The Girl in the Garden

Written by Kestra Pingree

Narrated by Kestra Pingree

Along the trails of endless pines, I search for truth and follow signs.

How’s your summer going? Mine is ruined.

Hi. My name is Ri. I’m the kind of delinquent teenage girl you hear horror stories about.

My parents thought they could reform my “bad” attitude and get me away from my “troublemaking” friends in the city by shipping me off to my grandparents’ house in the countryside for the summer. I’m supposed to stay clear of the “forbidden” forest and piss away my days in my grandparents’ stupid rose garden alongside a boy named Avery.

Avery is seventeen, but he chooses to work for my grandparents because he likes roses.

Well, the joke’s on them. I’m getting the hell out of here, and I won’t let anyone stop me—especially not some weirdo boy.

Reviews for The Girl in the Garden

[Patty Noonan · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was an easy and short read. The writing was OK and the characters were well fleshed out. The chapter breaks in audio were very clunky though. I was not a fan of how the story ended - not even a cliffhanger, it just stopped.
