Recommend A... book title with three words

I thought I'd try out a new meme! This one sounds kind of fun, especially since I can't always review every book I read. This might be a fun, new way to talk about books!

Recommend A… book with three words in the title

 

The Poison Diaries | Maryrose Wood

In the right dose, everything is a poison. 

Jessamine has spent her whole life in a cottage close to her father's apothecary garden, surrounded by medicinal plants and herbs that could kill her -- although her father has never allowed her into the most dangerous part of the grounds... the poison garden. 

She's never had reason to be afraid -- until now. Because now a newcomer has come to live with the family, a quiet but strangely attractive orphan boy named Weed. Though Weed doesn't say much in words, he has an instant talent for the apothecary's trade, seeming to possess a close bond with the plants of the garden. 

Soon, he and Jessamine also share a close bond. But little does Jessamine know that passion can be just as poisonous as the deadliest plants in the garden -- for behind Weed's instinctive way in the garden is a terrible secret.


This book was so different! I really enjoyed the way Wood wrote, and the storyline was so unique! I really love the cover too. This is definitely worth a try if you're looking for something off the beaten path.
