parece ver através dele, ele vê uma nova chance de felicidade surgir.
Mas Izzy, filha mais velha de Jack, não vê com bons olhos esta aproximação e faz de tudo para atrapalhar o casal. Ela guarda algumas dores para si e tambem luta para manter sua relação com a irmã mais nova, Molly, bem tranquila.
Molly é uma linda garotinha de sete anos que rouba a cena sempre que aparece e traz um toque de leveza à trama mesmo sofrendo muito com a perda da mãe, Becca. Uma mulher que parecia ser mais-que-perfeita.
Quando a família vai passar férias na Inglaterra na casa da melhor amiga de Becca ,Clare, e leva Flora junto,todos os dilemas que estavam muito bem guardados vem a tona de uma forma forte e intensa fazendo cada um repensar seus comportamentos e suas decisões.
Apesar de achar que Sarah Morgan lançou um foco maior em Izzy que passou o livro todo sendo uma adolescente mimada e chata, gostei muito da forma como ela conduziu as revelações de cada personagem , colocando na hora certa para causar a tensão necessária e um bom impacto no leitor.
O final é bem fofinho e me surpreendeu bastante.
4/5 estrelas
