“Fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine will love The Cactus.” —Red magazine
An unforgettable love story that shows sometimes you have to embrace the unexpected.
Susan Green is like a cactus: you can't get too close. She likes things perfectly ordered and predictable. No surprises. But suddenly confronted with the loss of her mother and the unexpected news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan’s greatest fear is realized. She is losing control.
Enter Rob, the dubious but well-meaning friend of her lazy brother. As Susan’s due date draws near and her world falls further into a tailspin, Susan finds an unlikely ally in Rob. She might have a chance at finding real love and learning to love herself, if only she can figure out how to let go.
"I found myself laughing out loud." —Reese Witherspoon

Splendid read written in impeccable British-English sprinkled with that sweet and dry British humour! I LOVE IT! Meet the protagonist of the sweeping story, Susan Green aka Suze, a 45-years old pregnant single. Every aspect of her life is marked by her judgmental, black or white thought pattern. There is certainly no room for irrationality in her life. Well, except for the fact that life has its own plans that she cannot control.
I bought this book because it reminded me of another book I absolutely adore, "The Garden of Small Beginnings" by Abbi Waxman. I wasn't as impressed with "The Cactus" as I thought it was going to be. I liked Susan, but she had the tendency to get stuck in loops of doing things that didn't serve her. I'm glad I read this book, though.
