Sweet, at times sad romantic story with found family, flowers, Harlem history, a voodoo curse, and a love so deep. Some parts felt a bit too neat - just how two-dimensional and awful Ricki’s family was, how quickly and fortuitously Ricki’s flower shop comes to fruition, how fast and fully the main characters fall in love, the final resolution… But still a super enjoyable summer read!

Thank you Grand Central and NetGalley for the eARC of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde! All opinions in this review are my own.
I absolutely adored Seven Days in June so A Love Song for Ricki Wilde had a tough reputation to live up to. While it couldn't dethrone Seven Days in June as my favorite Tia Williams book, I still enjoyed it! I really like Ricki as a character and her relationship with Ezra, but I didn't love the chapters that flashed back into the past. I kept just wanting to read about Ricki and her flower shop! The last 100ish pages were my favorite because that's when the story really came together. Overall, Williams creates a loveable cast of characters in this magical book!
