Evaluation

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A socially anxious woman’s awkwardness may be the very thing that captures a minister’s heart…

When Beauty Blooms is a sweet and simple story of growth and unexpected love. Marjorie’s social anxiety and awkwardness made her instantly relatable, and I loved watching her come into her own. The short length was perfect, and the pacing kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters were wonderfully vivid and lovable for so short a book. I couldn’t help but root for Marjorie as she learned to bloom in her own time. If you enjoy quiet, heartwarming romances with a focus on personal growth, then When Beauty Blooms is definitely one you’ll want to pick up!
