Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her—and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...

Short and Sweet Review

Summer is kidnapped by some man calling himself Clover and she’s locked into his cellar with three other girls who he calls Rose, Poppy, and Violet, and Summer becomes Lily.

Honestly there’s not much to this book. Our main character was kidnapped and now she has to figure out how to survive and escape. Summer is trapped in the cellar with three other girls who have been there longer than her and tell her to play along because if she doesn’t she’ll be killed. We have three POVs Summers, her boyfriend Lewis, and the kidnapper Clover. I will say I enjoyed Summers the most but I did like how Clover’s gave us an insight into why he was doing what he was doing. This book reminds me of a famous case that happened during the 2010s. I will say I enjoyed the ending of this book or at least I think I did, I was on a NyQuil kick when I got to final chapter.

Overall, this book was okay. There wasn’t a lot to it, a majority of the book just follows the girls life in the Cellar and we see Clover find more potential victims and Lewis try to find Summer. I plan on reading the sequel to this book just to see what it has in store.
