I always love a fruity type of novel! This one hit the spot and I am beyond lucky to have read this. This is a historical novel, mainly taking place in the 1940s and it felt very light. Some historical fictions are very heavy in that time period and I get a little lost, but this one felt so relatable and real. I was expecting the characters to be older, but as they were only teenagers, it really immersed me in the story. They each have their own family drama, regardless the socioeconomic class they were apart of. They come together in one daring feat closer to the end, and it all comes together. The novel is told from two alternating POVs that gives the reader a taste of each distinct character's thoughts and feelings.
I once read a story about a peach farm in a class and I fell in love with it. I knew I'd fall in love with this book as well and I was not wrong. This story has so much emotion and it is carried through the story so well. Everything felt needed and that it naturally happened in that sequence. Such a joy to read these characters and their experiences. I was living life right alongside them.

5/5 stars for such a great story with a lot of hope, love, and some fruity connotations along the way!

Sweet story. Some good lessons. Very young (and very chonky for being so young)

Wholesome and lovely, I enjoyed every bit of this YA historical fiction book. Set against the backdrop of a post-depression California peach farm community, this is the story of friendship and three girls coming into their own. Loved every minute of it.

So good. All about relationships, coming together, and overcoming hard things. Excellent historical narrative with jump off the pages characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this Post-WWII coming of age story. It follows the friendship between Peggy, whose parents run a peach farm, and Ginny Rose, whose family are Okies who worked on the farm for a spell before the war. Now back in California, Ginny Rose and Peggy are reunited, with old wounds to heal and new challenges to face. Recommended for readers in grades 6+.
