Fyra år har passerat, det är nu 90-tal och tonårsflickorna från ”Den blomstertid nu kommer” har blivit unga kvinnor. Fortfarande brottas de med olika problem som har sina spår i det förflutna. Linda söker efter mannen i sitt liv, Sussi lever i tron att ensam är stark, Sofi flyr sin ångest med alkohol och droger medan Anna har lämnat en stad hon aldrig mer vill återvända till.

Linda, Anna, Sofi och Sussi är tonåringar i mitten av 80-talet. Utåt sett är de ganska olika, men var och en av dem kämpar med problem i vardagslivet: familjekonflikter, utanförskap, pressen att alltid lyckas och oron inför framtiden. Allt medan vuxenvärlden väljer att blunda för det som sker. ”Den blomstertid nu kommer" är en bok om känslor, fasader och mänskliga hierarkier. Om att försöka hitta sig själv och undvika att gå under i en värld där de vuxna lyser med sin frånvaro. En gripande och bitvis grym berättelse, men samtidigt fylld av hopp.
