The Story

You’re looking for a book to read. You probably absentmindedly flip to the inside of the cover or look at the back to see if there’s any information about the story that you’re about to spend your time reading. But here’s the thing. I’ve read a lot of books, and that means that I’ve read a lot of backs of books. And the thing about the backs of books is that they can never seem to be written correctly. Most of the short summaries end up giving way too much away, the plot, the story line, some big secret the readers would’ve wanted to figure out themselves. Other summaries are barely a description of the book- leaving you confused about the blurb after you finish reading. But for The Last Flower? Neither is true. Instead of a short summary on the back, there’s more of a scavenger hunt. A list of important words and phrases that you can pull out of the book as you read- and by the end of the book, everything will fall into place. 

So start reading! 

Hosta green eyes.
Black and white photographs.
A pole shed with candles and a record player.
The sparkling skyline of a city at night.
All the stars in the sky.
Red nail polish.
Red converse.
Red lipstick.
A black dress with embroidered daisies on it.
Did you know that Longs Peak in the Rockies Times two is K2 in the Himalayas?
Well, now you know.

And here’s two names, too.
Rebecca Adler and Brett Emerson.
Just in case you wanted to know.

You’ll know what I mean later.
I promise.
