I learned a lot about flowers from this. I had no idea they were so laden with meaning. I imagine the peony industry is going to take a hit. (This could also explain why I disliked the titular character in "Peony in Love" so much). I thought the author did an excellent job fleshing out the character of Victoria and put a lot of time and effort into her back story. The problem? None of it was realistic. She didn't act like anyone I've ever known or even me, in my craziest periods. Her actions (especially toward the end) didn't ring true. Despite that, I did kind of like her and felt compelled to keep reading. But at all times I felt like I was reading a made-up story, like none of it could really happen. Ever.
