Digging In, by Loretta Nyhan - starting June 14th, 2018

[Jennifer]

Paige Moresco found her true love in eighth grade—and lost him two years ago. Since his death, she’s been sleepwalking through life, barely holding on for the sake of her teenage son. Her house is a wreck, the grass is overrun with weeds, and she’s at risk of losing her job. As Paige stares at her neglected lawn, she knows she’s hit rock bottom. So she does something entirely unexpected: she begins to dig.

As the hole gets bigger, Paige decides to turn her entire yard into a vegetable garden. The neighbors in her tidy gated community are more than a little alarmed. Paige knows nothing about gardening, and she’s boldly flouting neighborhood-association bylaws. But with the help of new friends, a charming local cop, and the transformative power of the soil, Paige starts to see potential in the chaos of her life. Something big is beginning to take root—both in her garden and in herself.

Ch 6 - (view spoiler)[ I feel pretty bad for Paige. I can't imagine losing so much in such a short amount of time. It's no wonder she's losing it just a little. BTW, "Lukas" is such a typical asshat; I hope she tells him off at some point. (hide spoiler)]

[Jennifer]

Ch 11 - (view spoiler)[ Seems like a strange place to insert a mystery surrounding this dress, but ok. As for the workplace drama, I would laugh more if I hadn't seen similar things happen in real life. Petra needs to be poked in the eye! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 18 - (view spoiler)[ I think a garden party is a great idea. I hope Officer Leprechaun comes. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 24 - (view spoiler)[ Sean must have the patience of a saint! I feel for Paige; she is an emotional wreck! Sean just seems to take it all in stride. I like him. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[ So funny that Petra ended up being a hot mess, yet totally likable at the end (especially since I hated her based on her excerps). And I'm happy that Paige finally made nice with her neighbor. (hide spoiler)]
