BLOOM & THORN..
-A London Love Story in 365 Journals
Joon,sells flower behind a mask.Burned,but not by fire.Born with half face a map of scars and one grey eye that never blinks right.He hides in Bloom & Thorn,his flower shop on Portobello Road,and believes love is for other people.Men without masks.Men who don't flinch at their own reflection.
Until Elara.
She walks past at 7:20am every morning,smelling like sugar and rain.She doesn't know his name.She doesn't see the man behnd the hydrangeas.But she takes the camellia he leaves.Then the tulip.Then the lavender.
And one day,she says, "Your voice is cute."
For 365 days,Joon writes her a journal.He never means to give it to her.It's just for him.to survive the hope.To survive the hurt when he ses her with another man.To survive the moment she finally look past the mask...and he has to choose whether to let her in.
She find the journal after the accident.
After the rain.
After Sugar Dusk.
After its's too late.
And page by page,she learns that the quiet florist with the ruined face loved her in every language flowers could speak.That he loved her first.That he loved her always.
Bloom & Thorn is a love story told in scrap of paper and flower meanings.It's about the cruelty of hope.The cost of hiding.
And the way one voice,calling your name,can make a man believe he's worth being seen.
For anyone who's ever thought they were unlovable.
For everyone who's ever loved someone they thought they couldn't have.
Warning:This book will ruin you.You'll cry on the bus.You'll text your ex.You'll smell lavender and think of a man in mask.
And you'll remember:
Sometimes the most beautiful love stories are the ones that never get to happen.
