Second Chance (The Flowers in December Trilogy, book 3) by Jane Suen – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Second Chance by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Flowers in December Trilogy. However, having not read the first two, I found this book to be easy to pick up and read and get the idea of what happened in the past. That being said, I am going to pick up the first two books and read those because I want to know what exactly occurred that brought them to this book.

In this book, Connor has returned to live in the mountain community where he grew up. There, he encounters Mary Ann again. After meeting Mary Ann months prior when she arranged the flowers for his mother’s funeral, Connor thought he had lost his chance with Mary Ann when he returned to the city for work after burying his mother. Mary Ann still feels anger when she thinks about how the way things ended with Connor after he left. She tried to get over him by going out with someone else, but she soon realized that her new relationship was not what she wanted. Seeing Connor again has stirred up those feelings of hurt and anger, along with some feelings of wanting to know where they could go but being afraid to open herself up to hurt again. A storm on the mountain provides a couple of situations for Connor and Mary Ann to talk about what happened and figure out if they have a chance of moving forward.

This was a quick read for me. The chapters moved quickly, and I found myself at the conclusion of the story before I knew it. The story felt real because it was about two people conquering the problems that occur in real relationships. Like I mentioned before, I am going to go back and read the previous books in the series because I would like more of the backstory. However, this book can be read as a standalone and provides a good story to lose yourself in.
