TRISHA LARSON HARMON
Kirkus Review for Somewhere Between Dandelions
"A bittersweet tale that imaginatively explores themes of grief, loss, and first love.
Although the love story and the twists and turns of Claire’s family secret are the main focus of the narrative, there are quiet moments that raise engaging questions about how different types of people deal with grief and moving on. Throughout, Harmon’s pacing remains brisk without feeling rushed, which allows her to pack a lot of drama into the story; she also ties up all the narrative strands in a neatly satisfactory way."
