The Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas – Review by Jessica Heatherly

The Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Historical fiction is not my go-to genre but I needed a “break book” in between my usual psychological thrillers. I’m so glad I chose this one! The author does such an amazing job with the story, setting, and depth of characters. Margaret Rose is a strong and likable female lead but so many other female characters in this book are strong as well. As the novel progresses, you can even see the true strength of her mother, even though Margaret wants to live a life different from how she was raised. I truly loved this story and recommend it to anyone who normally reads historical fiction or if you’re looking for a break from your usual genre.
