The Elly in Bloom series is Colleen Oakes writing in a completely different mode from her YA fantasy. Elly is a flower shop owner picking up the pieces after a devastating betrayal, and the series follows her as she rebuilds her life, her business, and her ability to trust other people.

The three books offer warm, character-driven women’s fiction with a strong sense of humor and a protagonist readers root for. The flower shop setting gives the series its own charm, and Oakes proves she can write realistic emotional drama as effectively as fantasy adventure.
