5 Star Review// We, The Wildflowers by LB Simmons





Release Date: February 11

"Their strength and ferocity stem from below the surface where their roots are forever tangled, interwoven in such a way that for the remainder of time they bloom together, and when winter finally prevails, they perish as one...until spring brings them to life once again." 

Genesis

Adam

Chloe

Lukas

No one loves them, no one cares about them, no one even sees them until they end up in Mary Rodriguez's home, an outpost for Sacred Heart's troubled youth program. It is within these walls that the four teens forge unlikely friendships. They experience the intensity of first loves, share secrets, and suffer losses, vowing to make the world a better place in spite of their personal battles with addiction, depression, loneliness, and abuse. But when the unthinkable happens, those friendships are tested in ways they never could have imagined.

Will they find strength enough to survive or will their bonds be too fractured to heal them yet again?

Review//
When I heard LB Simmons was writing a new book a while back I knew it was going to crush my soul. This book you guys was WORTH THE WAIT! I couldn't put this book down. 

My heart almost couldn't take it. The Wildflowers are comprised of four teens who have lived a life that no one should have to live. But together the learn the true meaning of friendship, love and trust. The lessons you learned with these Wildflowers in this story were lessons not every adult together has learned. 

I felt like I cried, I ached and I sympathized with our characters so much in this book. But this book has dark notes, be warned. It's not for the faint of heart with some of the circumstances our characters deal with. 

LB Simmons has such a way to captivate you with her words. I've read every book she's ever written and I would read them all over again in a heart beat. I might need some time to recover from We, The Wildflowers, but I can't wait to see what type of real life scenarios she puts in front of us again. This woman has a true talent and I thoroughly enjoyed this phenomenal book. 

Pick it up, read it, devour it but go in with a box of tissues and maybe some wine, because trust me you're going to need it! 





Meet L.B. Simmons





After graduating from Texas A&M University, L.B. Simmons did what any biomedical science major could do. She entered the workforce as a full-time chemist. Years later, never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined herself a USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author as well. 



What began as a memoir for her children, ended up being her first self-published book, Running on Empty. Initially it was written to chronicle their actions, their phrases, and their silly arguments so that when they were older, they would always have those memories. The memoir soon began to take on a life of its own, morphing into the story of a single mother with three little girls finding love when she least expected it. Soon after, her girls were given reoccurring roles in the remainder of what became the Mending Hearts series.



That's how her journey as an author began, and she hopes to God it never ends. 



L.B. Simmons doesn’t just write books. With each new work, she attempts to compose journeys of love and self-discovery so she may impart life lessons to readers. Several novels later, she’s tackled suicide, depression, bullying, eating disorders, as well as physical and sexual abuse, all the while weaving elements of humor into the storylines in effort to balance the difficult topics. Often described as roller coaster rides, her novels are known for eliciting a wide range of emotions in each story she tells.
