Recommendation
The second I finished this book, I sent a message to TJ. The following is the start of our conversation. Angie: “You are a cruel, sadistic wench. TEARS.” TJ: “FUCK. YEAH. TEARS!!!! My job is done! I wanted tears!!!” Angie: “Not nice. I don’t like you right now.” After an admittedly slow buildup through the majority of Making Thyme, TJ closes out the trilogy’s bridge book with one HELL of a tear-jerker. I loved the first book, Buying Thyme, and I’m positive I’ll love the third and final book that’s expected to come out soon. Like many trilogies, Making Thyme is a transitional book, allowing for the lead character to develop. And much like I did in the first book, I fell in love with her and want her to overcome all of the obstacles placed in her way. [October 2013]
