Über dieses Hörbuch

Yorkshire anatomy lecturer Ruby Clark considers her life low-maintenance. She teaches at the local university, has two well-behaved teenage daughters, and what she doesn't know about human anatomy isn't worth knowing. Unfortunately, that knowledge doesn't stretch to plants, and she's been asked to help out on a school garden project.

Being a paramedic doesn't do Melissa Jackson's back or knees any favors, so she's looking into university courses to try a less strenuous line of her work. But the brash, proudly out, down-to-earth woman's biggest challenge is keeping her dyslexia a secret. That, and living down the stigma that follows her when people find out.

A university open day throws the two women into each other's orbits. When Mel, an expert green thumb, makes a few helpful suggestions on Ruby's garden project, Ruby convinces her to team up to make it a success.

Personality-wise, they couldn't be less compatible. Mel's brazen attitude, cocky jokes, and affinity with earthworms immediately rub the hyper-professional, straight-laced Ruby the wrong way. Can they ever find common ground?

Contains mature themes.

    I was given this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an Honest Review.When Mel and Ruby meet for the first time, it is not a good meeting. The second time is a little better, and the third even better and slowly they get closer to closer.Ruby has been assigned to do a community service garden with a bunch of Year 4s. She knows nothing about gardening and so she asks for Mel's help and they do that toegether as they get closer.It was very up and down with lots of back and forth. Sometimes that made it a fun read, and sometimes the plot turns were a little too forced in the narrative.It was a mostly enjoyable book to read though, and I definitely liked reading all the characters that were kids. They were all very unique and cracked me up at times.
