Sweet Dandelion

By: Micalea Smeltzer

Narrated by: Ava Erickson

Dandelion Meadows is cursed. Horrible name. Horrible luck.

At 18, she should be headed off to college, all smiles and naivety. Instead, a victim of a school shooting, she’s starting her senior year in a new city and living with her brother. Nightmares of that terrible day haunt her, affecting her daily life and the relationships around her.

Forced to meet with the school counselor, Dani finds him chipping away at the walls she’s built around herself, and even her heart. Lachlan Taylor doesn’t know what to make at first of the broken student he’s tasked with helping. She’s survived a trauma he’s not sure he can save her from, but he knows he has to try.

The more time they spend together, the more they learn about what it really means to live.

Some things are forbidden. Some things are necessary for survival. Their love is both.

Age Gap and Taboo Romance

Really enjoyed this book, worth the credit!

Older male/younger female, teacher/student relationship.

The narrator is better than average.

Wonderfull love story

I loved this title very much, it was recommended to me as a soul crushing love story. It is just that, I loved all of the characters and she eneded it wonderfully . Repeat read for sure.

This Story....WOW

“Sometimes we have to hurt to be reminded that the best things in life bring us joy and pain.”

I didn't know what to expect when I read what this story was about, but it did intrigue me. You hear and see on the news relationships between an educator and student and condemn it. While although it is inappropriate on so many levels this story sheds a slightly different light on how such relationships can happen. I think that where some are of abuse, this story just didn't give me that feeling. Some may think it crazy but I actually really loved this story. It is also about the trauma of living through a school shooting. Ava Erickson is phenomenal!

" your loving me in the light"

Through the whole book there were little phrase that just stayed with you and made you feel so much emotion. I love this book could t get enough of it.

It’s going to be hard to top this one..

LOVED this book!!! I love Ava Erickson as a narrator and thought she was perfect for narration of Dani!
Nothing felt rushed and there was a lot of substance to the story.
Will definitely listen to this one again!

Really loved it

I loved the story and the performance. It was so detailed, a little too detailed at some points which made it a little lengthy. but overall a great read and a story you can really get into. I easily fell in love with all of the characters and really rooted for forbidden love.

Amazing

I almost wanted to relisten as soon as I finished. This one will stay with me!

One of the best books i've read (listened) to!!

This book is SOOO good! Sweet Dandelion will go down as one of my all time favorites! I couldn't stop listening to this... finished in a day and 1/2! The narrator was perfect and worth the listen. You will thank me later!

Great performance!

I story is unlike any I have read. It was heartwarming and one I enjoyed start to finish. The narrator did a wonderful job conveying all the emotions and characters. I recommend this book.

Amazing

This story is amazing! I loved how Dani grew throughout the story. From being a traumatized teen to taking her time to learn and grow. I was on the edge of my seat, will they, are they, how dare he! I loved the best friend, the support he provides her is enduring, I laughed and cried. This will definitely be something that will have you wondering how it will end.
