Jessie finds herself newly single after finding out that her husband has been cheating on her with a younger woman. As they go through the pain of a divorce and try to split assets, tempers fray and ornaments are thrown. It's alright for William, he has a new life now with his young lady friend so he'd be quite happy to see Jessie living out her remaining days as a single lady. So when Jessie meets Owen, it takes her a while to trust him as he is younger than her, and William doesn't take it well at all. Is Owen too good to be true? William certainly thinks that Owen is not as perfect as he seems, so he does a bit of digging...just what will he uncover and by doing this does it mean that he still loves Jessie?
My heart went out to Jessie as her marriage fell apart and she struggled to get back in the dating game. Jessie is a lot stronger than she thinks, both personally and professionally; she takes her work very seriously and is clearly very good at her job. She certainly has morals which are often lacking in many people today.
It's hard to believe this is a debut novel; the writing flows so easily and I was completely drawn into the story after only a few pages. I really liked Jessie and, to be honest, I wasn't sure which man I would prefer to see her end up with. William has hurt her deeply and I wasn't sure if she would ever be able to forgive and forget, whereas Owen seemed lovely but he was very guarded and appeared to be hiding something, so I doubted whether Jessie could truly love him if she didn't really know him. Of course, there are always two sides to every story...
The Flower Seller is an impressive debut novel; Ellie Holmes has managed to weave many emotions into this raw examination of the hurt caused by a marriage breakdown and the hope of a new relationship. Heartfelt and emotive, you don't want to miss The Flower Seller.
