Ruby, a university lecturer, is roped into a gardening project with young school kids. She’s the opposite of a green thumb. Mel, a down-to-earth paramedic, would be an ideal partner for the project but Ruby and Mel are complete opposites and don’t like each other.
In the mix: some prejudice, internalised homophobia, dyslexia (what’s that got to do with anything? read and find out), relatable situations with children and older students and – wow.
The Words Shimmer by Jenn Matthews is super entertaining but also a thought-provoking read. It’s a slow-burn romance peppered with interesting facts; I could hardly put it down! I may also have sent the author some distressed messages… oops?
