I barely took any notes because I was so engaged with the book. Bri is a fantastic narrator who learns how to show herself to those she loves. Featuring doors we shouldn’t always open, centuries old secrets, and high action, This Poison Heart captured my heart. So besides the botany magic which is seriously fascinating, This Poison Heart is an emotional story. There is intrigue layered from the beginning and there is so much I want to scream about, but I can’t! I was entirely immersed in This Poison Heart from the beginning and my obsession only grew! The internal narration of Bri is endearing and engaging as Bri begins to uncover even more secrets. It’s a story about family and the love that defies danger. Calling out friends who don’t see us for who we are. But even more so, it’s a story about accepting the love we deserve. This Poison Heart delivers all the Black girl plant magic. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley.

It’s a story about friendship, self-acceptance, and family. I have been in such a plant magic mood and This Poison Heart hits the spot. Talk about a book I loved with my entire heart.
When I finished This Poison Heart I may have shrieked.
