My Thoughts on Four O’Clock Flower
"Four O'Clock Flower" promised a mature slice-of-life romance, and it absolutely delivered. This novel isn't a light and fluffy read; it's a deeply moving story about love, family, and societal pressures, particularly for queer individuals in a traditional setting. Be prepared to feel a lot.
First Impressions
From the very beginning, I was struck by the realistic portrayal of its characters and the challenges they face. The story doesn't shy away from difficult topics, presenting them with a raw honesty that immediately drew me in. I appreciated the trigger warnings provided, which set the stage for the emotional journey ahead.
What Works Well
The heart of this novel lies in the relationship between Zheng Siqi and Qiao Fengtian. Their love story is beautifully developed, a slow burn that feels incredibly genuine. It's not a fairytale romance, but something much more real, built on mutual respect, understanding, and unwavering support. I found myself envious of the deep connection they shared, a love that weathers life's storms together.
Many readers also appreciated the author's exploration of familial relationships, particularly the complex dynamic between Qiao Fengtian and his mother. It's a heartbreakingly realistic depiction of Chinese motherhood, highlighting the sacrifices, expectations, and sometimes, the pain that can exist within those bonds. The novel also shines in its portrayal of childcare, adding another layer of warmth and tenderness to the story.
Areas of Concern
While I found the writing style beautiful and poetic, I can see how some readers might find the prose a bit long-winded at times. Some found the MC unlikeable, but I think the MC's actions were well-intentioned.

It's a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading, prompting reflection on love, family, and the importance of acceptance.
