True, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a bit on the dark side for the just-in-front-of-Valentine’s-Day release window in which it arrives, but its story is also achingly beautiful, a cautionary tale about losing ourselves in the things we love, and a strangely hopeful ode to the possibility of allowing others to see us for who we are.

Roshani Chokshi is the latest in a long line of popular YA authors making the leap to writing adult fiction over the past year or two. ![]()
