 First line: "'I've made a decision about Daisy's future,' Thomas Bowman announced to his wife and daughter." 
 Another lovely installment to the Wallflowers series and a great conclusion! Though slightly less exciting than the previous books, perhaps lacking more substance to it, Scandal in Spring wraps up the girls' journeys perfectly. 
 Daisy Bowman is such a sweet character. She's a dreamer, a reader, a girl who wants someone she can love and who will love her as much in return. Matthew Swift is pretty much the opposite of that, being pragmatic and logical and very grounded. The hate-to-love trope is one of my favourites and it was both funny and heartwarming to see their growing affections for each other. 
 The secret that Matthew harbours throughout the book didn't really have any significance until the very end of the story and seemed pretty wasted. I would have liked to seen it used better, but because it was such a small aspect, it didn't really affect my enjoyment too much. 
 Onto the next series!
